Yury Shevchuk still walking around the city on foot. It can be found on Pushkin street Nevsky and Liteiny prospect on the Petrograd Side. Walking around in a crowd of passers-sites with which it has much connected, the leader of the "DDT" something to think about seriously. Still ... He came back from the village, where he lived for a long time as a hermit. But in a cynical "today" and did not fit. Not a glamorous character. Do not change your attitudes and beliefs. Not friends with electricity, like most of his colleagues. He did not even go to the polls, in principle. But speaking at a concert in memory of Yegor Letov, where long talked about. "Yegor Letov was free" - We lost Yegor Letov. What kind of person do you remember him? - Young and happy - says the musician "MK". - I remember, in the 89th was the landing of the Leningrad rock club in the Crimea, we have a little rock revolution. It was the first appearance on the big stage. Even without language - funny enclaves with guitars, wandering about the country. All friends, they were all together, and it marked Egor. I must admit I knew of Sergey Letov, the older brother, with whom he. Album in 1985 Sergei then a big help, "DDT," he says saxophonist. But I do not think Jr. was Letov. Yegor impressed me - he beamed. And was full of special energy. The smile did not leave his side. - You have his memory by honored at the concert, "I got the part." Why this song? Yuriy Shevchuk - I have not played it, forget the words somewhere. Song - the young man's confession. And it still remains the power of those years. Yegor remembered, and "I got the part" suddenly appeared in my head. Maybe because I read about the role of each person in my life that may have started because the song is appropriate for the present times and circumstances. "We commend the great work joy, the meaning is unclear. Praise the joy of victory, at the slightest provocation hard ..." She is alone, and that a body is still a warrior. Everyone has their own cross. - When someone goes out of the friends of his youth, what do you think? - It's hard to say. About Egor even harder. Letov was not a public figure, and he would not have the feeling that now have his name like ... I think that in my life Yegor 25 recorded albums. And it's a lot. And many of the songs brilliantly simple! He did everything he could, and it exploded. This is the norm for our brother. "The elections will not always go" - Did you go to vote? - In principle, any vote to go because I do not for everyone. I think this is not a normal situation - if all of us decided, thoughtful, thought. I'm not an animal on the rope. - Here is to fight against the regime? - I tensed every power. And in the game, I was never fundamentally. And do not exist, absolutely. Our business - creativity. As Brodsky wrote for it is not a communist or a dissident or social classes: "The artist must see in every good and bad ..." That's it! This is important. - Do you think back that with the advent of the new government social texts in the rock? - And she did not leave. - But five years ago, they were all happy anyway, and none of the musicians do not protest! - Five years ago, "DDT" were cut from the power of spirituality and pop. As well aware that makes our youth. Sample - "Dom-2". I walk down the street and watch these young men - from the outside, as they say, glamorous. They are spirits stinks for two quarters, both of the girls, but in the eyes - emptiness. And that goes with our shark show business. So the music of protest was, is and will be. There are always conflicts between the artist and the government, between the individual and society, between the spiritual and officials. According to official means "all for the good of the state", and intellectually - "all for the good of the people." They are completely different things. And unfortunately, they have not merged in line kind of civil society. If "everything for the good of the state", it will be zero, the electorate (God forgive me), pull to the polls again to a bright future, but wherever you go And the artist is used to thinking that he does not go along with the herd. His inner freedom. In the country from which, if necessary, the protest is born, and if necessary - the lyrics. "Grebenshikov loved power" - will continue to attract the censor, you think? - The process is well underway. Closed many interesting festivals. And the concert in memory of Yegor Letov "Orlandina" closed. Uncle Bob came, pulled the cord, and the lights went out. And like many of my colleagues - directors, musicians, actors and ballet dancers - were toothless conformists. But why go far to enjoy Boris Grebenshchikov our power. - Yes, the "W." I remember once said ironically that Bob allegedly ordered the funeral march of Russian democracy ... - I do not know how this happened to him, but he was very pleased with everything. When he grown to love? Why is it occurring cynicism well? He enlightens blindness. I see and other creators who kryuchatsya in government corridors, knocking on their projects mani. That is sad. This is not the intellectuals, and some waiters. Meanwhile Muruzi house where he lived, Joseph Brodsky, of the entire literature of the Silver Age, visits covered with cracks, so that bureaucratic vulgar business nor cynical. And no matter to him. In the "new capitalists" no shame, no conscience. And they will not spend money to save the monuments. Houses destroyed in less blockade on Nevsky Prospect, as now. If the case goes on, UNESCO will move away from Peter and it would beat out the list of city-museum. This situation is not only in St. Petersburg. Went to Russian cities, destroyed historic villas and built halls, supermarkets. Rome did not die from the invasion of the barbarians, he varvarizirovalsya gradually. The same thing happens with St. Petersburg, pearl in the world. "And I'm looking for new music" - is still monitor talented young people? - Well, the curator, I've never been. Like so:. Still with bright, talented people who can communicate suffer from what is happening in the same way as I This is an informal youth that anything is wrong in our lives. And I was warm, there are boys and girls who will be if we do not stand up for the truth. And will be hacked through. Write poems, go to the "March of Dissent" is the spirit of the soldiers. - What are your global plans for the future? - The global plan - find the music I wanted to play. So far, we do introductions. Now, in the hope that the Lord will "DDT" a new program to live. - Imagine the situation that rock go into hiding. What will happen? - Start nowhere I will not. I will live and work. We are already under Brezhnev banned group, we make up for 8 years in the underground. So we have cured people and hard to break us. Of course, if you believe Shalamov, you can not break. But we will try to hold out longer.
