Journalist Sergei Sholokhov (1958-) interviews rock star Viktor Tsoi (1962-1990) and film critic Natalia Razlogova (1956-) at the Golden Duke Film Festival in Odesa in September 1988. 

This 1988 televised performance of Nautilus Pompilius's “Last Letter” captures the band’s cultural disillusionment with Western ideals, prefiguring post-Soviet anti-Americanism.

In 1990, the rock band Lyube performed their recent hit, "Atas," on Soviet television. The band’s state-sponsored fusion of rock music with militaristic nationalism and patriotic culture would, among other things, endear them to Vladimir Putin.

This 1992 music video for Lyube's “Stop Fooling Around, America!” uses retro newsreel footage and animation to demand Alaska’s return to Russia, deploying folksy humor to advance post-Soviet neo-imperialism.
