[1] History of the group ( 1986-1999 ) The history of this original Siberian team dates back to the mid-eighties, when Dima Revyakin, a student of the Novosibirsk Electrotechnical Institute who was fond of poetry and rock music, decided to join forces with a prominent guitarist of the Novosibirsk rock underground, Dmitry Selivanov, and create his own group.
Soon other students of the same institute joined the guys: Viktor Chaplygin - drums and Andrey Shchennikov - bass.
The name "Kalinov Most" for the group was invented by Revyakin's then girlfriend Olga, who would soon become his wife and Muse, the love for whom he would carry over many years.
In terms of music, “Kalinov Most” was pounding out classic rhythm and blues with a touch of Siberian psychedelia.
For now, these are hippie songs about Siberian life with some folklore and a hint of protest - of course, that was the case, the time was already like that, it was 1986 and Gorbachev was calling on Soviet society to reconstruction from TV screens in every possible way.
Andrey Shchennikov finally left the band, and Oleg Tatarenko recorded the bass parts for the album.
Thanks to the release of "Weapon" and archival recordings, the band significantly improved its financial situation, and it acquired a noticeable number of regular fans in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
The album is dedicated to the memory of Dmitry's wife Olga, who died of a heart attack in December 2005.
In July 2009, the band became the headliner of a number of festivals: "Invasion", "Heart of Parmy" (Perm Krai) and "Rock-ethno-stan" (Sverdlovsk Oblast).
2010 s In 2010, an unusual DVD, Kalinov Most: Zhatva Catharsis Quest, was released, which is Dmitry Revyakin's solo album, Zhatva, in a new concert performance by the Kalinov Most group, accompanied by a specially created conceptual video sequence - essentially, a sequence of video clips united by a single concept.
Two songs from the album, Angels of Paradise and Mother Europe, achieved unprecedented success for the group - 1st place in the Chartova Dyuzhina hit parade on "Nashe Radio" for six weeks in a row each.
In the same year (2010), the band recorded a tribute album to the memory of Alexander Bashlachev - "Silver and Tears", released in 2014.
The author of the idea and almost all the arrangements of the album is Dmitry Revyakin and the group Kalinov Most, they also recorded most of the accompaniment .
Many famous rock musicians from Russia and the post-Soviet space took part in the project, most of whom personally knew Alexander.
In it, the band's leader expressed a protest "against modern world trends", which, from his point of view, are destructive.
