On 12 November 2025, we were joined by a legendary music critic Artemy Troitsky for an unforgettable lecture on the history of Russian rock.
Artemy Troitsky is one of the most influential voices in Russian and post-Soviet culture — journalist, lecturer, and author of iconic books such as Back in the USSR: The True Story of Rock in Russia, Subkultura: Stories of Youth and Resistance in Russia, and Pop-Soviet: The Story of Russian Pop and Rock Music.
Through his writing and public talks, Troitsky has chronicled the relationship between music, politics, and rebellion — showing how art became a form of resistance and identity.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening!
