Classic Russian Rock is a genre of rock music that originated in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, synthesizers, and drum machines, as well as its lyrical themes of social and political issues. It is often seen as a precursor to the punk and new wave movements of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Classic Russian Rock is also known for its use of traditional Russian folk instruments, such as the balalaika and the bayan. It is often seen as a reflection of the political and social unrest of the time, and its lyrics often contain references to the Soviet Union and its leaders.
