Boris Grebenshikov is a world renown musician; he is one of forefathers of Russian rock. He is also the leader of legendary group "Aquarium" which has been in existence for more than 25 years.

In the Soviet times, official authorities didn't recognize Boris Grebenshikov's creative work and the musicians of "Aquarium" group had to exist in desolate underground. At that time so-called "flat concerts" appeared, which were holding in cramped flats of friends, which were cram-full with Petersburg's freethinking youth. These concerts were being recorded on the bobbin tapes and were spreading all over the country. By the middle of eighties Boris Grebenshikov's name or BG, rose to cult. The creativity of "Aquarium" group builds up the consciousness of entire generations. Boris Grebenshikov's creative work can be compared with creative work of Bob Dylan. Many musicologists know him as Bob Dylan of Russia.

The group "Aquarium" is still at the top of their success. The musicians tour not only about Russia, but they pack out halls and stadiums in many European and American cities.

Trough the years of their existence, the composition of the group has changed more than once, and at times the changes were quite radical. Boris Grebenshikov himself explains it this way: "I consider Aquarium to be not just the name of group of people, but the characteristic of the certain type of music (rather characteristic of an approach to the music) or level of musical and literary tastes. When harmony exists in the lifestyle embodied in the music and in the lives of the members of the group who live this lifestyle, the music rises to assume its place at the proper level. This is Aquarium itself".
