Soviet Progressive and Psychedelic rock from A to Z (beta) most important artists of the USSR

Name of the band - year of their first official edited reference LP or single (they can have tons of recordings in the era) - location of origin (if only appears the city is because is from Russia)

Most of these bands were censored in our western block at the same time they did they same with western music, it was an ideological warfare started by US. Drugs were very illegal but here too. The only difference between they and us, is that they had a better political system and they only censor cause ideological warfare, not cause religion or money. There aren't all the bands because we haven't enough info specially after the russianfobic on internet in 2022, but these are the main soviet bands of the 60s-70s. In Rusia rock became most famous in the 80s when even Uriah Heep was there

*John Kay from Steppenwolf is not included but he is russian and he migrated to Canada because WWII german invasion, he was in Poland in that time* Country Joe Mc Doland is a similar situation, is not included but his super hippie american music was part of the KGB programs to use the hippie movement as a socialist tool

There were fewer bands there but because rock culture is something western and obviously less came, apart from it being a country that suffered two world wars like nobody else; in fact the hippie movement was partly invented by the KGB; what we have lived in the West these last 60 years is a big lie and now the lie is more palpable than ever, now that they are not here, capitalism shows its toughest face

It is hard to assimilate it worse on a musical level even on a musical level we were deceived with what was done beyond the iron curtain
