Abstract: The paper treats the correspondence of Russian rock music and the peculiarities of religiosity in the late Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia. Russian rock music history is divided into several periods: the earliest period when rock music just came to the Soviet Union and mostly copied Western prototypes; the music of the perestroika period where religious motives were among the central and reflected spiritual and religious search typical for the country of that time; and Post-Soviet rock music which showed more and more interest in Orthodoxy often mixing it with identity search and nationalism. (CORRECTED VERSION)
