Russian Graffiti

First graffiti in History of Russian graffiti on Moscow Underground trains

Graffiti in Russia began in 1985 – the same time as brake dance became popular. This is understandable since both are part of hip-hop culture. The first graffiti artists in Russia used to decorate festival scenery which - at their all immaturity - shook imagination of public not less, than dizzy pirouettes of dancers. Recently our graffiti became noticeably younger. Where the first thirty-year old artists of " the first appeal " who practically had to reach all with their own minds, now more often it is possible to see the beginners which are twice younger than them.
