The Stas Namin phenomenon: from the rebel of "Flowers" to the artist of independent art.
Stas Nemin (real name Anastes Alekseevich Mikoyan) was born on November 8, 1951 in Moscow, to a famous and influential family, but chose to build his own unique path in art. After creating a pseudonym for his mother Nemi, he became one of the most prominent and independent figures of Russian culture. The scale of his personality made Namine the main link between our musical culture and Western musical culture: in the late 80's legendary world stars such as Peter Gabriel, Frank Zappa, members of the Scorpions and Pink Floyd visited the musician.
In 1969, Namin founded the rock group "Flowers", which revolutionized Soviet listeners' ideas about light music, introducing elements of rock and roll, psychedelic and hippie aesthetics. Such immortal hits of the group as "Summer evening" and "We wish you happiness" were included in the golden horn of the national stage.
Namin also showed himself to be an innovative producer: he created the legendary group "Gorky Park", which broke through to the world market, and also organized the first independent production center in the Soviet Union, SNC, in Gorky Park (where Western musicians came). His versatility is amazing: after graduating from the Faculty of Philology of Moscow University and the higher courses for screenwriters and directors, he realized himself in the theater, creating his own theater of music and drama, where he successfully stages both deep dramatic performances and cult world rock operas.
In addition, Stas Nemin is actively involved in painting, professional photography and documentary filmmaking, being an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts and continues to inspire new generations of artists with his constant creative freedom.
