Zoopark (Russian: Зоопарк) was one of the Russian rock movement's founding groups. The group was founded in 1981.[1] It consisted of singer-songwriter [[Mike Naumenko]], guitarist [[Aleksandr Khrabunov]] and a varied group of artists. The first album recorded was ''All Brothers are Sisters'' with [[Boris Grebenshchikov]] in 1978. They recorded on the banks of the Neva River in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) with a "choir" of drunken friends and colleagues playing percussion on metal cans.[2] Naumenko was a rock outcast, concentrating his work on electrified hard-core blues, although his Russian-language poetic songwriting made him a favorite in the hippie underground.[3] His inspirations included Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, T. Rex, B.B. King and Chuck Berry.[3]

Naumenko died in 1991,[1] cutting his career short. He remains celebrated, however, as a pioneer of Russian rock music, with his birthday observed in St. Petersburg clubs, along with numerous creative tributes, including a 2009 novel and an "blues opera" that premiered in 2011.[4] A collection of Naumenko's complete written works — including his samizdat translation of Richard Bach's Illusions — is being prepared for publication in 2015.[4]
