They immediately started recording songs. In 1973, "Flowers" released flexible records with a total circulation of 7 million pieces. All this was sold out in a few weeks. The team has gained immense popularity among Soviet citizens.
In 1974, the group went on a tour of the major cities of the USSR. Everywhere rock musicians were greeted with a bang. However, in 1975, the team ceased to exist. And all because of a serious conflict with the Philharmonic. The USSR Ministry of Culture ordered Namin to disband the group.
