Russian rock, born under strict Soviet censorship and severe restrictions, which survived the turbulent times of perestroika in the late 1980s and early 1990s, is unthinkable without the band DDT. The group has always held a special place in Russian music.

Through Yuri Shevchuk's songs and the band's rousing performances, one can trace the history of modern Russia in its sharp and unpredictable changes. DDT's music is more than just songs; it is a chronicle of modern times, revealing the stories and soul of a nation.

Over the years, the band's musical style has evolved significantly, moving from rhythm and blues to jazz, folk, industrial and indie music. Their lyrics, full of deep philosophical reflections, address social issues, combining raw emotion with poetic expression.

During its long creative journey, DDT released dozens of popular albums and toured extensively in Russia and around the world. These shows have often used state-of-the-art multimedia technology. The band is also renowned for its original video works, created in collaboration with renowned directors and artists from Russia and abroad.

DDT's music is often featured in films, and Yuri Shevchuk has so far published two books of poetry. The group is also involved in charity work.

No matter how complicated and fragile the world may seem, Shevchuk's songs offer something universal to everyone, no matter where they live: truth, love and hope. Perhaps this is what explains the band's phenomenal popularity over the decades.
