At the beginning of nineties they blew up the brains of their contemporaries and rapidly became a legend of Russian cultural underground. The ZAZERKALIE (THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS), a group from Rostov-on-Don, reunited after 12 years and recorded a strictly powerful album in the genre that could be hardly determined unambiguously.

The songs of Oleg Gaponov are written in the hard mix of street folk, pathos of postnietzscheanism and images from romantic poetry of the XIX century and excite contradictory feelings.


These songs are the heart-to-heart narrated stories from life of the lost generation, full of struggle and despair. These are the eschatological oracles as if retelling by eternal prisoners of madhouses to each other and to their supervisors. These are the tired damns for the modern world-the-performance with its property that is compulsory for everyone.
