 russa?. 
Agata Kristi
A pop-band formed in Sverdlovsk (nowadays Yekaterinburg) 1988. 
Number one band in Russia a few years ago. Started as quite an 
innovative rock-band but turned into playing quite standardized 
radio-disco-pop. Best albums Kovastvo i ljubov (Treatury and 
love), 1991 and Dekadans (dekadence), 1989.
Akvarium
One of the oldest existing rock bands, run by singer-song-writer 
Boris Grebenshikov. Still releasing regularly.
Alisa
One of the still existing giants of the Soviet times. Mostly 
playing quite hard rock with progressive influences. Lead by 
charismatic Konstantin Kintshev. According to some opinions 
already too old to rock'n'roll but anyway still quite innovative 
and looking for new. Has in its albums changed styles quite 
fluently from metal to beautiful acoustic melodies.
Auktsion
Slightly avant gardist rock band formed in early 1980's. Still 
quite popular and touring regularly.
Avia
An avant garde group formed by former members of Strannie Igri in 
the mid-1980's. Combined avant garde jazz, rock and dance 
performances.
Babslei
A folk-punk band of six young women. Highly fascinating 
especially live. Traditional instruments and tunes combined with 
modern sounds and rock energy.
Chaif
Jekaterinburg is the third center of Russian rock after Saint 
Petersburg and Moscow. Chaif is one of the bands coming from 
there, run by singer - guitar player Aleksandr Shahrin, who has a 
beautiful tenor voice. Really fascinating while singing the newer 
folk-like melodies and reggae but relatively boring while doing 
their old rock'n'roll material.
DDT
Formed in Ufa 1980. Won the band competition of Komsomolskaja 
Pravda but was forbidden right after the first concerts because 
of Yuri Shevchuk's provocative lyrics. Shevtchuk had to leave Ufa 
1984 because of a public campaign arranged against him by KGB. 
Shevtchuk formed new DDT in Leningrad 1986 and the band became 
phenomenously famous soon after that.
Deadushki
A rock band playing industrial and ambient. Formed by two former 
members of the influential avant garde ska band Strannie Igri 
(Strange Games): Viktor Sologub and Aleksei Rahov (also played in 
Avia and NOM) and ten years younger drummer Andrei Orlov. 
Definitely one of the best live bands in Russia nowadays thanks 
to the exploding energy and the sovereign charisma of the 
singer-keyboard player-bass playes Viktor Sologub (age 44!).
Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Civil Defense)
The most famous punk band of Russia, formed 1985 in Omsk by Yegor 
Letov. Famous for provocative lyrics.
Kino (Cinema)
Kino became a real phenomenon in the late 1980's. In Kino's music 
Viktor Tsoi's ironic texts were attached to simple melodies and 
sharp and simple soundscapes. Kino's golden era was 1988-1990 and 
it stopped when Viktor Tsoi's car driven over by a truck in 
August 1990. Memorial concerts of Tsoi are arranged every year, 
his grave is visited constantly in St. Petersburg and Kino's 
records are being sold all the time - still over ten years after 
Tsoi's death.
Kolibri (Hummingbirds)
A former quartet, nowadays a trio of women singing in a fabulous 
way with various high-quality background musicians. Quite 
artistic style which combines jazz, pop, rock into sometimes 
quite humorous but sometimes quite dark athmospheres. Often 
described as a feminist band, probably because the band is lead 
by women.
Korol i Shut (The King and the Joker)
Folk-punk from St. Petersburg. Professional musicians, good 
singers and good songs. A load of masculine energy which 
flavoured by a female violin player.
Mumii Troll
Named after the Finnish comic character, Mumii Troll has been one 
of the most popular bands in the whole Russia in the past few 
years. The band comes from Vladivostok, but has been recently 
living in Moscow and London. Their style is brit pop and on that 
branch they have nothing new to offer.
Nautilus Pompilius
Formed already in the mid-1970's in Sverdlovsk, split 1997. 
Leader of the band Vyacheslav Butusov has continued on a solo 
