Zemfira and Us. 20 Years of Trying to Unravel the Most Discussed Phenomenon of Russian Rock

How to describe Zemfira's qualities and incomprehensible skills, thanks to which her work touches the souls of more than one generation of viewers, or, to put it simply, what do we, fans, mean when we say that Zemfira is "cool"? This book offers a detailed answer for all those who agree and disagree with this statement. Copyright scandals, relationships with new performers, few communications with the press and numerous songs in which you can find all the clues are essential aspects of the phenomenon of the most visible, discussed and mysterious singer of the Russian rock scene. From "Voron-Moskvichek" to "Joseph", from "We are breaking up" to "Progulka" - all this is the soundtrack of our lives. But what is Zemfira really like? Do we know her as well as her songs? "For more than ten years, no one has written anything about her work except articles. I don't know how this is possible. We live in the same time, she is our compatriot, I don’t know a better, deeper and more talented author and performer in modern Russian music,” says the author of this book, Olga Zharkova, a professional researcher and an even more professional fan of Zemfira. Her book is a sincere attempt to understand not only Zemfira’s work, but also her personality, to look at her from different angles and reveal her secret. This book is a gift for everyone who was saved by her songs. Who smoked cigarettes to them, who danced a slow dance, who picked out chords on the guitar. This book is for everyone who considers themselves generation Z — the Zemfira generation.
