When at the age of 18, multi-instrumentalist musician Oleg Abramov left his native village of Parfino in the Novgorod region for Moscow, he said: "Mom, you'll see me on TV!" Today, the videos of his band RADIO TAPOK collect millions of views, the band tours Russia and the CIS countries, introducing more and more people to a unique musical genre - military-historical metal. Oleg is not a fan of giving long interviews, in fact, this is his debut. In this issue, you will find an exclusive and full immersion in the life, work and philosophy of the main character. We discussed many topics: the birth of a unique genre that combines rock, history and patriotism, the desire to preserve cultural ties between Russia and Ukraine, touring, family life, trips to Donbass and performing in front of Russian soldiers. Behind the ribbon, he is considered one of their own, but then why, while creating tracks for history, Oleg has not yet written a song about a special operation? We visited the hero's home village, attended a concert of the RADIO TAPOK group in Tyumen and met with Oleg's fans to hear first-hand what is so special about his lyrics, music, and voice that other artists don't have. Oleg is very sincere, open, kind, without any pretense (as fans said), a regular guy. And after talking to his mother, I realized who he borrowed his best traits from.
