"Новая волна" (New Wave) is a cultural movement that emerged in the Soviet Union during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was characterized by a fresh approach to music, art, and literature, breaking away from traditional forms and embracing modern influences. This movement aimed to express the changing social and political landscape of the time. In music, "Новая волна" gave rise to new genres and styles, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements. Artists like Кино and Агата Кристи became prominent figures, reflecting the youth's desire for freedom and self-expression. The movement played a significant role in shaping contemporary Russian culture.
