Russian Alternative Rock is a genre of rock music that originated in Russia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy use of distorted guitars, synthesizers, and electronic elements, as well as its incorporation of traditional Russian folk music. It is often seen as a reaction to the Soviet-era censorship of rock music, and is often seen as a form of protest against the Soviet Union. It is also known for its dark and often melancholic lyrics, which often deal with themes of alienation, despair, and social injustice.
