The main absurdist of Russian rock. Farewell to George Gunitsky
On June 5, a writer and musician Anatoly Gunitsky died in St. Petersburg. He studied at the same school with Boris Grebenshchikov, and in 1972 they together created the Aquarium group. Gunitsky played in a group on drums and was the author of the texts of many songs. Due to the external resemblance to George Harrison, he received the nickname "George." The BG made a musical project "Terrarium" to the poems of Gunitsky, and in 2020, the BG released the collection "George's Songs".
