Interesting Facts
In 2021, in an interview with the online publication “Everything.kz,” Alexander Chatsky spoke about his conscious beliefs. According to the rapper, people never change, they just adapt to the situation. The singer is sure that “people grab everything, the main thing is to teach it skillfully.” And in order to win, you need to “adjust the rules of the game to suit yourself.”
Alexander Chatsky's favorite pastime is writing poetry. From writing poems, the poet gets “not an ordinary everyday orgasm, but a cosmic one.” Alexander enjoys the sound of the saxophone and the speech of a 4-6 year old child.
Brief description of the plot
The title of the play, “Woe from Wit,” reflects the essence of the work. The main character, Alexander Andreevich Chatsky, experiences difficulties in society because of his sanity. The social circle rejects him because he is not afraid to speak out.
How can one characterize a society in which a person of mediocre intelligence is more valued than one who is not afraid to appear wise? In the conversations of the conservative nobility, each considers himself more literate than the other. But all their communication is based on the search for material gain. Chatsky is presented in such a society as a madman, because he does not pursue high-ranking officials and money. He feels uncomfortable around people who consider him narrow-minded.
To understand the views of the main character, you need to adapt to the standards of modern society, and for the conservative nobility this is inconvenient. It is much easier to call Chatsky crazy than to celebrate his merits.
The play develops love and social conflicts. Because of his feelings for Sophia, Chatsky comes to the Famusovs’ house three years later. However, the girl had already lost interest in him. She is more concerned about intrigues with Molchalin, her father's personal secretary.
Reflections on why his beloved was ignoring him prompted Chatsky to communicate with the rest of the Famusov house. During his conversations, a social conflict gradually develops. In it, conservative nobles and progressive ones collide.
Chatsky’s views differ from the established order of representatives of the “past century.” His thoughts frighten members of the Famus Society, which is why rumors about the protagonist’s madness spread so quickly. At this moment, two conflicts intersect: it is Sophia, Chatsky’s beloved, who spreads gossip about him. She believes that the hero interferes with her path to true happiness.
Project "Vspak" and popularity
In 2014, two friends, Alexander and Ilya, decided to create a group called “Vspak” and perform songs in the hop-hop style. The name of the group was not chosen by chance, because the forgotten word “vspak” by many is a synonym for “inside out”, “inverted”. The guys decided to use music to tell listeners what was in their hearts. Alexander Chatsky wrote poetry. Ilya Kirillov was involved in creating beats and mixing tracks. The guys performed musical rap compositions together.
Each song is based on the personal experiences of the author (Alexander Chatsky). Rap fans immediately noticed the new group and called it depressive. After all, the repertoire of “Vspak” consisted mainly of sad songs talking about the problems of adolescence.
In 2021, the guys only dreamed of touring with concerts throughout Russia, visiting St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Perm, Novosibirsk. The creators of the group never thought that they would become popular, they simply wrote songs. Sasha considered Vspak his hobby. In 2021, Chatsky was not sure that his project would last long.
5 years later. In 2021, Sasha still performs rap under the “Vspak” brand. True, at present this is no longer a group. Sasha is a solo artist under the pseudonym Vspak. The rapper's songs can be listened to on his channel on YouTube, VKontakte, as well as on various Internet platforms. The singer often tours Russia and the CIS, singing at various events and parties.
Biography of music artist Vspak
The rapper Alexander, whose last name is Chatsky, performs under this stage name. The executor's name is the same as on the birth certificate. The surname Chatsky may not be real. The rapper could have taken a pseudonym so that fans would associate him with the hero of Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit.”
The performer Vspak comes from the Russian outback. Alexander was born in the second half of the 90s. The artist does not like to provide exact information about himself. In 2014, Sasha, together with his friend Ilya Kirillov, decided to create a group. The guys have known each other since 2012. At first (in April 2014) the group was called “6/7”. A few months later it was renamed “VSB” (“Broadcasters of Bomoin Fairy Tales”). In August 2014, the guys came up with the idea to name the group “Vspak”.
Sasha and Ilya studied the style of rap, learned how to create beats and mix tracks. Chatsky liked hip-hop, because even a person without a voice could perform songs in this genre. In an interview with CINYAK POD GLAZOM (2015), Chatsky said: “I never thought at all that you could sing with my voice.”
The guys' songs touched the hearts of thousands of fans of lyrical rap. In 2017, “Vspak” already toured Russia and the CIS countries. Alexander became a popular rapper and often gave interviews, in one of which he said that he positions himself “as a tired guy from the Moscow region” and is a “pornographic reflection of the 21st century.”
Currently (June 2021) Vspak continues to perform. Now this group name is associated with one Alexander. In April 2021, the rapper released a new album, “Alternative.”
