The bassist for the band, Russians (Россияне), plays guitar on his knees during an underground concert at a banquet hall, 1980. He kneels on stage at center, facing slightly right, and looks towards the fretboard as he plays. Equipment (lights, tripods, wires, microphone stands) litter the space around him. A photographer stands in the wings behind and to the right of the bassist. A pegboard-like wall lines the background. Photograph in black sleeve.
