Френк Заппа: заговор против граждан (Frank Zappa: Conspiracy Against People)
By Steve Lyons & Batya Friedman, pp 26-28
One of the rare articles on Zappa issued in Soviet Union. Originally the article was published some months earlier in Option as "Frank's Wild Years". The article is translated by Sergej Kastalskij (Сергей Кастальский), a very well-known journalist, who wrote and compiled in Russian Rock Encyclopedia (Рок-энциклопедия), issued by Rovesnik in 1997, reissued in 2003.
Interesting, that this article is very often quoted in Russian sites and mostly is S.Kastalskij credited as author.
Frank Zappa picture on page 16. No other Zappa content included.
