Kamchatka

«Kamchatka» on Blokhina Street, 15, is a legendary boiler room where, in Soviet times, the stokers included Viktor Tsoi, Alexander Bashlachev, Svyatoslav Zadery, Andrei Mashnin, Oleg Kotelnikov, and Viktor Bondarik. Today it houses both a museum and a music club, linking two eras of Petersburg rock underground. The exhibition holds personal belongings of Tsoi, Bashlachev, and Mike Naumenko. The club has a busy concert schedule. It regularly hosts "Songs of Kino" programs performed by different lineups — "Kinokhronika," "Lunarsky," "Radius," "Ch.B.," "Teatr," "Film," and "Interesnoye Kino." Solo performers also appear, such as Valery Radionov and Vladimir Ignatiev. Concert tickets cost from 700 to 1000 rubles, depending on the program. «Kamchatka» is easy to reach from the Gorkovskaya and Sportivnaya metro stations. The venue is located in the courtyard of the building at Blokhina Street, 15, right in the heart of St. Petersburg.
