In the third of a series on the current Russian alternative music scene, we call on St Petersburg and find out how past glories still play a part, where club culture and improvised spaces drive scenes and why the city has a #moody reputation. And discover some committed and blockbusting rock-electro hybrids. Disclaimer! No battle rap!
