Abramov got his start singing and playing guitar for the band Music/{{PopCorn}} from 2009 to 2016. After leaving the band, he started performing as a one-man heavy metal tribute act, recording Russian-language {{cover|Version}}s of mainly Western rock and metal songs, and releasing them through streaming services and his [[https://www.youtube.com/c/RADIOTAPOK YouTube channel]]. He gained a decent following in Russia but was virtually unknown outside of it...

* DeathByMaterialism: In "Yermak" the titular Cossack ataman fails to take off his golden (actually more like glided) chain mail before trying to escape an ambush by swimming across a river, and drowns. Downplayed, as ItWasAGift personally from the Tsar. Overlaps with DeathByIrony, since a point is made how good the armor is, said to be impervious to swords.



* SelfImmolation: Искупление Огнем (Redemption by Fire) is about Russian [[UsefulNotes/OrthodoxChristianity Starovery]] who committed mass suicide in this fashion while facing religious persecution.

Added DiffLines:

* WorthyOpponent: The Swedish Empire and personally UsefulNotes/CarolusRex are described in flattering terms, such as "The Last Viking" in "Peter's Guard", and "Unbreakable warriors of the brave Carl" in "Gangut". At the end of the latter song, Russians pay respect to their opponents, in lines "The felled foe fought worthily / The fleet shall lower the St. Andrew's flag [Navy ensign]".

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: "Tapok" is Russian for "slipper", meaning that Oleg's StageName is basically SelfDeprecation about the fact he's making metal songs without getting out of his pajamas (because he's a Website/YouTube-based artist).
