ДДТ (DDT)

"DDT" is a Soviet and Russian rock band founded in the summer of 1980 in Ufa. The leader of the group, author of most of the songs, and the only permanent member is Yuri Shevchuk. The group's name comes from the chemical substance Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (in common parlance "For domestic animals," "Dust"), which was used in powder form to fight harmful insects. Incorrect interpretations of DDT have also been used—"Good day, comrades!," "Fools from the House of Technology," and "House of Children's Creativity."
