- In an interview with the authors of the book on the history of Russian pop music, “Don’t Be Shy”, Khleborodov said that the impetus for his career was given by the 1989 video for Igor Sarukhanov’s song Barber.
“Famous people argued for real money that this clip was not Russian, but a corporate one, from MTV. The feeling of victory that came with this clip drove me for many years afterwards and drove the entire production of clips in the country. People understood that it is possible not to listen West, but to do it ourselves,” he said.
