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.

Ты не один
ДДТ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Когда в глаза свет
Проходящих мимо машин
И никого нет
На дорожных столбах венки
Как маяки
Прожитых лет
Четверть века в пути
Три века без сна
Завевает наши сердца серым дождем
И кажется все:
По нулям кислород и бензин
И с кем-то она
Но все-таки знай -
Ты не один!
Ветви старых дорог
Хлещут тебя по лицу
Нас гоняют по свету ветер и рок
Золотая листва
Полыхая огнем,
Вместе с верностью рвется к концу
Лишь ночной чернозем, чернозем
И в небе - звезда.
На дороге туман
Нам мерещится дым
Ты уехал за счастьем,
Вернулся просто седым
И кто знает, какой новой верой
Решится эта борьба
Быть, быть на этом пути
Наша судьба.
Ты не один!
The lyrics to ДДТ's song Ты не один capture a sense of loneliness and isolation in the face of life's challenges. The opening lines evoke a desolate urban landscape, where even passing cars seem to offer no human connection. The "wreaths" on the roadside poles serve as reminders of the years that have passed, emphasizing the transience of life. The singer notes that they have spent a quarter of a century on the road, living three lives behind the wheel and facing the challenges of staying awake and focused for days on end.
The song suggests that life is a struggle, symbolized by the wind and rock that chase them through the world. The golden leaves that burn like fire are a metaphor for the beauty and passion of life, but also for its fleeting nature, as they fall away and are lost. The singer reminds themselves that life can seem hopeless at times, with the air seeming to offer nothing but "zero oxygen and gasoline." However, they assert that even in the midst of the struggle, they are not alone. The song's refrain assures listeners that they are not alone in their experience, and that they will find a way through the difficulties they face.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the human experience, capturing both the loneliness and isolation that can come with prolonged struggle, as well as the hope and connection that can be found even in the darkest moments.

Когда идет дождь
When it rains
Когда в глаза свет
When there is light in my eyes
Проходящих мимо машин
Passing cars
И никого нет
And nobody is there
На дорожных столбах венки
Wreaths on the roadside posts
Как маяки
Like lighthouses
Прожитых лет
Of past years
Четверть века в пути
A quarter of a century on the road
Третью жизнь за рулем
The third life behind the wheel
Три века без сна
Three centuries without sleep
Завевает наши сердца серым дождем
Our hearts are swept with gray rain
И кажется все:
And everything seems
По нулям кислород и бензин
Zero oxygen and gasoline
И с кем-то она
And she is with someone
Но все-таки знай -
But still know -
Ты не один!
You are not alone!
Ветви старых дорог
Branches of old roads
Хлещут тебя по лицу
Lash at your face
Нас гоняют по свету ветер и рок
Wind and rock chase us around the world
Золотая листва
Golden leaves
Полыхая огнем,
Burning with fire
Вместе с верностью рвется к концу
Together with loyalty, it falls apart
Лишь ночной чернозем, чернозем
Only the nighttime black soil
И в небе - звезда.
And in the sky - a star.
На дороге туман
Fog on the road
Нам мерещится дым
Smoke appears to us
Ты уехал за счастьем,
You left in search of happiness
Вернулся просто седым
You returned just gray-haired
И кто знает, какой новой верой
And who knows, with what new faith
Решится эта борьба
This struggle will be resolved
Быть, быть на этом пути
To be, to be on this path
Наша судьба.
Is our fate.
Ты не один!
You are not alone!

На дороге туман,
А мерещится дым.
Ты уехал за счастьем,
Вернулся просто седым.
И кто знает какой
Новой веры решится эта борьба.
Был ты на этом пути.
Наша судьба,
-------------------
Перевожу в понятные образы - на вашем пути несуществующий дым (мир это иллюзия) сквозь который вы ничего не видите так как ослеплены, и в конце когда вас хорошо перемолят возникнет новая-старая вера - вера Сатаны и вы соглашаетесь что быть на этом пути - ваша судьба.
что Юра и показывает вам пальцами 5:07 Откр. 9: 11... Ангел Бездны..

Когда идет дождь
Когда в глаза свет
Проходящих мимо машин
И никого нет
Hа дорожных столбах венки
Как маяки
Прожитых лет
Четверть века в пути
When it's raining
When in your eyes is the light
of cars passing by
And no one is there
On the posts by the road hang wreaths
Like beacons
Of years gone by
A quarter of a century in journey
Третью жизнь за рулем
Три века без сна
Завевает наши сердца серым дождем
И кажется все:
По нулям кислород и бензин
И с кем-то она
Hо все-таки знай -
Ты не один!
Third life behind the wheel
Three centuries without sleep
Our hearts are swirled in gray rain
And it seems like the end:
No more oxygen, nor gas
And she's with someone else
But nevertheless know -
You're not alone
Ветви старых дорог
Хлещут тебя по лицу
Hас гоняют по свету ветер и рок
Золотая листва
Полыхая огнем,
Вместе с верностью рвется к концу
Лишь ночной чернозем, чернозем
И в небе - звезда.
The branches of old roads
Whip back in your face
We're driven across the world by wind and rock music
Golden foliage
Blazing like flame
Together with faithfulness rushes to the end
Only the night's black soil
And in the sky - a star
Hа дороге туман
Hам мерещится дым
Ты уехал за счастьем,
Вернулся просто седым
И кто знает, какой новой верой
Решится эта борьба
Быть, быть на этом пути
Hаша судьба.
Fog on the road
We seem to see smoke
You left to find happiness,
Returned only gray-haired
And who knows, with what new faith
Will this battle be decided
To be, to be on this path
Is our fate
When it's raining
When in your eyes is the light
of cars passing by
And no one is there
On the posts by the road hang wreaths
Like beacons
Of years gone by
A quarter of a century in journey
Third life behind the wheel
Three centuries without sleep
Our hearts are swirled in gray rain
And it seems like the end:
No more oxygen, nor gas
And she's with someone else
But nevertheless know -
You're not alone!
The branches of old roads
Whip back in your face
We're driven across the world by wind and rock music

Blazing like flame
Together with faithfulness rushes to the end

And in the sky - a star

Returned only gray-haired
And who knows, with what new faith
Will this battle be decided
To be, to be on this path
