In the ranking of educational institutions of the capital, the lyceum "Second School" is consistently among the top five. But the lyceum's current fame cannot be compared with the incredible popularity it enjoyed in the late 60s of the last century. The second Physics and Mathematics School was the strongest, most prestigious and famous school of that time. Today, few people remember this unique pedagogical experiment, which was not developed, like many initiatives of the thaw. But graduates who consider studying at the "Second School" one of the main events in their lives remember him. There they were taught to deal with cliches, with cliche thinking, with notching, and most importantly — to think.

With songs like This World Is Sick and Sad Bitch, IC3PEAK had acquired a reputation for laying bare the malaise of many Russian millennials. By the time they reached Voronezh, the group already had been briefly detained in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk for unclear reasons and had seen a string of performances canceled. Now, a December 6, 2018 police investigation into alleged food poisoning at the Voronezh billiards club where IC3PEAK was scheduled to perform looked like it might lead to the same. In Let It All Burn, Russian filmmaker and TV journalist Andrey Loshak went behind the scenes to document the club and band’s struggle with local police and officials over the right to perform.

Viktor Krasin and Petr Yakir were convicted of participating in subversive propaganda against the USSR. The liberal opposition was temporarily demoralized. It was forty years ago, but it seems that it will be tomorrow.
