St Petersburg, built on a bog by decree, where every arriving cart once paid its toll in stone, the streets of Vasilyevsky are named for canals that were planned and never dug, and the bridges go up at twenty-five past one, leaving you on the wrong bank until five. Moscow calls the curb bordyur; here it is porebrik, and that is not opinion.

Fast Russian rock welded to a full symphonic orchestra at 168 BPM — distorted guitar, massed strings, brass, timpani and tubular bells over a marching quarter-note pulse — opening on a spoken Russian line and carried by alternating male and female leads in heavily Russian-accented English, unison choruses building to an anthemic gang-vocal finale.
