Russian version
The good and last days of russian rock-music in Haifa.

October 1998,Kyriat Ata,Israel Concert of Haifa's russian speaking rock-groups,that leans in the last friday in Netania,show full non-perspective situation if present condition will not changes. Problem is in money also.Concerts took their place in basements(a year ago) and in places that are not adapted for that(last night). Musicians even had no money to buy a tickets to Netania.

Groups were playing for each others and a little bit friends of fans cause of bad (nothing was done) advertising.good and very serious groups like "Zhema","Poseiden","V Zagul","Babai-Kolotun" had to play for audience which is interesting only in marihuana,dances on the floor,vodka and their musical need are in records from pigs farm before holydays.Yudashkin ("V Zagul") had to drop drunks out of the podium during the perfomance of "Posieden", and hour before Kocheshkov ("Poseiden") anarmed his "fans" by confiscation knight from them.

It'll be fair to mention a wonderfull solo of Kotkovich - poet , bard and musician.

So untill today russian rock music in Haifa is still underground and even in literally meaning of this word.
