History
In 1982, Komsomolskaya Pravda declared a competition for young music performers called Zolotoy Kamerton (Golden Tuning Fork). DDT sent three compositions, "Inoplanetyane" (Aliens), "Chyornoye solntse" (Black sun), and "Ne strelyai" (Don't shoot).
During the long-running competition, the group published their first album (on tape), Svinya na raduge (A pig on a rainbow). The album contained elements of rock and roll, blues and country music.
DDT's submission to Zolotoy Kamerton passed through to the finals and the group was invited to perform in a concert at Moscow's Orlyonok complex, together with the other finalist band, Rok-sentyabr (Rock-September) from Cherepovets. DDT and three members of Rock-September, Vyacheslav Korbin, Yevgeny Belozyorov and Andrey Maslennikov, soon after recorded and published an album (on tape), Monolog v Saigone (Monologue in Saigon).
After recording the album, Sigachyov and Shevchuk returned to Ufa. Sigachyov distanced himself from the group, while Shevchuk collected new members including Rodin, drummer Sergey Rudogo, guitarist Rustam Rezvanov and keyboard player Vladislav Strochillo.
In May 1983, DDT successfully performed at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, as part of a three-day, sanctioned festival, "Rok za mir" (Rock for peace).
The new formation published the album Periferia (Periphery), recorded in April 1984.
Shevchuk spent some time in Sverdlovsk (present-day Yekaterinburg), performing with the group Urfin Juis.
In November 1985, DDT recorded the album Vremya (Time) in Sverdlovsk.
In 1986, Shevchuk moved to Leningrad (present Saint Petersburg) with his wife, son and mother.
In 1987 he rebuilt DDT. The members included:
* Nikita Zaitsev — guitar
* Vadim Kurylev — bass
* Andrey Vasiliev — guitar
* Igor Dotsenko — drums
* Andrey Muratov — keyboard
* Mikhail Chernov — saxophone
In June 1987, DDT performed at a Leningrad rock-club festival. DDT performed second-to-last and in front of a crowd of 3,000, even though the venue's capacity was 1,000.
In the summer of 1988, DDT toured across the USSR, and they record a new album, Ottepel (Thaw).
In 1989, DDT went on another tour with the group Alisa, performing also at a rock-festival in Hungary.
In 1990, DDT performed several concerts in the U.S.A. and Japan. They also performed as part of a concert in honor of Viktor Tsoy.
In 1991, DDT released another album, Plastun (Scout). The next album followed in the spring of the same year, Aktrisa Vesna (Actress Spring).
Then the group changed its performance strategy by adding programmes to its repertoire: well-prepared, conceptually linked concerts. During December 1992 and January 1993, DDT presented its first programme, Chyorny Pyos Peterburg (Black Dog Petersburg), and toured widely in CIS countries.
On 27 May 1993, the anniversary of Saint Petersburg, DDT performed a free concert on Dvortsovaya Square. 120,000 people attended.
During the summer of 1994, DDT took part in the rock festival White Nights of Saint Petersburg in Berlin. That autumn, the group was awarded the prestigious Ovatsiya award (Ovation) for Best Rock Group of the Year. Yuri Shevchuk was also named Best Rock Musician of the Year.
In the beginning of 1995, a new album, Eto vsyo… (That's all…). was recorded. In January, Shevchuk went on a mission of peace to Chechnya, where he performed in 50 concerts for the Russian troops and Chechen citizens alike.
On 25 June 1995, DDT performed a solo concert in Petrovsky stadium, which attracted tens of thousands of fans.
Afterwards, the group toured with its next programme, Ot i do (From start to finish). In the end of the winter of 1995–1996, the group worked in the USA. In February–March 1996, the group recorded a new album, Lubov (Love), at Long View Farm in Massachusetts with new musicians: bassist I. Tikhomirov (from the group Kino) and keyboard player D. Galitsky.
Bio (extended)
Yuri Shevchuk and the Russian rock group "DDT" have been leaders in the Russian rock movement for many years. Shevchuk began to put together the first incarnation of the band in the summer of 1980, and although its members have changed over the years.
DDT was organized and gave its first concerts in Shevchuk's native city of Ufa in the Ural Mountains in 1980. They received their first public recognition when they were given the "Golden Pitchpipe" prize for their song "Ne Strelyai" (Don't Shoot) in 1982 by a local newspaper.
They made their first visit to the U.S.A. in 1988, when their concert in Los Angeles was covered by MTV. After the U.S.S.R.'s dissoultion in 1991, DDT became more popular at home and abroad.
Today, DDT is one of the most popular rock groups in Russia, and their concerts attract tens of thousands of people. Shevchuk and his group also regularly travel throughout the C.I.S. and other former Soviet republics to give benefit concerts: in the spring and summer of 2002, 10 out of 11 concerts that the band played were benefits for various social and cultural organizations. They are also reaching an ever-growing audience in the U.S.A. and Europe.

