Dad — a glass of port wine: how and what Russian rock stars drank

The average person imagines rock musicians as party-goers who live on the principle of "Live fast, die young" - with daily alcohol, drugs and carousing. Now this idea may seem like an outdated stereotype, but in the twentieth century it was not so different from the truth. Says the blogger soulaway, who collects photos of Russian rock musicians of the 1980s and 1990s.

Viktor Tsoi left young, and it is not known whether he would have had problems with alcohol as a result. According to the memoirs of Sergei Firsov (head of the Leningrad Rock Club's music library, director of the Kamchatka Club), Viktor was a strong and strong-willed person. But sometimes he drank too.

In this picture from Arkhangelsk, he may be drinking kvass. 

But in the photo with Konstantin Kinchev ("Alice") a bottle of port wine is clearly visible. 

Wedding. In the photo, you can identify Sergei Kuryokhin and Tsoi if you want.

Viktor Tsoi at the feast. Everyone here is kind of sad.

More photos from some wedding. Some of the events were held in the Kamchatka boiler house. Alexander Bashlachev, apparently, says a toast. 

Oleg Garkusha ("AuctIon") is recognized with a glass. Firsov makes a face with a sandwich.

Leonid Fedorov ("Auction") and Oleg Garkusha. The latter, by the way, has not been drinking alcohol at all for many years. 

Still a young Oleg from the boiler room.

And here is his colleague on the shop floor pouring. Fedorov, of course, is beautiful in such an environment.

Oleg Garkusha is resting after working days.

Young Mike Naumenko ("Zoo") and Boris Grebenshchikov ("Aquarium"). Mike has a bottle clearly visible in his hands.

Grebenshchikov confidently holds the bottle. Everyone is young and beautiful.

The Aquarium group is on vacation.

Young Mike Naumenko and the bottle.

Mike is on tap.

Konstantin Kinchev takes a sip.

Here he also indulges in beer.

They're drinking again.

And again! Here he has Anatoly Krupnov ("Black Obelisk") as a drinking companion.

He's playing with beer again.

The young group "Zero". Let's say there is kvass in a jar.

But then you can definitely see that the guys drink alcohol.

Fyodor Chistyakov ("Zero"), surrounded by bottles, became sad.

Vyacheslav Butusov (Nautilus Pompilius) and Zhanna Aguzarova are drinking and having a small conversation.

Vyacheslav Gennadievich and vodka.

He clutches his head, looking at the champagne.

Vyacheslav decided to sleep.

Apparently, Butusov regularly went to bed at all sorts of banquets. Here he is in an embrace with Firsov.

Yuri Shevchuk ("DDT") and still life.

You also have a young Shevchuk.

Uncle Yura hid behind the flowers.

"Agatha Christie" in her best years.

Another feast. Samoilov Jr. ("Agatha Christie"), Kotov's drummer ("Agatha Christie") and a young lady from the group "Eva".

And then Samoilov Sr. ("Agatha Christie") and Shura Bi-2.

The Chaif Group. Let's say they are drinking tea.

But Panov (Andrey Panov, also known as Pig, the group "Automatic Satisfiers") certainly did not drink tea.

See what a nice place the "Automatic Satisfiers" visited at one time. God, what interiors. And after all, this has been preserved to this day.

A morning glass from the hands of a beloved woman. Panov, apparently, is being brought to his senses.

Panov, port wine and a beloved woman.

Drummer Alexander Andryushkin and guitarist Konstantin Ryabinov from" Civil Defense " drink after the performance. Or maybe before.

Igor Zhevtun from "Civil Defense" and Andrey Mashnin from" Mashninband " drink before the train. 

And this is Mashnin hugging a case of beer. Firsov is sitting next to me.

They pour it out. In this photo there is Armen Grigoryan ("Crematorium") and Mike Naumenko. The photographer, however, was more interested in the glasses.

Nick Rock and Roll drinks.

Oldie (Sergey Belousov, "Committee for the Protection of Heat") watches the Toad (jazz pianist Konstantin Guryanov) and vodka.

Evgeny Fedorov (Tequilajazzz) drinks from a glass during a performance.

The bottle and Alexander Vasiliev ("Splin").

Well, Zemfira to you in the tape.

Actually, everything. And remember the most important thing: alcohol harms your health. He did not bring happiness to anyone, and some of the people represented here eventually brought them to the grave. It is better to do without it-really, who has ever been stopped by such information? In general, take care of yourself and thank you for your attention.
