The article covers the phenomenon of rock music in the lives of young residents of the western regions of Soviet Ukraine, which differed significantly from the rest of the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the entire USSR. The article demonstrates the peculiarities among which this music was mastered, its existence in the youth society – from fashionable dance music to the core of nonconformitsm to the Soviet system. It was reflected in the names officially and unofficially used for rock music and its performers (Big beat, vocal-instrumental ensemble, etc.), as well as in relation to official factors (from tolerance to the prohibition). Consumers of rock music did not necessarily have to be opposed to the Soviet regime. However, the active “immersion” in rock music, and the related counterculture spheres (from the late 1960s onwards, and more and more), contributed to the formation of an alternative life style, which manifested itself in particular: listening to banned radio stations, the style of clothing that was associated with rock music, space for free performance / listening to rock music and exchanging information and impressions (“tusovka”).

  • By Kateryna Ruban Submitted to Central European University History Department in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For
    REVOLUTION AS ART: LVIV INTELLECTUALS AND THE ALTERNATIVE FESTIVAL “VYVYKH-1990” by Kateryna Ruban Submitted to Central European University History department In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Yaroslav Hrytsak CEU eTD Collection Second reader: Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2008 Abstract This thesis analyzes the intellectual life in Lviv in the late 80s focusing on the group of young intellectuals who presented their cultural products as alternative to the Soviet ideology and at the same time to the traditional nationalism of the political opposition which was coming to power. The public activities of the young intellectuals demonstrate attempts to change the whole field of cultural production and its system of consecration by means of change of the concept of art and orientation of their works towards the broad public. The festival of alternative culture “Vyvykh-90” which took place in Lviv in 1990 is one of the examples of the struggle for consecration that had political and social demands for changes as its core.
