About 'Rechniki'.
The name 'Rechniki' first appeared in 1988 in a small group of teenage boys from Leningrad. In the same year, the 'Rechniki Club' was established, uniting several squats and workshops. Thanks to a series of exhibitions at the New Academy of Fine Arts, the Marble Palace, squats, parties, poetry evenings, and other actions carried out by the group and dubbed by critics as 'chaotic activity,' as well as due to the diverse interests and friendly connections of club members, the group gained a certain level of fame. The club promoted and developed youth music culture, facilitating the realization of the first major techno and house events in Leningrad and Moscow. The 'Rechniki' are known for various activities: the creation of MessMedia in 1993 - an independent information agency, the presentation of V. Sorokin's novel 'Roman' in 1994, participation in exhibitions, opening a cybercafe in the 'Port' club, organizing pyrotechnic shows at various youth events, and the first open-air events in St. Petersburg ('Illegal Picnic' in 1997, 'Air Fire' in Strelna in 1998, 'Sunny' and others).

The summer cafe 'Rechniki like in the Canaries' is located on the quay in Neskuchny Garden - a new place of power in Moscow with a pool, shower cabins, sun loungers, Wi-Fi, a grill kitchen, a well-thought-out drinks menu, and everything else needed for a pleasant rest. The establishment has big plans for the future, about which much cannot be said at the moment, and little is better left unsaid. You will soon learn everything.
