Dmitry Spirin, also known as Sid, famous among music lovers for his many years leading the band Tarakany!, has released a solo album «Chuzhie» made up of anti-war songs from underground bands. Spirin not only created cover versions of these songs, but also brought to light a whole layer of protest music inspired by the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
