On the eve of the 126th anniversary of the university, the Polytechnics received an extraordinary gift – the legendary rock musician, leader of the Nautilus Pompilius group Vyacheslav Butusov performed on the stage of the White Hall. He answered questions and performed several compositions. The meeting was the tenth, anniversary, within the framework of discussion club “You have the floor!” ecosystem “Lepota” and was a sold-out event.
Before meeting with fans, Vyacheslav Butusov visited the Technopolis Polytech research building on a tour. He looked at the model of the SPbPU campus, gave an interview in a TV studio, and got acquainted with the university’s capabilities.
At this time, there were no free seats left in the White Hall, as there were many people who wanted to talk to the famous musician. Registration ended a few minutes after it began, which is not surprising. The Nautilus Pompilius group began its creative activity in 1982 in Sverdlovsk and during its existence, it has given many beloved hits. In the early 2000s, the U-Piter group became a new chapter in the life of Vyacheslav Butusov, and now he is actively creating new songs with the Order of Glory.
The Polytechnicians greeted the guest with thunderous applause. The head of the news portal department of the SPbPU USO Evgeny Gusev asked questions from the Polytechnic Telegram channel, and there were also questions from the audience – an impressive queue formed at the microphone.
I am very glad to be here with you today, on the eve of a holiday. 126 years is a good age, congratulations, – Vyacheslav Gennadyevich greeted.
The conversation began with a question about spiritual development and the path to God.
We all go to God, but not everyone knows about it. When you wake up in the morning, first of all you need to thank God. The first thing I always say is: “Glory to God.” In the morning, first of all you need to read the prayer rule, which for everyone consists of a certain set of prayers. A very important point is church services, because they discipline. I am not the kind of person who can be an example of an Orthodox Christian, I am just learning for now. I can say with absolute certainty that we live in a world where miracles happen. This is not just encouraging, it is inspiring, – noted Vyacheslav Butusov.
The meeting participants were interested in how the musician evaluates modern youth.
There are wonderful young people now. I was young myself, so I understand all the emotional trepidation, the element of hypersensitivity, how difficult it can be sometimes. It is we, already polished, hardened, who perceive everything with prepared attention. My son Daniil, who has the good fortune to study at the Polytechnic University, for me is the standard that I represent today in relation to young people, – said Vyacheslav Gennadyevich.
Guests of the White Hall learned that the musician, who was educated as an architect, dreamed of becoming an engineer.
When I was a schoolboy, the ultimate dream for us was to become an engineer. At 14-15 years old, I already knew for sure that I would go to the Polytechnic, but it didn’t work out: my parents took me to the North. Now my son, a student at SPbPU, is making my dream come true, – shared Vyacheslav Gennadyevich.
The Polytechnicians asked about their attitude to music and where they get their inspiration from.
“Music, due to its abstractness and breadth of perception, is so polysemantic that there is no need to ever limit this polysemanticity. It gives every person the opportunity to see what is close to them and what they need at the moment. It is even, in a sense, therapy, a panacea. When I am in a state of perceiving music, I feel like an absolutely happy person. It is some kind of miraculous process.
I am inspired by communication with children, they give me the opportunity to continue working, because I draw on their wild energy,” said Vyacheslav Butusov.
Viewers asked about their favorite places:
My favorite place now is Tsarskoe Selo, where we live. For me, there is no better place in the world. Of course, it is connected with Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. We live in a place where Alexander Sergeevich spent a significant period of time, I see all this, I walk around these places. Everything is so fabulous!
And about protest in songs:
We never protested against anyone, because it is a bad thing. We described what was happening at the moment. Just a chronicle. What I categorically rebel against is what the devil is doing in this world.
The Polytechnicians had time to talk about many things with the legend: about overcoming creative crises, attitudes towards artificial intelligence, new formations in the Russian language, about the release of the album “Adam’s Lament” from the symphonic cycle of the same name by Vyacheslav Butusov based on the Holy Scriptures, about filming the movie “Brother”, friendship with Alexey Balabanov and Sergey Bodrov, about the golden age of the Leningrad Rock Club, Konstantin Kinchev from “Alisa” and Viktor Tsoi from “Kino”, about Yekaterinburg and happy student years.
The meeting at the Polytechnic University continued with the performance of popular songs by the group Nautilus Pompilius. Of course, Vyacheslav Butusov was called for an encore and then was not let go for a long time, having organized an impromptu photo and autograph session.
Polytechnicians shared unforgettable emotions on social networks:
“The best day ever!! Thanks to the organizers for such a gift and a wonderful evening”;
“Butusov at the Polytechnic. A hall full of students. “Goodbye, America”, “I Want to Be with You” and other hits. Calm, intelligent conversation. Excellent guitar playing, wonderful voice. Absolute delight”;
“This is amazing!!! I’ve watched the whole video a million times already!!!”
“It touched me right to the soul…”
“I want to say thank you very much! I will carefully keep the memories of this day in my heart!”