career and a year ago made an album with Deadushki accomplishing 
real success. In the Soviet time Nautilus was a really innovative 
band which used modern studio technique but after all the quality 
of the music varied quite a lot. Made a real break through with 
the extremely romantic and melodic pop album Knyaz tishini (Duke 
of silence), 1989.
Nogu Svelo
This band from Moscow has never been actual top-10 band but it 
has to mentioned because it's one of the most innovative bands 
during the past few years. Nogu Svelo is a very professional band 
which plays sometimes pop which fills any radio standard but then 
surprices by making fun different styles, using peculiar melodies 
and rich instrumentations.
NOM
Formed 1987. Probably the best rock band to continue the 
tradition of Russian surrealism and absurdism which was made 
famous by authors like Nikolai Gogol and Daniil Harms. NOM's 
music is a fascinating combination of traditional Russian 
melodies, rock, pop, progressive rock and even opera. NOM 
(neformalnoye obedinenie molodozhi) means unofficial association 
of youth, a term which was used in the Soviet time.
NOM has been famous for its astonishing live shows and really 
amusing videos in which it has made fun of all the taboos which 
had something to do with Soviet Union or also modern Russia. 1996 
the band was voted as the sex symbol of Russian rock for its song 
7 %, which was a tragic story of a gay man.
NOM split into two parts, Euro-NOM and Zhir-NOM, in 1997 by the 
leading Kagadeyev brothers. A little earlier Aleksei Rahov had 
left for Deadushki and Aleksandr Liver for Bern opera.
Tequilajazzz
Definitely one of the most interesting bands of the 1990's in 
Russia. Living in St. Petersburg but has been touring all around 
the world. Tequilajazzz describes its music as power pop which is 
much too narrow a description for this band which combines styles 
like pure punk and hardcore to jazz and film music. The leader 
Yevgeni Fedorov is also a highly respected film composer.
Va-Bank
Powerful rock from Moscow. The charismatic leader Aleksandr 
Skliar used to be a diplomat but he got tired of his career and 
decided to change it freedom of rock. Recorded one album in 
Finland with English texts 1987 but the stupid hard rock didn't 
find the audience. After that changed back to Russian and started 
making much more interesting music.
Vopli Vidapliassova
Humorous folk rock from Kiev, Ukraine. The band was formed in 
1986 and has been quite popular ever since. Gained some fame in 
France, too, and even toured with Sonic Youth in USA.
Zemfira
An exception in the strongly male rock-culture of Russia. This 
Russian version of Alanis Morrissette turned the Russian music 
business upside with her enormous success. Also from the 
industrial city of Ufa like DDT's Yuri Shevchuk.
Zvuki Mu (The voices of Mu)
A peculiar rock band lead by the intellectual artist Petr 
Mamonov, who's been making also film and theatre projects. The 
most recognizable characters in Zvuki Mu's music are Mamonov's 
low and tormented voice, the strange melodies and the scary sound 
scapes.
Ya i drug moi gruzovik (Me and my friend truck)
This Ukrainian trio is one of the most interesting new bands 
coming from the formes Soviet Union. The peculiar thing is that 
the band no guitar, just drummer, bass player and singer. Highly 
talented musicians and an extremely delighting live band. While 
listening to the bass player Rostislav Chaban you realize that 
guitar players are actually useless.

 russa?
C'č una buona scena "gothic" in Russia.
Due nomi che consiglierei: Dvaar (da ascoltare "Roah", abbastanza morboso
come album ) 
http://dark.gothic.ru/dvar/englishhistory.htm
e i soffici Fleur (che incidevano su Prikosnovenie), piů spostati su un
folk-pop etereo, "magico":

 branch they have nothing new to offer.
Questo a me fa cagare.
 
Uno te lo consiglio io, Billy's Band. Prendono a piene mani da Tom Waits, ma 
oltre a suonare da dio hanno una presenza scenica strepitosa.
Ero al concerto a mosca una settimana fa :D
