In an exclusive concert for VotVot, the master visits the most diverse periods of his legendary discography.
Home concert by Boris Grebenshchikov from London, where the musician was caught in quarantine. The audience will hear both time-tested favorite hits and new songs. Kvartirnik as a format of musical direction appeared in the period of the USSR, when musicians gathered in the apartments of friends and arranged improvised concerts, mainly in the rock style. Boris Grebenshchikov, one of the founders of the format, together with other then – beginning performers, and today – already legends of Russian rock-arranged apartment parties and sang his songs, which eventually became part of the "Golden Collection" of Russian music. Well! Again "Kvartirnik"– now on a different occasion, but with the same energy!
The life story of the legendary music critic, journalist, TV and radio host Artemy Troitsky, who for many years has been recognized as a musical authority not only in Russia, but also beyond its borders.
In August 1962, director Leslie Woodhead made a two-minute film in Liverpool's Cavern Club with a raw and unrecorded group of rockers called the Beatles. He arranged their first live TV appearances on a local show in Manchester and watched as the Fab Four phenomenon swept the world. Twenty-five years later while making films in Russia, Woodhead became aware of how, even though they were never able to play in the Soviet Union, the Beatles' legend had soaked into the lives of a generation of kids. This film meets the Soviet Beatles generation and hears their stories about how the Fab Four changed their lives, including Putin's deputy premier Sergei Ivanov, who explains how the Beatles helped him learn English and showed him another life.

Boris Borisovich Grebenshchikov (Russian: Бори́с Бори́сович Гребенщико́в; born 27 November 1953), stage name Boris Grebenshikov, also known as Boris Purushottama Grebenshikov, is one of the most prominent members of the generation which is widely considered the "founding fathers" of Russian rock music. Due as much to his personal contribution as to the undisputed and lasting success of his main effort, the band Aquarium (active since 1972 until today), he is a household name in Russia and much of the former Soviet Union. Grebenshchikov is frequently colloquially referred to as BG (Russian: БГ) (pronounced "Beh-Geh") after his initials. He is often called the 'Grandfather of Russian Rock'. (Wiki)
