«One of those who was always behind the scenes, but without whom much simply wouldn't have sounded.
It was Sasha who wrote the music for the songs "Not the Last Word", "Different Fates", "They See Evil", "Travel Card", "Dog" and other works by "Niestandartny Varyjant". His name was rarely on posters, but his sound was known and felt by many.

He didn't seek attention, didn't play to the crowd — he simply did his work honestly and precisely. And now, in these tracks, his voice, his rhythm, his time remain forever," wrote Dzmitry Mikhnevich.
