Alexei Koblov is a journalist, music critic, eyewitness and witness of the unbelievable, one of the apostles of the Russian counterculture. He has collaborated with "Zombie", "Urlight", "Counter Cult Ur'a", Fuzz, Rolling Stone, "MK", "AiF" and many other publications. He was engaged in organizing concerts and festivals with the participation of many bright representatives of Russian-speaking rock'n'roll, becoming not only an observer, but also a part of the history of Russian Woodstock. "There is a long overdue need to gather together exactly Egor's direct speech, his numerous interviews, monologues, conversations with friends, letters and give an opportunity to see him speaking exclusively in his own words, without extensive reviews, meticulous analysis and critical reviews, except for a few explanatory comments. In English-language practice there is such a form - "... in his words", which actually means: "in his words". And in the case of Letov it is doubly valuable - this is someone who really used the word as another weapon, a means to convey to the world what he lived, what he was preoccupied with and worried about. In a sense, this is the only possible attempt to compensate for the books of dialogues and conversations with Yegor, which he was offered to make during his lifetime. In the collection, covering the period from 1986 to 1997, one can see both iconic texts that influenced generations of readers and listeners, and program statements, and sharp rhetoric - everything that made up parts of a single whole or, as Yegor himself said, "a great multitude". There are also little-known interviews, extended concert monologues, letters, photographs, autographs and illustrations. All this is like a kaleidoscope with endless new combinations. Egor Letov's contradictory and yet strikingly integral personality continues to arouse undying interest". Alexey Koblov
