Russian rock based on huge singer-songwriter community and lyrics means much more than music.
That s no good for me personally, who used to hear lots of good western music for years. This singer-songwriter community is much popular than abroad and do not has it s own niche. They coexist on the scene together with rock music. The history of russian rock is an interesting article if you want to dive dep in Soveit era. Inside the Russian rock we could find three major directions - Moscow scene, St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg.
