The history of the Komsomolsk group began with the acquaintance of Daria Deryugina, Ivan Ryabov and Arina Andreeva in 2015, long before the release of the first joint works. A few months later, Daria suggested that Ivan and Arina create a Russian-speaking musical group, and they agreed. The participants chose the name intuitively - the choice fell on the "Komsomolsk" proposed by Ivan Ryabov. A little later, Ilya Lopatin joined the band as a drummer. With this composition in 2016, the group began rehearsals.
The band released their debut mini-album "Комсомольск-1" (Komsomolsk-1) in 2017. The presentation of the mini-album took place on June 21, 2017 at a joint concert with the group "Любовь и Роботы" (Love and Robots). From the first performance, multi-colored wigs of girls became an invariable element of the group's stage image. One of the reasons for the appearance of wigs at concerts was Daria's desire to distinguish between her two projects: the Russian-language Komsomolsk and the English-language "Gin&Milk", founded before the appearance of Komsomolsk. After the first concert in connection with the move to Poland, Ilya Lopatin left the group, and his place was taken by the Voronezh drummer Pavel Kochetov. Immediately after the performance, Komsomolsk began to cooperate with the independent music label "Peter Explorer", on which two more mini-albums were released by the end of 2017: "Касса Свободы" (Kassa Svobody) and "90210".
The fourth mini-album "Дорогие Москвичи" (Dear Muscovites), recorded in the spring of 2018, became a major breakthrough. The release was followed by the filming of the first video "Где мы сейчас?" (Where are we now?), solo concerts in Moscow, performances at the festivals "Дикая Мята" (Wild Mint), Пикник "Афиша" (Picnic "Afisha"), "Motherland", "Антон Тут Рядом" (Anton Tut Ryadom), a performance in the program "Вечерний Ургант" (Evening Urgant). As part of cooperation with "Яндекс.Музыка" (Yandex.Music) a video was filmed for the song "Оркестр" (Orchestra) and the song "Мы ищем человека" (We are looking for a man) was recorded for the "Inhuman Music project", created in collaboration with the "Yandex" neural network. In 2018-2019, the first tour of the Komsomolsk group took place in the cities of Russia and Belarus, a distinctive feature of which was the performance of cover versions of hits of local cult groups at every performance.
In 2019, the fifth mini-album "День Психа" (The Day of the Psycho) was released. The presentation of the work took place on the roof of "Рабочий и Колхозница" (the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) pavilion and, despite the rain, the concert was played to the end. On December 23, the group published its only video from the release for the song "Чёрный Квадрат" (Black Square).
August 21, 2020 saw the light of the first full-length album of the Komsomolsk group, "Ближний Свет" (Near Light), which includes nine compositions. The work was included in the list of the best albums of 2020 according to the editors of the online editions "Медуза" (Meduza) and "Ридус" (Ridus).

Комсомольск Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Мятные ночи, искры из открытых глаз прохожих нежных
Для нас специально велодорожки и парк Зарядье
Моя улица и новые скамейки
Крафтовые бары, фестиваль варенья
И может, даже, это навсе
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да-да!
Может быть, это нарочно для нас
В разных районах и переходы
Закрываются ровно в час
До утра ночь опять между нами
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да-да!
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да, навсегда!
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да-да!
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да, навсегда!
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да-да!
Да, может быть, навсегда. Да-да, навсегда!
The lyrics of Комсомольск's song "Фестиваль" convey a sense of optimism and possibility. The song suggests that everything that surrounds the singer is deliberately created for them, as if the world is tailor-made to cater to their desires. The opening lines, "Maybe all this is only for us, Mint nights, sparks from the open eyes of gentle passers-by" paint a picture of a magical and enchanting atmosphere. The mention of specific locations like the bike paths and Zaryadye Park, as well as the introduction of new benches on the singer's street, highlights the idea of a personalized and enhanced reality.
The lyrics continue to express the belief that this world might be forever, with the repeated lines, "Yes, maybe forever, yes-yes-yes! Yes, maybe forever, yes-yes, forever!" This repetition reinforces the notion that these special experiences and surroundings are not temporary, but everlasting.
As the song progresses, it suggests that perhaps these elements are intentionally created for the singer. The mention of different districts and closures at specific times, as well as the comforting presence of night between the singer and the listener, hints at a deliberate orchestration of their experiences. The song leaves it open-ended, stating that these circumstances could last forever.
Overall, "Фестиваль" portrays a world that seems custom-made for the singer, where every detail aligns with their desires. The lyrics evoke a sense of wonder and possibility, suggesting that perhaps this perfect reality could endure indefinitely.
