Boris Grebenschikov's poetry book to be available in Armenian starting Oct. 31

On October 31, Bureaucrat bookstore will host a presentation of Armenian-language book of poetry authored by Boris Grebenschikov, the frontman of legendary Aquarium rock band.

As the musician told a news conference in Yerevan, translation of his verse into Armenian came as a great surprise to him.

The translation was done through assistance of the Armenian community of St. Petersburg.

''Presentation of Grebenschikov's book and Aquarium concert in Yerevan is our long-planned present to Armenia,'' the head of St. Petersburg's Armenian community Karen Mkrtchyan said.

On October 31, Boris Grebenschikov and Aquarium band will complete their Krasnaya Reka tour with a concert in Yerevan. The concert is timed to the 300th anniversary of St. Peterburg's Armenian community.
