Darling girl group, changing soloists like gloves.

10. Inveterate scammers

Reckless and hooligan recitatives from Amoralov and the company, of course, remember all the "clear boys" of that time. The first bright hoodies, saggy pants and glasses of unimaginable shapes, as well as uncomplicated texts about how to glue a girl, don’t worry and score on study and ancestors, of course, found their way into the minds of young people after straight, like a stick, doctrines Soviet Union.
