History

A brief chronology

These are the key milestones that can serve as the foundation for an archive page, press materials, or an EPK.

1990

The beginning

Rock-Sabotage was formed in Kislovodsk as a band built around live rock energy, a strong stage presence, and original material.

1990–2000

Concerts and touring

The band performed actively across the Caucasian Mineral Waters region and the North Caucasus, building its audience and recognition on the regional scene.

1994

The “Fan Club” television program

The Pyatigorsk VGTRK studio produced a TV program entirely dedicated to Rock-Sabotage. It was written and hosted by Mstislav Chaikovsky and directed by Irina Berezhnaya. All songs for the program were recorded at the Pyatigorsk television studio.

2000

The end of the active era

By the end of the decade, the band’s active story came to a close, but its songs, recordings, and memories remained an important part of the personal and musical history of its members.

TV and memory

The trace it left behind

Rock-Sabotage is more than just a band from the past. It is a living point of origin from which the later musical paths of Victor Osadchiy and the project Forty-Three would grow.

This page can later be expanded with archive photos, posters, audio, video, and personal memories.
