Chimera (also known as Deputat Baltiki) was a Russian underground rock band that was formed by singer/guitarist Edward Starkov and lead-guitarist Gennady Bachinsky in St. Petersburg in 1990. It was the main group of club Tamtam,[1][2] in which began to perform Korol i Shut and Tequilajazzz. Chimera repeatedly gave concerts in Germany.[3]

In February 1997, Starkov hanged himself in attic of a rehearsal point of Chimera.[4] He was 27 years old. The Chimera stopped the existence.

Legacy

Their songs were covered by artists and bands, including: Psychea, Pilot, Iva Nova, Zakhar May, PTVP.[5] Alexei Nikonov of PTVP said: "Chimera — this the best that was in the Russian rock'n'roll. I am completely sure: throughout the 1990th in music only two new words were told: in States there was Nirvana, and in Russia — Chimera".[6]

Chimera's music are influenced by Bauhaus,[7] Nico, Butthole Surfers, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Daniil Kharms,[8] Jules Verne,[9] Helena Blavatsky,[10] Philip K. Dick.[10]
