The work
The Zverstvo is a band from a provincial Russian town of Krasnodar. Without giving a single concert in Moscow or Saint Petersburg, without releasing any records on an established label, using only internet, notably vkontakte.ru (Russian equivalent of facebook, jamendo, myspace, last.fm and archive.org) and net releases the band became known not only in Russia but also found fans in the UK, USA, Germany, France, Spain, Brazil and other countries plugged in the social networks.
