The artistic movement so-called "second Russian avant-garde" blossomed between the 1960s and the 1980s. Its distinction consisted in a complete denial of the existing aesthetics in Soviet art and literature. It was a new era in culture of the 20th century. Western press pinned pompous labels on the poets and artists of the second Russian avant-garde – “underground”, “illegal art”, etc. But they were never underground. On the contrary, they displayed their works to a wide audience. Thousands of Soviet people clustered in their miserable lodgings, and to many of them these creations were also a spiritual revelation. Works by the avant-gardists have not been estimated at their true worth until today, because they are neither commercial nor ideological.
