Well, I'm second year student of STF faculty of Korabelka (normally its 11th form of comprehensive school). Autumn of 1997. Miscellaneous airborne rubbish hurtles behind the window. I met my STF colleagues Stepanov Aleksey and Mikhailov Alega. All further is open as a day: we start smoking, hard-drinking and looking for girls. Well, we quite prospered in first and second points, but we failed with last one. Suddenly, we got know, that Lekha Stepanov could play guitar. When I had looked at him, I said: "I want to do it like he does!". I went to my uncle, borrowed his guitar and started hard playing. In three months, I could hit right to the accords and rhythm of known for me compositions. I began to create some kind of poetry and once we tried to play with Lekha Stepanov together. So we played sometimes in my place, sometimes in his and finally …… had quarreled. Well, but actually it was the spring of 1998! Taking the exams to University. As rapidly Lekha got out from STF, as rapidly he en-tered 12th form of school (evening). After that our ways slightly set different trends. I entered the University - Korabelka, and in first semester I began my relationship with very pretty girl (my former classmate). This is a very important point. On the one of drinking sessions I occasionally met Dima, later Dimskiy, and later Dimon. Suddenly, I transpired, that he played guitar too. After half- a- year stupidities and idleness, we continued to do that we earlier began with Stepanov. And happily also one enthusiast of guitar creativity and singing - drinking art joined us. His name was Zimin Aleksey (Zem). We became a super-trio. Almost all we did, we did in trio. All that took shape of real Punk Rock. We had a fun. But all that gradually got worse and worse. Sometimes Zem was late, sometimes he was lazy, but we played in Zem's garage. And whereas Mikhaylov Alega appeared again. He began to savagely gesticulate with his hands, to raise his voice and flash with his eyes. He told me that they were going to make a music project with Stepanov named "Arctic and Antarctica" and they have all except the bass and bassist. I was interested in that and went to Stepanov Aleksey. As a result Alega mystically broke with music, but vice versa Dimskiy joined us. We organized new trio. Me, Dimskiy and Ste-panov. This was not the end of mysterious events. Well, we played at Lekha's place with two guitars, bass and + microphone. We deafened all neighborhoods and shook the entire house. But after some time we transpired that we're not OK. We needed the place and the drummer. Suddenly I recall that my brother had told me that one guy from his group has the place and so on. My brother in that time had been in frontier guard armies for about an year. So I'm not the looser! I took the little notebook from his desk and called his friend. He explained me everything and I called Pasha. I explained him the en-tire situation and we went to Petergoph. We saw the place, had some fucking shock and began to play there. Then we gave up the playing for about a months. But after that months we decided to visit Petergoph again, to have a rest and fun. When we got there we saw strange guy, but he was very similar with Pasha. He said that he was Pasha's brother. We trusted him and began to play. He told us that, next week we had the chance to jut. We said: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Let us do it!". After a week we jutted and continued to play and do it up to now!!!
