Рок в СССР. История советского рока. Неприукрашенная история

The book “Rock in the USSR” by the famous rock journalist and music critic Artemy Troitsky has a rather complicated history: it so happened that it was first published in the West, and only then allowed to be printed in the Soviet Union. The book reflects the history of the origin, formation and further development of rock music in our country, and also emphasizes the differences of this phenomenon, which acquired special features, taking root on Soviet soil. The main interest for the reader is the author’s personal impressions of the events of which he was a direct witness. In addition, the book contains many unique photographs reflecting the flavor of that difficult time. And finally, the list of rock bands and albums they released is of great value to fans of this music, which gives this book a certain encyclopedic quality.
