Alexander Bard: It’s time to Slavic culture to go liberal and democratic
This is Alexander Bard, founder and lead singer of the Swedish band Army of Lovers, which was extremely popular in Russia in the 90s. And these were perhaps the first gays who began to be shown on Russian television. But even if you didn’t catch the beginning of the 90s, you probably know such hits as Sexual Revolution, Crucified, Obsession, Israelism.
Without exaggeration, Bard can be called the father of the Russian sexual revolution. And back in 1993, he literally predicted the Russo-Ukrainian War in the song Carry My Urn to Ukraine.
But it was 30 years ago. Since then, Bard has managed to leave the music business and turned into one of the most famous and most scandalous Swedish philosophers.
We met with Alexander Bard in Berlin and talked about LGBT, Gayrope, the institution of marriage, the printing press and artificial intelligence, Putin, the atomic bomb and the future of Russia and Ukraine.
