ДДТ

DDT, a Russian rock band founded in 1980 in Ufa by Yuri Shevchuk. The original lineup included Vladimir Sigachyov on keyboard, Rustem Asanbayev on guitar, Gennady Rodin on bass guitar, and Rustam Karimov on percussion. DDT's breakthrough came in 1982 with submissions to the Zolotoy Kamerton competition. Their first album, Svinya na raduge (Pig on a Rainbow), was released that same year. In 1984, they produced their second album, Periferia (Periphery), which led to government persecution and forced them underground. Despite this, DDT continued releasing albums such as Vremya (Time) in 1985. The band's music gained wider recognition after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
