It seems the internet block is just the beginning: Melodiya has resumed vinyl record production.
The oldest record company has launched record production at its own plant in NovosibirskThe company attributes this to growing demand.
Of course, one would like to believe that Russia is integrating into the global trend, and Melodiya has simply found an old new niche: after all, Russian artists, by the way, are forced to record vinyl abroad.
And of course, I don't want to believe that Melodiya knows any more about the authorities' plans to roll back the clock. And that the final stop on this route is a gramophone.
