History Trivia / Drudkh

* GenreAdultery: ''Songs of Grief and Solitude'' is an acoustic folk album with no vocals or traces of metal.

* OldShame: The band members appear to regard their earlier flirtation with authoritarian ideologies as Hate Forest as this. This is also rumoured to be the primary reason Hate Forest disbanded, with only reuniting for a show in 2019 (with only Roman). Although this can be somewhat considered moot since Roman resurrected Hate Forest much afterwards.

* RealitySubtext: The gatefold of ''They Often See Dreams About the Spring'' has a tribute to a group of martyred Ukrainian artists and writers collectively referred to as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executed_Renaissance Executed Renaissance]], who were murdered in Stalin's purges. The gatefold also refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandarmokh Sandarmokh]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherkasy#20th_century_(Soviet_era) Cherkasy]], sites of two of the purges, and also contains the photo of the Krushelnytsky family that currently graces [[https://bit.ly/2OcqtYh Ukrainian Wikipedia's article on Executed Reniassance]]. Given the present-day conflict over the Crimean peninsula, this can be read as a rare political statement from Drudkh, suggesting that they would very much prefer to maintain Ukraine's independence from Russia, thank you very much.
