In this episode, Sami Yaffa travels to St. Petersburg and examines the vast musical diversity present in Russia's most European city. From St. Petersburg's underground musical scene to Tuvan Buddhist throat-singers, Yaffa explores a wide range of musical talents. Rooted in the multitude of musical forms present in St. Petersburg is a sense of multiculturalism, a diverse Russia. Yaffa not only shows all that St. Petersburg has to offer musically, but engages in a dialogue of what music can do in a state with issues of freedom of speech.

The project consists of the author of songs and performer Neuromonakh Feofan (real name is Oleg Stepanov), DJ Nikodim (Mikhail Grodinsky) and the Bear (originally — Feofan's wife, Irina Stepanova). Neuromonkh Feofan is a tall man with a beard whose face is hidden behind a hood, dressed in a Orthodox-like hoodie and bast shoes and holding a stave with a laser pointer hidden inside.

Neuromonakh Feofan (Russian: Нейромонáх Феофáн, lit. 'Neuromonk Feofan') is a musical project from St. Petersburg, Russia, performing music in drum 'n' bass styles. The project is popular on the Internet and got the status of an Internet meme. The group members remain anonymous.
Neuromonakh Feofan's performances are stylized as Russian festivals with group members dressed in bast shoes, kosovorotkas and sarafans. The lyrics of Feofan's songs abound with Slavic and obsolete Russian words, and the vocals are filled with characteristic rope. Neuromonakh Feofan performs his songs with balalaika side by side with drum 'n' bass rhythms.
Neuromonakh Feofan / Нейромонах Феофан
Neuromonakh Feofan (Нейромонах Феофан) is a mysterious and extraordinary product of the Russian club scene. The name “Neuromonakh” is derived from “Neurofunk,” a subgenre of drum and bass, and the Russian word for “monk.” The band sings exclusively in Russian, but mixes contemporary language with obsolete words and Old Church Slavonic to create epic verses set to electronic drum and bass mixed with traditional instruments like the balalaika.
Members of the three-man group remain anonymous, but we know the lead singer-songwriter, Feofan, conceals his face behind a hooded robe and false beard, wears sandals, and occasionally swaps his balalaika for a staff with a hidden laser. He’s also quite tall. He’s assisted by DJ Nicodemus, who sports an embroidered tunic and foot cloths, and is accompanied by a guy dressed in a bear costume. They never break character, and refuse to comment on politics, religion, or beards.
The legend of the group, as told by the group, goes something like this: Feofan began as a solo artist in St. Petersburg in 2009. Tired of city life, Nicodemus joined him in 2013 after they bumped into each other in the woods. The duo shared a cup of tea, relaxed on a tree stump and, disconnected from the overpowering rhythm of the city, conceived of a way to marry the fantastic energy of folk music to techno. They wrangled the bear, re-recorded old songs, wrote a few new ones and Neuromonakh Feofan was born.

- The Daily BeastPutin Ally Blames Crisis on Rise of Black U.S. Music Stars He Calls ‘Descendants of African American Slaves’In a sign of the times for Vladimir Putin’s twisted Russian regime, a regional governor has been backed by the State Duma after saying the “descendants of African-American slaves” are to blame for the country’s growing crisis.In a bizarre rant posted on his official Telegram channel, Shumkov described a gaping hole of emptiness at the center of Russian culture, which he argued was not the result of poverty, war, or rampant corruption, but “an underestimation of the importance of native national culture.”“Many of our children… are already growing up without knowing or remembering their kindred tribe,” he lamented, claiming that they are instead “singing songs written by the descendants of African-American slaves, often playing the ape and imitating the habits and language, brimming with, frankly, second-rate quasi-cultural vulgarity. Clinging to this secondariness, being proud of it.”“Hence the growth of overt spiritual emptiness, depression, suicides. The lack of meaning in life,” he wrote.Though Shumkov did not mention Russia’s war against Ukraine as a possible reason for the bleak mood in the country, he went on to hint at a growing rift between ordinary Russians that he blamed on outside forces, claiming that a “neglect of native culture” has led to a biblical Cain and Abel situation, with brothers pitted against brothers by “foreign ‘well-wishers’” who see them as “expendable.”While Shumkov’s remarks were simultaneously mocked and criticized on social media, the Russian State Duma found nothing offensive in his argument.Alexander Sholokhov, the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, told local media there was nothing inflammatory in his comments because he’d used the term “African-American.”“I think that depression is connected with the lack of ideology in our country,” Sholokhov said. “I disagree with [allegations of] incitement. He used the word African American. The governor acted more than politically correct, using literally the American version to designate this race, and besides… this same African-American culture occupies a significant part of show business and variety shows.”BIFF: what? Did you really say "“Hence the growth of overt spiritual emptiness?Well I would have to say and all word wise Fanzenfrenz would have to say "Just wait till you hear Biff Rose' new band "Black Cootchie Riot"