Тянулись сеpые дни и никого pядом с ним
Он пpосто пил и ел, спал, тянулись сеpые дни
Тянулись сеpые дни, они и только они
Небо, улицы, люди, все в сеpой золе
Одиночество стынет на пыльном столе
Он петляет петлей от окна до окна
Из котоpых уже не видна не видна
Пpипев:
Любовь, о-о-о, любовь!
Стаpый гоpод, зевая, поднялся с земли (о-оо-о)
Он стpяхнул с себя мусоp, pазогнал коpабли (о-оо-о)
Засадил голый Невский зелёной тpавой (о-оо-ой)
Александpийский столп покpылся, как мечтами, листвой (о-оо-о)
Медный Пётp в увольнении? До сих поp нет?
Пошёл в pазнос, говоpят, ведь конь стоял столько лет
Все дома ввеpх ногами, всё сходит с ума
Вон там вдали, вон за Невой, она она!

The lyrics of ДДТ's song Любовь describe the loneliness and despair of an old man who has lived through many years and winters. The days are gray and bleak, and he has no one by his side. He eats, drinks, and sleeps, and the only thing that seems to fill his days are the gray streets, people, and sky. The old man feels trapped by his loneliness, and he spends his days wandering through his house, looking out of windows from which he can no longer see anything. The only thing that gives him any hope is the memory of a lost love, which he expresses in the recurring and emotional chorus of "Любовь, о-о-о, любовь!"
As the song continues, the lyrics express a sudden shift in tone, as the old man seems to find a new sense of vitality and energy. The city around him comes to life, and he imagines the impossible – empty streets filling with green grass, ships scattering, and even the famous Alexander Column covered in leaves. He wonders about the fate of the famous Bronze Horseman – Peter the Great – and imagines him taking off to some new adventure. The entire city seems to be turned upside down as something new and exciting is about to happen.
Overall, ДДТ's song Любовь is a beautiful and emotional reflection on the power of memory, the pain of loneliness, and the hope for something new and exciting. The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it expresses both the deep sense of longing and the hope for something better.

Gray days dragged on, and only they
Небо, улицы, люди, все в сеpой золе
The sky, the streets, the people, everything in gray dust

НАС ВСЕХ РАЗБУДИТ БОЛЬ...
Мы все уснули, все, тяжёлым сном.
В нём звон монет, дворцы и лимузины.
Отравленное воображенье в нём
Рисует нам роскошные картины.
Мы там в погоне, все бежим вперёд,
Толкая всех локтями: кто же круче?
Соревнование во сне во всю идёт:
Кто схватит куш вкусней, и кто кого задушит?
И нас разбудит только наша боль,
Которая воткнётся прямо в сердце.
По венам потечёт в душу огонь,
Проснётся совесть, как когда-то
в детстве...
Проснётся воин, чтобы меч поднять.
Проснётся врач, чтобы спасти больного.
Проснётся каждый, чтобы всех обнять
И из беды вытаскивать другого...
Проснётся стыд, за то, что всё равно.
За то, что отвернулись друг от друга.
За то, что жизнь, как пошлое кино,
И мы в нём, как скоты бежим по кругу.
Мы все проснёмся, от попавшей в грудь стрелы.
Все от того, что совесть заболела.
И ужаснёмся, от большой беды,
Которая нас спящих, одолела...
