Mikhail Kozyrev is a major
influencer and one of
the biggest producers when it comes to the
post soviet rock’n’roll scene in Russia. Media manager, journalist, TV-host — he is the man behind the
legendary rock-radio stations in modern Russia —
Radio Maximum, Ultra and Nashe Radio.It is him who
created from scratch the
Maxidrom Festival, Nashestive and Chartova Dyuzhina. Thanks to him we have
OST to the Brat-2 film which has been (and still is)
a huge fenomena and influence to the next generations of not only musicians, but actually
the whole country that just survived the so called "nineties".
It was
Mikhail who has brought to the
big audience such bands as
Bi-2, Zemfira, Spleen, Agata Kristi, Okean Elzy, Chicherina and many-many others.
On this tour
Mikhail Kozyrev i
s searching for the answer to the big question — how did the
rock’n’roll spirit of freedom and protest for some turned out to be a way of getting into a
friendship with the authorities that
started the most cruel war of our time?
How did it become possible that
rock heroes turned into greedy and voiceless
pro-war pro-Putin pawns instead of being
the voice of rebellion?There is no better person to find the answers to those questions.
Save the date!
