Leader of the radical group "Red Star" Vladimir Selivanov explains why he supports the protests and why rehash Tsoi, Vysotsky and Pugachev. The phenomenon of the "Red Star" something like the phenomenon of the "civil", which many employees Selivanov. The same violent extremism, the attention to altered states of consciousness, a sense of impending disaster, filthy "garage" post-punk sound. Founded in 1993 by Vladimir Selivanov and Yevgeny Belov group "Red Star", and after a series of striking underground releases like "Ostopizdenenie" left off, "The Red Wheel", "Smershevy songs", "Russian order" in 1998 to exist. The founders were occasionally appears under the name "Four." But in 2009, the "Red Star" again with the release of the powerful new album again "play play, played with you, someone who you play" and dilogy "World trillion Rainbows". Vladimir Selivanov - "Red Star" for a long time, it is known in Belarus. But activity in Russia, it seems almost impossible - and now other concerts, one by one. What has changed? - By the year 2000, we are much more known in Russia as in Belarus. But then completely stopped carrying anywhere. For almost ten years for various reasons, we were at times, but was not a regular activity. It is only in the studio. We have continued to record albums, always a studio band, but rather a duet (Selivanov and Belov). In 2011, we still collected a full (by the way, the original) composition and began performing regularly as it is. For a rock band - Here's how. Moscow, everything is different seen from Minsk. Even on "Slavic Bazaar" I've heard of the "stars" ... They have always been interested in social issues. The new album is in this respect again densely populated images "life." How important is it now? You can see an increase of interest of young people in politics? - I clearly share the social issues and politics. The common global justice - First of all we look forward to talk about basic human values. This is our social themes: freedom. The feeling of freedom and in fact, their exploitation. Freedom as a ghost exists everywhere. But the sense of smell ... This gives people confidence. And yes, that is true. As for the politicians ... It is to unite human nature. In the religious, political, financial, and other clubs. This is normal. I see no difference between political parties and do not think it necessary to support one of them. - But there was a time, and participated support. You have such a special outgrown, or think you have in the trend? All these Moscow "Marches of millions" and the Belarusian "storming palaces" - because they clearly nonpartisan. - Yes. Support and participate. I was 20 years old and was interested in the possibility of changing the world. Later I realized that there are other ways. Like our music, for example. Assaults palaces support. This is a realization of the right to survive, the right to liberty. Our track "Freedom 2012" - it's about really. - This tour is "2012 Freedom" as. But let me ask you - or inner freedom ... - Freedom is not differentiated, I think so. - Do you seriously believe that internally unfree people can build a free society? - I truly believe that all people have the right to liberty. I seriously believe that it is necessary to help them realize that right. Not an instrument for assessing the degree of inner freedom. What do we know about the man? We judge them by their actions that motivate the environment. But the presumption of freedom is more important motivations! After all, today's meeting and the fight against totalitarianism ROC - it is not a signal of willingness to build a free society? Although it is not all men, but only the activists matter. It is important to keep this enthusiasm, not to let them alone. - To what extent can and then you have to go? Unfreedom is easy to learn, some details of the life dissatisfaction ROC on the mat and go blasphemy freedom - in attacks on police officers. Do you feel that the line in order to explain to his audience? - I support the social protest. It's simple. And to clarify - this is politics. Humanity has for thousands of years, without my explanation. They are all for the existence of various institutions - including law enforcement. If institutions do not work - the person rebels. This is what we observe today. I do not believe in a bloodless uprising. So everything is possible. And mate, and "blasphemy" and attacks on police officers. System ceased to satisfy the people. It features new system. Without flags of political parties, but are immediately wily politicians, eager to warm disgruntled citizens under his banner. But it will pass. All people have a common origin, and I, as a person, I can not be indifferent. I support justice and fight for them. - They sing: "You are not like everyone else, you can not use it." In Moscow "is not like all" in the "March of Millions" is used to organize riots. It turns out, or you absolutely wrong, or strategies can all turn into mud. - Politics is essentially dirt. So, above all, we are correct. The authorities are not willing to let go without blood - that proves the centuries. You need blood, and so it is. Everyone who went to the barricades