Gadesh

Gadesh saw the Stilyagas as a group far away from national and moral ideals, acting contrary to mental values and abandoning their roots.

In general, the meykhana was the only concept that brought together the subcultural models that existed in Azerbaijan from the World War II to the mid-1980s - the period of perestroika.

In the Soviet era, they were treated as members of a social group who spent their days on the streets and had a quarrelsome, hooligan lifestyle.

One of the distinguishing features of the gadeshes was their preference for listening to songs glorifying the underworld and its traditions, as well as poetic-musical genres such as chanson and meykhana.

They, especially during the Soviet era, were under the influence of some unwritten laws and thought that it was wrong to contact the special services and the police during disputes.

The reason for this was that they were considered to be people who did not engage in work of any social value, and who stood against the Soviet intellectuals and nobles both in society and at the state level.
