  DDT (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DDT (or ДДТ in Cyrillic) is a popular Russian rock band founded by its permanent lead singer, Yuri Shevchuk (Юрий Шевчук), in Ufa in 1981.
DDT in the 1980s is the story of a band skirting between underground and sanctioned status, more unsanctioned.
DDT's submission to Zolotoy Kamerton passed through to the finals and the group was invited to perform in a concert at Moscow's Orlyonok complex, together with the other finalist band, Rok-sentiabr (Rock-September) from Cherepovets.

 DDT : search word
DDT was first synthesized in 1873, and its insecticidal properties were discovered by the Swiss scientist Paul Hermann Müller in 1939 who was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his efforts.
In particular, DDT has been cited as a major reason for the decline of the bald eagle in the 1950's and 1960's, which was of particularly symbolic interest in that the eagle is the national bird of the United States.
DDT was first banned from use in Norway and Sweden in 1970 (it was not banned in the United Kingdom until 1984).

In the same summer the group took part in the rock-festival "White Nights of Saint-Petersburg " in Berlin, and in autumn was awarded with the prestigious musical premium "Ovatsia" as "The Best rock band of the year", and Jury Shevchuk received a title of "The Best rock-singer of the year".

This band was of an amateur nature, however, and the first professional success came to Yuriy in 1982, a year after he graduated art school, for his performance at the Gold Camerton festival, with his underground band, DDT.
The biting satire of DDT's lyrics has outraged the communist government of the time - and the band has often gotten into political scandals.    The political persecution took a more serious turn as Yuriy was getting ready to write a new album in 1985.
DDT's first major-label album couldn't materialize until the more lenient government practices of Gorbachev in the late 80`s.

The band certainly connected with its London audience, many of whom were young Russians born long after DDT first caught the ear of the KGB with hits like Don't Shoot when Soviet troops were fighting in Afghanistan.
Nine out of every 10 DDT albums sold in Russia is a pirated version, the singer estimated, despite the band's efforts to cap the retail prices of their CDs within Russia.
Yet DDT was not able to escape Russia's great economic crash of 1998 which forced it to cut back its work as a promoter of new bands from the regions, giving them a chance to record and appear at national rock festivals.
