Author of quotes: Boris Grebenshikov

God is one. You don't have to believe in Him - you have to love Him.

Without a long ruble over rough terrain, as a rule, deprives people not only of dignity, but also of mind.

Power is one thing, but the country is another. I treat my country with love - it was like that in childhood, it was like that in the 80s, and so it is now. And, fortunately, I am not used to trusting any authorities, so there is nothing to be disappointed with.

I found out on my example, if I think about money, this day I did not write. As soon as people - anyone who is engaged in creativity, - begins to think not about how to become involved in the wonder of creation, and about fame, money, influence, according to some standards, everything becomes in vain.

I have long and not without astonishment see around a wave of nostalgia for our recent past. Of course, understand the desire of people to make life durable and reliable, so there would be no depreciation of money, an obscene wealth of business lads and begging seniors... But, nostalgic for Soviet times, we somehow forget about what it was to live in a tightly closed space, separated from the rest of the world wall lies. The space in which you can at any time take men in civilian clothes, and you will be gone forever and nobody even dare to ask - what happened to you. My mom told me about the pre-war issue in her school. Someone from high school was a prank. And all three of the graduating class right from prom was taken by state security organs. Those who survived, returned from the camps many years later. Songs remaining from "Nautilus" - a reminder to all of us; a reminder and a warning: if we want that to happen again. This is what hurt the heart Ilya Kormiltsev. And now that he's no longer with us, who will now be on duty at the bell?

No wonder they say: "face-to-Face person can not see". To live in the same time genius funny. All the time take for the same as everyone else, as you yourself: have a drink with them, laugh, criticize. And only when they go somewhere further, you suddenly realize that this is no more. Yesterday's everyday life suddenly gets in proper perspective.

Aside from the obvious poetic genius, Ilya (Caregivers) were, as I like smart, sarcastic, a brilliant conversationalist. However, with a rather apocalyptic view of the world. But people must be different. Ilya first in Sverdlovsk appeared portable home Studio, which he gave to everyone - it was recorded the first albums of what would become a classic Sverdlovsk rock. And it was a fantastically gifted man. Knew several European languages, and if he needed, could easily learn any. We all owe him a great translation Tolkien, cs Lewis, Irvine Welsh and Chuck Palahniuk. A talented person is talented in everything. After graduating with a music, he with the same enthusiasm rushed in publishing, he founded the publishing house "Ultra. Culture" and began to publish books that other - more respectable - publishers would have touched and red-hot pokers. As he said himself: "Humanity is dead, there is no need for anything to blow up." As for his sentiment - that Ti es Eliot once said: "Only the unbelievers shocked by the blasphemy, blasphemy is a sign of faith." With his talents he could to live anywhere in the world. But chose to live here. I once asked him why he doesn't write more lyrics. And he sadly replied: "I don't have to". Yes, gentlemen musicians... I think you have something much missed.

In 1996, the Nautilus, fulfilling his mystical work, broke up, and the Duo Butusov-Earners ceased to exist. Maybe for everyday conflicts can be seen the wheels of fate: they did their job, did it brilliantly, and it was time to move on. You know that Lao Tzu: "the Best is having achieved success, to be eliminated". Ilya commented on the end of the Nautilus: "We have no quarrel. Just realized that no one else wants to do this project." I also wanted the group "Nautilus Pompilius" has completed his earthly journey. And so it happened. But their songs have stayed with us, and few could articulate science's definitely our strange approach to his own life.

Ilya [kormil'tsev] had a unique talent for saying the most terrible things in simple, everyday words. Everything seems to be fine, nothing special, until you look at the picture closer...

In tradition it is believed that to cast out the demon there's only one way - to call him by his name. The demon of a desperate totalitarian regime was named for the song "Chained". The words to the song list that we saw every day and took for obvious inevitability, but taken together these observations become the diagnosis. Or by prayer, cast out the devil. And the demon could not stand.

Ilya (Caregivers) has collaborated with many of the Sverdlovsk groups, but his main achievement, in my opinion, still work with the "Nautilus by Pompiliusa". They found each other. As they say: marriage made in heaven. Ilya wrote the lyrics, Thank wrote the music and sang, the band played. And the miracle happened: tandem Butusov-Breadwinners was perfect. Music Butusov and his detached voice, as if tired of the pain of the world, gave the words of Elijah the absolute reality, which made "Nautilus", may be the most important group of Russian rock. And the word rock here can understand Russian in its value inevitable fate.

Hello, today I want to dedicate the transmission of memory of Ilya Kormiltsev - poet the best of Russian rock.

You need to nurture your idiocy - it's called "controlled folly".

Great art may not arise in the era of cataclysms. Gippius? Yesenin? - God forbid. Mayakovsky? a terrible poet. True art arises from indigestion - when a person is calm, forgetting about everything, can do their work and hone each miniature face.
