Vladimir Kotlyarov

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain has inspired many creative kids to make music. So Volodya Kotlyarov, the “poet of the concrete age”, having heard “Rape Me” in the 4th grade, understood that his future was in punk rock. Now his brainchild, the "Pornofilmy" group, is many years old, and Volodya is sure that this is only the beginning of his creative path.

Vladimir Kotlyarov was born on October 28, 1987 in Dubna, a science city of the Moscow region, the concentration of geniuses of nuclear physics. The mysteries of atomic nuclei were not revealed to the musician. There is evidence that Kotlyarov has no higher education at all, allegedly he received a diploma of secondary education with a creak. This is due to an asocial lifestyle.

In an interview, Vladimir has repeatedly admitted that from the age of 18 "he walked into the abyss with the right step: he saw no reason to live, he drank every day, used drugs and almost never was sober." Strange as it may seem, Kotlyarov's idols pushed for this lifestyle: Yegor Letov, who died of alcohol poisoning, Mikhail Gorshenev, whose life was interrupted due to an overdose, Kurt Cobain, a famous heroin lover.

Once experienced auditory hallucination - "as if a serious male voice clearly speaks directly into my ear:" Get up, stop drinking! "- made Volodya shake himself. That day he first asked himself about the causes of alcoholism.

At 24, the vicious circle finally broke, the musician began a new life: bright, sober, happy. Since then, Kotlyarov admits, he has never returned to the bottle.

During the "dark" period, Volodya Kotlyarov surrounded himself with people whose thoughts in one way or another revolved around alcohol. The songs were about the same. The musician first broadcast the philosophy of burning life solo, and on October 22, 2008, the "Pornofilmy" group was born.

Volodya says that the age of the group should be counted from 2012: then the frontman gave up alcohol, and at the same time from the "alcoholic songs" that made up the repertoire of "Pornofilms". In the new tracks, the truth about the existing order of things sounded, the music became more positive.

During 2012 "Pornofilmy" "leaked" 4 albums to the Internet. They were found not only by fans, but also by famous musicians: Dmitry Kuznetsov from "Elysium" and Dmitry Spirin from the group "Cockroaches!" Today they are actively supporting young colleagues.

The main idea pursued by "Pornofilms" is mutual assistance: the musicians stand up for the fact that one should not leave the hand outstretched for help without attention. Therefore, when filling the discography in 2013, the guys announced crowdfunding.

Collected from fans 700 thousand rubles. "Pornofilmy" was sent not to record albums and not to shoot videos, but to a fund for helping patients with leukemia. At concerts, musicians exhibit "joy carts", where everyone can put toys, clothes, and other things for sick children and adults.

Most consider "Porno Films" to be punk rock, but Volodya Kotlyarov is in no hurry to put a stigma on himself. In the work of the group there are enough lyrical ballads, there is even hip-hop, so it makes no sense to speak unequivocally about its belonging to a separate genre.

Kotlyarov is not only a musician, but also a “poet of the concrete age”. This definition he gave himself in the public "VKontakte". The page contains experiences that Volodya cannot share personally. By the fall of 2015, the musician even planned to release a poetry collection, but the idea was never realized. Since 2017, the public has also been ignored.

Journalists do not ask about Volodya Kotlyarov's personal life, because his work is more important than intimate details and recounting children.

It is alleged that Kotlyarov has a wife, but on the page on VKontakte, where key information from the musician's biography is indicated, there is no information about marital status.

The leader of "Pornofilm", as a person not indifferent to the future of Russia, did not stay away from the rallies that swept Moscow in the summer of 2019. On Instagram, he posts photos from the protests, accompanying them with thoughts about the events taking place. In August 2019, the musician's indignation was embodied in the song "It will pass."

The Pornofilms website says they were working on a new album. Its presentation took place in February 2019 in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The studio recording has not yet found a listener.

2012 - "Art" 2012 - "Boring Life" 2012 - "How Many Bombs Will Explode?" 2012 - "On all screens of the country" 2013 - "Karma of workers" 2014 - "Youth and punk rock" 2015 - "Russian Dream (part 1)" 2016 - "Russian Dream (part 2)" 2017 - "In the range of despair and hope "
