No Need to Be Shy. A History of Post-Soviet Pop Music in 169 Songs /1991-2021/

A reprint of a book about 169 post-Soviet pop hits that almost everyone in Russia knows off by heart (although not always of their own free will).

Each song is described by the people who made it a success: performers, composers, poets, producers, and video makers. Funny episodes, random revelations, and creative recipes make up a history of Russian popular culture of the past 30 years, from Car-Man to Morgenshtern.

Edited by Alexander Gorbachev*. 

The book does not include new essays and materials, but the reprint was aligned with current laws.
