"It is necessary to hold as many festivals as possible – then it will be the real victory of rock’n’roll. And it would be great if Russian and Western musicians performed at the same events, all together. Do you understand?"
- Mikhail Gorsheniov -
This musician has millions of listeners - he brought up punk rock to stadiums. "Gorshok" - the Pot - as we all know him, and his close friend "Knyaz" - the Konung - created an entire new world in music. Understanding them is to realize what eternity is, and every time you jump into it as if for the first time. Although Gorshok is no longer with us, he is alive as no one else. You know – this is your friend on the frontline. Everything you stand for is in his music, voice and thoughts, which he always expressed openly.
Be real no matter what, defend the good, abandon symbols, think by using your mind, invest in science, live in the presence of cosmos, stake on talent, be in time, first achieve then celebrate, trust your heart, have your fantasy, learn the past and go for the future at the present, help your nearest to open up themselves, never destroy anything, awake the masses, be the culture, change whatever requires changing, and many more core points – this is all our rock musician, our punk in his wonderful dimensions, our philosopher with his important messages...
Mikhail lived in our world from 7 August 1973 to 19 July 2013, but we all believe that he is among us. He told us once: "I am young in my heart and I do not want to decompose morally and physically. You will all cry for my leave, while I will be sitting somewhere on the wet parapet near Tverskaya-Yamskaya St... And you will all cry "Gorshok, how could you!" And I will be shedding a tear and counting your victories. I will leave before I manage to bore you. And you will remember me with a kind word. I will do everything for you. And you are always with me. We are one big family, and it is natural that you will whine for me. You don’t have to, guys. We will see each other again, just live. And I will be waiting..."
