What was possible in the '90s Russia now seems like absolute surrealism. Renting an abandoned building on Fontanka and organizing raves there? And then doing the same thing in a space pavilion at VDNH? Where, dancing under mushrooms at 4 a.m., you could run into cosmonaut Grechko? What kind of parallel reality is this? :D Thank you for this episode!
There is a slightly parallel event as well. When the wall was removed from East/West Germany...Pink Floyd minus David Gilmour showed up for an absurdly massive concert produced by Roger Waters and many others. They took foam bricks and built a wall, then knocked it down during the show. Normally, I am a bit reticent to see moments like that as anything other than money grabbing pretensciousness...yet I still cant really hate on that live show. So many amazing musicians, engineers, technicians and artists were involved.
thank you for this video! as a russian i am very grateful that these grand events such as gagarin party appear on an english field of internet. 80s and 90s were a huge decades for a young generations in russia - giving them and people who were doing a history at that moment a hope for a really bright future. but as you said, and as it is, there is no actual bright future. or even no future at all, i dare say. and is seems almost impossible to believe - organizing these raves, first clubs, doing great music and art.. launching mtv russia and seeing rhcp going wild on a stage near the kremlin. it was a total freedom, with gangsters, endless queues for food supplies and etc. but so damn many things were made - and it was naive and honest. peace to you all
The final quote about raves being a spiritual enlightened is something you feel when I was younger during the early 90s. It is nice to hear that is the way people felt halfway around the world. I just wish it would have transcended in to all of humankind.
Hey, some of us still have hope. It's was my Old Man's funeral the other day & maybe I shouldn't have put all those middle class sensible sorts thru the KLF, Praga Khan & DJ's Tim & Missah tunes at 7 minutes a piece. But we were ravers, it's what he would have wanted. He spent the last year of his life buying up different mixes of those tunes on vinyl. So, it seemed apt. It made me laugh & stopped me bawling, at least😊
A long time follower of the channel, I can't get enough of your content. Music, history, politics, stories from far away lands and obscure genres and artists, my favourite YT channel!
Been watching your videos since the Zamrock episode and they've only been getting better and better; keep up the great work! Btw, in your intro, right before you mentioned it, I found myself thinking "hmm, this reminds me of that Adam Curtis documentary". Now I know more about the post-Soviet rave scene.
Thank you, your channel is one of the most precious to me. It is a temple of music history and what its all about. This one documentary was especially touching and an important one to tell.
Amazing ass video. 10/10 Amazing research, journalism and story telling. I never heard of this and I'm really not into raves, but you made me feel like I was there and I loved it
Personally, I hate Russian 90's, it brought alot of grief and deaths, and Gagarin Party was like a spark, a sign of possible bright future, same as Russian 20's Avant-Garde that was subsequently demolished by Stalin. Russia is a story of a beautiful flowers showing us the creative potential of it's people, but constantly torn out by evil power. However, we adapted and know how to survive.
@@theothertonydutch the situation is very close to where you are a hostage to a maniac who raped you, your family and now trying to kill neighbour. It's traumatize a lot :(
I was a 17-year-old exchange student in St Petersburg in 1994 and 95. It was an amazing and slightly scary time to be in Russia. So much turmoil and uncertainty. A very hard time for the average Russian to live through. But as foreign students insulated with US Dollars we had a blast! I visited clubs in squatted buildings like Fish Fabrique and live concerts in Klub TamTam as well as the John Lennon Rock n Roll Temple. I wish the promise of a new Russia had been fulfilled. Perhaps there will be another revolution of the wheel and things will change. We live in hope!
20:30 Love the video, really well created but wish there was more footage with music from the actual event. Small correction; you say "It didn't last for long, no pioneering music scene does". In reality house, techno, trance, acid and all other forms of edm are more popular than ever before". Rave on brothers and sisters! PLUR. 😎❤✌
Thank you! I also wish there was more footage, but there’s simply so little available. There were 2 news channels filming that night, and their footage is available on RUclips at about 240p. 😭 Also definitely agree that house/new beat/rave music thrived, but the small community that made up Tanzpol (the group that organized the rave) did not last long. At least, the period of them being a tight-knight, underground, artistic community did not last long.
Good idea. I've read a little about it, and I know there's some amazing Polish post punk bands from that era. The "safety-valve" interpretation is also really fascinating; that communist officials believed letting kids blow off some steam for a day would help maintain order, and that's the only reason they approved the festival.
Thank you for shedding a positive light on rave culture, you spoke of it well. Also for highlighting the slice of russian society that was lucky enough to be present at such a momentous event!
I just wanted to say a big, big Thank You to this channel for covering the history of Soviet rock music with respect, which is currently hard to muster for anything russia-related (and with good reason). The second reason for this thank you is that... this is kind of recent history for most russians. Most of our mothers and grandmothers literally lived through these historic events, so you don't really hear them being discussed, and learning all of this about the music that sprung up in the 'unique' circumstances of post-soviet times was fascinating (big shoutout to the two-parter about soviet punk&rock movement). I will be sharing these videos with all of my music-interested friends, hopefully the autosubtitles&translation will do its magic to introduce the non-english-speaking audience to this video. p.s. the additional animation done for this video makes it so much goofier p.p.s. did a quick search to make sure this it wasn't just my ignorance or lack of history interest, and yeah, there is pretty much No coverage of the Gagarin party on the internet.
Waouhhhhhh, what a great pleasure to watch this report. I have so many memories about this night. I have also some footages and pictures if you need extra details about this crazy night. Fun fact : in 2019, i've received an official private invitation to visit the new Gagarin Pavillon in Moscow before opening to the public. i was back in the exact place after 28 years : ruclips.net/video/hAwDaU4CGyc/видео.html Regarding my playlist, you can listen to my set here : part 1 = ruclips.net/video/3pcuTyLQahw/видео.html part 2 = ruclips.net/video/eaDXsRDuiwA/видео.html

