Thanks to a rare combination of intuition, erudition, style and charm, Artemy Kivovich Troitsky (AKT) has for many years consistently held the position of number one columnist in Russian mass culture.

To the question “What do you do best - vile libels or positive articles? he replied: “The main thing is to write about what you are not indifferent to.”

Having long ago become a cult figure, ACT held a master class with students of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, for which he gathered top officials as “visual aids.” music business, journalism, PR and even politics - from Petkun to Khakamada.

The book is filled with such unexpected information, such biased assessments, such details of the history, creativity and life of the musical party that both a specialist and a rock fan , and the casual listener of a car radio will read it with admiration. Or with indignation.
