Alexey Kostarev was born and raised in the big city of Novosibirsk, but moved to Yekaterinburg in 1990 in the autumn. Actually, according to unverified reports, he was on his way to Peter, but it just so happens he didn't make it (maybe, you know). And he began to live in it, in Yekaterinburg, that is, .. Already living in Moscow, I suddenly learned that Alexei writes not only songs but also prose, and I was, to put it mildly, amazed in my opinion, purely personal, what he is doing now is just great. This is not the case in contemporary literature, at least not in the literature now published.. It's not surprising - it's rather sad. And all this ... as he loved to finish his, sometimes not very intelligible, thoughts of the wonderful writer Charles Bukowski . However, all that is said here about Alex does not matter .. It's great to hear the word "dog" written by Yuri Oshchepkov ..