will not die, right? But in a totalitarian state, where all the original injury of an agreement between the people, in other words, does not seem to work. Therefore, the collision. But once again - we are for justice and not for blood. I call not to kill. I support the spirit of the innovators who have the desire to be free and able to do them. That is, we have no relationship. There are no specific complaints. And the non-specific, too. It's just an observation. Group "Red Stars" - Let's go to gay issues. For example, why in your work so many "remakes"? - What exactly do you mean with remakes? - I refer to the numerous letters - and Pugachev and blockbuster and Tsoi. It is quite unusual for such a serious group. Was published, for example, recently a cover of the song Yegor Letov "Aquarium", it was a unique event. And you - covering the entire spread. Why? - I tend to think that many of the songs unrealized sufficient. Including "The World" with Derbeneva Zatsepin and "pass you on .." Group "Cinema", and many others, including his own. Born and covers. Ahead, the. Way the cover "The Ballad of resignation to Paradise" Vysotsky - Stop Stop, you can read more? Pugachev, Choi and Vysotsky not disclose these songs? Or see how to change the intonation? I am the way, your cover songs seem rather ironic. - Not disclose, yes. But this is just our opinion. This is not irony. Vysotsky perfectly sang "The Ballad of ...", but! It was a song for the film. It deforms format. Vysotsky deformiruesh not primarily, it is too strong, but it looks simple and ironic. Since the "Flight of Mr. McKinley" - ironic film. He seemed to mock. And the song is very serious! I want to give it a second life. I'm sure - we can do it. - Why are so many songs in your work on other people's poems? Alina Vituhnovskaya same Mayakovsky ... Not creative jealousy? - After a time when musical ideas were too many, I had been experimenting musically, not work the trouble with text. And so were the work of a text, the "soperezhit", that is, to be able to be used reliably. - Empathy women texts, probably much more difficult? - Alina women not only! This is not a woman-whiner. This is something new in poetry. You Mayakovsky not as Akhmatova. When we speak of an all-male or all-female poetry. - And how long now? Revival of the "Red Star" it is no coincidence? Were there any specific plans? - This is not a revival. Change vectors. We do not want to record albums. We want to play concerts. Constantly. As a musician, no attic experimenters. - In an interview you have complained that in Moscow you walk the same narrow range of audience. Now the situation has changed? What would you call the "" public, and there is a desire to expand their offerings? - I'm not complaining. I stated. Now the situation has changed significantly. At the last concert in Moscow "Moscow" at the ENEA 40 people came. A month ago, B2 was determined. And the audience is completely different. But we continue to expand the circle of participants, enhance the music. It is a complex balance between rock and pop music, but it seems that we have received. The single "Freedom Emptiness 2012" - proof. Song is in "our" mind, but they are easy to understand. And the fans with the experience that they like almost everything. I have not heard angry reviews. - Does this mean that the post-punk anyway "Red Star" is coming to the pop-rock? - I do not think that there will be a pop-rock. I'm not ready to label, but the prefix "pop" muzyklnomu automatically every style characterizes them as frivolous. I want to avoid. We play some serious music, but adapted to the majority. It's a matter of texts, of course. - If the "Red Star" is to participate in summer festivals this year? - No. We did not have time to prepare themselves, and left no to the festival next year. This summer, we want to remove some of the video and music. In the fall and start speaking. An exception will be on 30 appearances in Minsk June at two local festivals. "Blissful", "gold party" on the group along with $ 7000, and "Picnic Graffiti" Now with the 15th concert June in St. Petersburg (the club Money Honey) 16 June - Moscow (FM Club). - Wow "want gigs!" So, come another album this year! And that's not counting the single. - We assume that the job for the summer, when there are no concerts. We have great experience in working in the studio. I tear voice more, and so you can take all the time, without anything at all. We rehearse two or three times a week. Samples in earnest. And the new songs and a three-hour concert. Already become a standard for us Recording the album in such a case is the same sample. It's not complicated. - And the last question. Since this year anniversary Tsoi, any plans you participate in "cinematic" events? - We would be delighted were the "cinematic" events. We need to think about, thanks for the reminder! - Good luck and exciting new creative life! Clip No. I truly believe that the group came to a new level, like once Letov in recent albums suddenly as a great master. - Thank you for such a flattering assessment. 15th June, St. Petersburg, club Mani Hani, 16 June, Moscow, FM Club Vadim Ponomarev, "News Showbiz NEWSmusic.ru»
