	Russian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rock and roll became known in the Soviet Union in the 1960s and quickly broke free from its western roots.
		In the 1980s an underground scene of rock artists emerged that based their style on a mix of Western rock music (in particular the Beatles) and the Russian bard tradition.
		Russian rock tends to be somewhat less rhythmical and bass-driven than Western rock (one would often speak of "drive" as something that Russian music lacks).

	Boris Grebenshchikov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boris Grebenshchikov (Russian: Борис Гребенщиков) is one of the most prominent members of the generation which is widely considered the "founding fathers" of Russian rock music.
		The album featured a line-up of songs very "Russian" in both lyric and tune, and wasn't initially met with much public appreciation (in retrospect, however, it is considered by most critics one of his best records).
		The songs are melancholic bordering on heart-rending; the lyrics are either drenched in post-Byron spleen, or full of BG-branded variant of Russian irony steeped in a sense of separation between self and the world.

		Altai is a region in Russia, composed primarily of ethnic Russians and Altaians.
		Rock and roll (also spelled Rock n Roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles.
		The first important Russian composer was Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), who added religious and folk elements to classical compositions, composing pioneering operas like Ruslan and Lyudmila and A Life for the Tsar; though these operas were distinctively Russian, they were based on the Italian tradition.

	Visual Perception and Cognition in the Rock Carvings of Northern Russia
		We once again used the recording techniques developed during the previous season, in which the rock surfaces were surveyed and subsequently reconstructed in virtual form using GIS and digital imagery with orthorectification.
		Rubbings of the rock surfaces were obtained by placing paper on the rock surface and rubbing on it powdered graphite.
		In trying to interpret the role of plants in the art of food procuring communities, it is significant to differentiate between the narrative contexts in which trees appeared, and the possible relationship between plant imagery and the place it occupied within the overall visual composition.

		The affair of the transmitting rock uncovered by the Russians in Moscow is straight out of a John le Carre thriller - with a touch of James Bond gadgetry and a twist of the Keystone cops in the way it went wrong for the British.
		It is that the Russian security service has linked what appears to have been an espionage operation to the issue of foreign help being given to Russian non-governmental organisations.
		"The Russians are convinced that the West is interfering in their domestic politics and in the affairs of ex-Soviet states and that this is done through the NGO's," said Professor Margot Light of the London School of Economics.

	Belly Button Window: Russian Brides Rock
		Nearly an entire postwar Russian generation was raised without a man in the house, and Russian women have for so long had to cope alone on all fronts that many have become rather cynical about Russian men, considering them infantile little boys.
		The noted Russian sexologist lgor Kon observed that to be successful, a Soviet man had to be devious rather than adventuresome and servile rather than proud.
		Russian women are also attracted by American men who don't drink, bring home their salary (or put it in a joint checking account!), help around the house and are active partners in raising children.

	Susan Scotto's Russian Music Picks
		I'm a big fan of Russian pop and rock music, so much so, in fact, that this spring I began a new research project: I'm interviewing a series of female Russian pop singers about their careers and how they function as role models for their listeners.
		Their patriotic songs are often featured in Russian TV and movie soundtracks, and the songs' strong folk style melodies and harmonies are very popular.
		Russians sometimes refer to her as the female Mummy Troll because of her unusual voice quality.

		Progressiv rock er betegnelsen de gir musikken sin, men de strekker det begrepet vidt ut. Her er det nemlig bade elektronisk musikk, jazzrock og tidvis ganske eksperimentell rock hvor de tar i bruk en lang rekke virkemidler for a fa frem det de har pa hjertet.
		Being Russian, the vocals are also sung in Russian and though this could be a drawback to those who like to focus on the lyrical content of an album, the language does not form any barrier to the enjoyment of the album.

	EXCERPTS From "Rock in the USSR: The True Story of Rock in Russia" by Artemy Troitsky
		Here was a band of knowledgeable rock fans, and I immediately accepted them as soul brothers, because their frank eclecticism was so much more inspiring than the rigid conservatism of most of our rock groups.
		Aquarium didn't present itself to the world as a rock group, but more as a kind of family or commune (their philosophy stemming partly from that of their beloved Grateful Dead) living is their own, isolated world.
		On the one hand, Boris needed him as a bridge to the rock audience, while on the other, he envied Lyapin for the riveting solos and awesome stunts he performed in concert (playing with his teeth and behind his back, etc.) which shunted the leader into the shadows and won laurels for Lyapin.

		By the way the term "rock" was nearly prohibited (the same is of course - "progressive", "psychedelia") and the definition "beat" music and "vocal instrumental emsemble" was used instead of "rock" and a "rock band".
		But their music was too polished (except for maybe jazz rock bands) and the lyrics in their songs were emasculated and empty.
		The second LP "Russian Pictures" (1976) is their most "non-commercial" work with tasty folk influence, a must for prog fans tired of standard "progressive" sound of the seventies.

		Russian musicians now find themselves in a radically altered economic environment, and they seem unable, or unwilling, to adapt to the new economic realities.
		Rock musicians in Russia traditionally cared little about commercial success, which was both irrelevant to their art and impossible under central planning.
		While Russians have long looked to the West for rock and roll inspiration, there is little comprehension of the market factors and cultural specifics under which Western music is created, and even less knowledge of the history of Western rock.

		Although the official response to rock was a stony silence, punctuated by occasional campaigns to discredit rockers, officially-approved VIAs (vocal-instrumental assembles, the euphemism for rock band) did try to devise alternatives.
		Although rock had been long known in Soviet Russia, it was as a western phenomenon, despised by the mainstream, and idolized by a young few.
		It was not until Andrei Makarevich, lead singer of the Moscow band Time Machine, which had been in existence since 1968, began writing Russian rock in the early 1970s did Russian audiences understand that rock could be about their lives too.

		As Crem has grown and changed styles, it has emerged in the words of Rodion Schedrin, a famous Russian composer and the husband of Maya Plisetskaya, as the original “Waltz-Rock” band, much different from its underground beginnings, but always true to its passion to create original music.