At 10:57 you quote from/cite "Happiness Corporation: The History of Russian Raves" by Andrei Haase which sounds like a very interesting book. I can't find a single thing about it on the internet! Where did you locate it while researching this video?

Again, as we lament what happened to Russia and nineties dreams, we should remember that this period meant that Russia did not interfere with other eastern European countries as they successfully made the switch to democracy and became free and prosperous. So it wasn't all for nothing.

It would be interesting to know how much it cost to get in. Was this just the children of the bureaucracy and the new-NEPmen in attendance? 19:30 "... the very moment the mythologies that once upheld the Soviet Union - the symbols of progress and scientific achievement - were quite literally trampled on replaced by the empty values of indulgence and greed. But this is obviously a rather shallow reading of what the Gagarin Party was actually about ... " --- The logic of the material interests of the bureaucracy that usurped power in the Soviet Union during the 1920s always meant there were two alternatives - the restoration of capitalism or a political revolution to overthrow the bureaucracy. They wanted to end their parasitic relationship to the planned economy and convert themselves instead into a capitalist class. That's what Gorbachev did for them. The "mythologies" of the bureaucracy rested on force, violence, terror, historical falsification. WSWS: ... The fact that more than 75 years after the conclusion of World War II the population of the former Soviet Union is once again confronting a catastrophe is the tragic consequence of the liquidation of the USSR 30 years ago, which was orchestrated by the Communist Party nomenklatura on the basis of the claim, now proven so tragically false, that imperialism was some sort of a myth and the reintegration of Russia into the world capitalist economy would usher in a new era of peace and security.

Do you actually believe, with your whole chest, that no one ever held wild illegal raves before that day? That it just sprung up from nowhere? 😭 Raves? The one kind of party thats usually super underground? Tell me you're never talked to someone involved with the actual underground scene anywhere in the world....
The video covers the rave scene in Russia prior to the Gagarin Party. There were smaller events like the ones at the Leningrad Planetarium set up by Tanzpol. But Russia in the late 80s was nothing like Western Europe. Prior to perestroika you couldn’t even set up a dance party without oversight from the communist youth party… at least not in a large public space like a dance hall. Did people get together in their apartments and play music and dance? I’m sure. But does that count as a “rave”? As the promoters of the Gagarin party said themselves, when they were passing out fliers, nobody understood what they were being invited to.
Heh, opportunities to be free in the 90s didn’t help them much. They wanted capitalism and to fill their bellies with eatable food, not freedom. Now, their country and leader can be literally one of the leading evil makers on Earth, and they don’t do any significant protest against it. They would instead visit some stupid rave or exhibition opening as nothing strange is going on with their country, while thousands of their mates from the villages and underdeveloped areas are dying in pointless fascist war. Americans behaved horribly in the 20th century, but at least they had a strong anti-war movement during the Vietnam War era; now Russia has its own pointless Vietnam, and what? Nothing. I always felt that Russian rock or electronic music is rather cringey and fake, pretending to be something without being it. It’s very sad and pathetic for such a big country and nation.
