Zemfira and Us. 20 Years in the Quest to Unravel the Most Discussed Phenomenon of Russian Rock

Zemfira — the favorite of several generations of listeners, an outstanding musician, songwriter, and performer. From "the girl with the player" to "Joseph", from "goodbye, my beloved city" to "it's time to burn bridges and change burnt light bulbs", from "I was looking for you" to "the skies of London", her songs are the soundtracks of our lives. Zemfira's fans from the 1990s and 2000s were picking chords on the guitar, falling in love to her music without memory, and parting forever, trying to decipher her codes and saving themselves with her songs. They discussed, criticized, and admired. And then, with a new young generation, everything started all over again. Zemfira leaves no one indifferent. This book is about the phenomenal musician of the domestic rock scene and the context we create around her creativity. This book is for everyone who considers themselves Generation Z — the Zemfira generation.
