A.Zakirzyanova, the Newspaper "Vlast Truda: Dialog" September, 2004

This group became pride of Minusinsk, in any sort its symbol. In their many cities the group of support wait and here now they should become, seemingly, known all Russia. As the newspaper «Krasnoyarsk worker» has informed, following the results of the international youth festival in Ulan-Ude it have suggested to remove the videoclip. Than not an occasion to a meeting? And we have thrust to musicians on a visit. The apartment in which us have invited, has met the creative disorder. But we also did not wait for European-quality repair - a platinum disk "Allegoriya" yet has not let out. Having got on a sofa established not clearly on what, but time into two above the "not musical" colleagues, we begin conversation.

- So when and where to wait debute of videoclip - on MTV or Muz-TV?
- It is not known. Perhaps, someone also has made decision to remove a videoclip, but us on it for some reason have not informed. :)

- That is the clip will not be?!
- What clip? These are such money … To us an album to begin with to write down — over it now and it is worked.

- In Minusinsk without "Allegoriya" large youth action any in the slightest degree does not manage. And your group is considered youth, but you are not young men. If not a secret, how old are you?
- From 18 to 30. On the average leaves 24. And here group still absolutely at children's age. On February, 16th, 2003 there was our first debut concert in Abakan. We also have decided to consider this date as day of a birth. And in general we exist since 2002 but then we were not "Allegoriya". On the first performance is was festival in Sayanogorsk - we were called as "Prashchurovichi" (children of ancestors).

- Hmm, it is difficult name.
- Yes, and it turned out that us constantly incorrectly declared, confused accents. For some leaders it in general was an unpronounceable combination. Therefore at the second festival we were already renamed into "Allegoriya" that is translated, as an allegory. Though it has originally been conceived as derivative of names: Alexey, Egor and I.

- Time sends to names, let's get acquainted with all group.
- Structure of group seven persons: vocalists Yegor Kosolapov, Katerina Alfirova, Igor (Garret) Bragin, solo guitarist Alexey Bragin, clarinettist Alexey (Lemer) Haritonov, bass guitarist Vasiliy Tkachenko and drummer Denis Lvov.

- And how such big "family" gets on? Swear often?
Yegor: Yes especially also we do not quarrel, so, on trifles. Well, it is a usual life.
Garret: During rehearsals basically I swear, as the art director of this collective. Not always, of course, when something is impossible…

- And how you solved, who becomes art director?
Garret: It was solved itself. Nobody objects to my nominee.
Yegor: First, it has an experience of an art management. He based the first collective of "Shturman Lloyd".
Garret: I was one of founders. Since 1992 "Shturman Lloyd" has started to exist. And while Eugene Abragimov there did not begin to manage, I was the art director.

- You means that Eugene objects to your nominee?
- No. We simply silently have shared on two different group. He has left the name to himself, they approaches it more. Has take young musicians and has left in a pop-rock music. We began to develop every which way. Imagine that "Shturman Lloyd" would sing folklore now? We are still good friends now.

- We considered that Yegor is "the main" in your group. He such like… the most representative…

- Yegor is a manger of group. The director.
