The club Moloko

As Mr. Mamedov has already correctly written here, the first club in the city of Moscow was Moloko! But personally, even before Moloko, and even for some time while Moloko was operating, I really liked a place near the Tekstilshchiki metro station called Chaynik. Does anyone remember it? A pretty decent DJ worked there. A lot of breakers and simply advanced characters came by. True, it gradually turned into a chav joint and fizzled out! So everyone rode over to the club at the VLKSM Committee of the MIREA institute under the code name Moloko (by the way, this name is absolutely unofficial). And DJ Dan (who back then could have thought he'd become a DJ) can tell you a lot about the place — unlike Mamedov, he was a genuinely advanced breaker and really did get let in without queuing! Admission cost two roubles, but no one paid their own money — many bummed 20 kopecks apiece at the entrance. A lot of Chechen wrestlers also went there (after all, the club was located in the Olympic Village, and the Chechens back then controlled half of the black-market traders in Moscow, who liked to hang out at Moloko precisely), but Moloko was, perhaps, the only place in the city where the gangsters didn't hassle the fashionable kids (breakers, for example). In short, the most fashionable and advanced kids, and the prettiest girls, gathered back then in the South-West. And yet there was also a magnificent place at the club of the Dukat factory! Maybe someone will write about it? I myself was there five or six times.
