Alexander Nepomnyashchy - Russian poet, rock bard. A unique phenomenon in the Russian counterculture and the cult figure of the underground. An uncompromising fighter with bourgeois cultural occupation.
Start
Alexander Evgenievich Nepomnyashchy was born on February 16, 1968 in the ancient Russian city of Kovrov. At the very beginning of the nineties, he burst into a rock comet in a comet and excited even left-handed circles. He shook his bright songs. Cheered up the tired. Speaking at the Oskol Lyra festival in 1991 and becoming a laureate, the next year he took the jury chair and sat in it for a long time.

He fiercely hated the capitalist paradigm and fought fiercely with all the manifestations of a bourgeois attitude to life. Unaware of fear, he called on his comrades and fans for social restructuring and (in the words of Julius Evola) to rebel against the modern world. To the breaking of false foundations.

The revolutionary pathos of the early albums gave way to a philosophical understanding of the causes of the disaster. Deepening in religious subjects helped to outline the origins of what is happening nihilism and moral retreat. The semantic focus of his songs shifted to secularization, disbelief and warmth.
Alexander Nepomnyashchy died unbearably early, in his fortieth year of life, on April 20, 2007. He was buried in his homeland, in Kovrov, at the Trinity-Nikolsky cemetery.
The next year, Yegor Letov died, and a year later Pasha Kleshch (Klishchenko). Less and less are those who are still able to think very clearly and in time to point out that “Icy has become warm and hot has cooled” ...
