Russians (Россияне) perform on stage during a music festival at the university, Vilnius, Lithuania, 1981. Audience members' heads dot the bottom edge of the photograph. Wires and microphone stands are strewn across the stage. In the mid-ground the band performs. Standing leftmost and dressed in all-white, is Georgii Ordanovskii. He plays guitar; his long hair obscures his face. The band member standing at center dons a cowboy hat. He kicks a leg into the air as he plays the triangle. The band's bassist stands at right while playing the bass guitar. The group's drummer is seated behind and to the left of Ordanovskii. He is mostly obscurred by Ordanovskii. Amps sit stacked along the left edge.
