ROCK CALENDAR: September 24, 1952 was born Russian musician Alexei Romanov

In a nutshell – Alexei Romanov-a man who all his life dreamed of playing rock and roll... and had to suffer for his dream. What is the usual way beatleman-labuha in the USSR? Live like everyone else-and in parallel somehow find the opportunity to break away after the main work. I don't mean official musicians of any VIA – to sing "My address-the Soviet Union" from a professional scene it was necessary to have the diploma about the corresponding education (not below a music school) and any skills. To sing and play that requested a shower – had to go on the other side.
For example, I can say I lived two lives, between a little related: 1-I – physics and mathematics school – UNIVERSITY - head of the Department of the defense research Institute, head of the trade Department of a private firm - a sole proprietorship. And at the same time – 2-I – head and founder of the school VIA participation in different teams in the city, dances, weddings, restaurants, etc. of the Act had not been out, but went somewhere.
Also tried to and Lesha Romanov-entered the Architectural Institute, where he met with the same student ahov-Andrei Makarevich, where then they were together and kicked out with the wording - "we do not need musicians."

Alexey created the most important thing in his life – the band "Resurrection" and composed songs that became the basis of her repertoire.

Then he still managed to graduate from this Institute, as Makarevich-only it is no longer useful. He was busy only rock-n-roll, but since the classes were informal – that had to maneuver through life, not to get caught on the tooth to the authorities if not for illegal activities, for parasitism. God didn't save – he got caught. Left concerts, which sold homemade tickets – about the attempt of revival of private enterprise, on a par with treason. A few months he spent in prison, happily escaped with probation and confiscation of property-two old chairs, TV, player, all the money that was found and most importantly! - favorite red Fender.

Well, then the turbulent flow of life demolished all the obstacles that prevent Alexei from doing what he loved and life rushed.

On the road of disappointment. Group Sunday
