Chapter 5, Part 2: Andrei Tropillo Records the Band 'Oblachny Krai'. — 'Ublyzhya Dolya'. - Photo 1Every day, the city of Leningrad continued to surprise me with unusual people and new, unforgettable impressions. Guberman took me under his cultural wing and, after recording sessions, tried to take me to various apartment and semi-underground gigs, thereby eliminating my Pomor provincialism. Spending time like this in Leningrad was a common occurrence, but living in Arkhangelsk, I never even imagined such a thing existed—an apartment concert. In general, Guberman and Vishnya simply introduced me to the phenomenon of "Russian rock," which until then I had not acknowledged, did not know, and had no desire to know. Tropillo schooled me more on the technical side, because listening to someone else's music while sitting next to a multi-track AMPEX tape recorder was simply absurd—all precious hours were spent solely for the greater good.
