Уважаемый

«Уважаемый» is a Moscow-based project whose name literally translates from Russian as “Respected.” In everyday slang, however, it often carries a subtly dismissive or ironic tone — commonly heard from taxi drivers, security guards, or officials when addressing someone they don’t really know. The project was born from the creative synergy of two notable figures in Russia’s underground music scene: Vitalii Zimin, known for «Макет» and Pivnoy Cowboy, and Pavel Samarin of «Музыка для грузовых лифтов». After releasing several singles and EPs, the project has evolved into Vitalii’s solo venture, continuing its distinctive artistic path.
