Purulent, or as it is customary to call it Glory to the CPSU, is the creative pseudonym of the performer, behind which the modest name of Vyacheslav Mashnov is hidden.
Today, having Purulent is associated by many with a rap and grime artist and a follower of punk culture.
Moreover, Slava CPSU is the organizer and leader of the Anti-Hype Renaissance youth movement, known under the pseudonyms Sonya Marmeladova, Kirill Ovsyankin, Buter Brodsky, Valentin Dyadka.
Glory to the CPSU is a breath of fresh air in Russian rap. A rich vocabulary, an individual style of presenting texts and a manner of reading - this is what helped Purulent to stand out from the rest of the rappers.
Childhood and youth of Vyacheslav Mashnov
Vyacheslav Mashnov is from Khabarovsk. He was born in 1990. In addition to him, the eldest daughter Daria was brought up in the family. Slava recalls that at an early age his main passion was drawing.
Later, together with friends, he created congratulatory videos, which he then sold for a modest amount as a “living postcard”.
A little later, Vyacheslav became interested in selling CDs with literature on psychology. A team of connoisseurs and young entrepreneurs, was engaged in the development of texts on psychology, which enjoyed no small success among buyers.
Vyacheslav Mashnov did not sit on the bench during his school years. He was especially good at the humanities. In particular, the favorite subjects of the future rap star were the lessons of Russian and foreign literature.
Reading allowed to significantly expand the vocabulary of a young man.
In 2007, Mashnov became a student at the Khobarovsk Institute of Infocommunications, Faculty of IT Technologies. But here Slava was not so simple. He practically did not attend lectures, often ended up in the police station, and generally led a wild life.
Until 2012, Slava KPSS was fond of punk. The young man took part in many "black" movements.
In the same 2012, Vyacheslav got acquainted with the work of the Buchenwald Flava musical group, where Sasha Skula read.
Vyacheslav was so fascinated by music that he himself began to write and rap.
The beginning of Purulent's creative career
Purulent's first musical creations were of an aggressive nature. Literally in every sentence of songs, Purulent slipped profanity. The psychology of nihilism and anarchism has been preserved in the rapper's work since the time of his passion for punk.
To promote himself as a rap artist, Vyacheslav spent almost all the money he earned on his PR.
During that period of time, he worked for a company specializing in providing the population with cellular communications.
After receiving a diploma of higher education, Mashnov gets a job in a water park.
Creative career of Slava CPSU
Slava KPSS presented his first album in 2013. The debut album included only 4 tracks. We are talking about the musical compositions "Pih-pokh", "Kanaplya", "I love you" and "The old image".
Soon there will be six more songs on the joint disc "Bank of indigestion" by Glory of the CPSU and Smesharique.
In the same year, Vyacheslav takes the pseudonym Purulent. The rapper says that the creative pseudonym reflects his inner state.
Purulent becomes a participant in the Slovo battle, which takes place on the territory of St. Petersburg. On set, the singer is confronted by Booker D. Fred, Egoist, NikiTikiTavi, Zaebatsu, and Chain. Interestingly, Purulent defeated each of them.
The mascot of the Russian rapper is a brown jacket, which he does not take off during performances. With his explosive reading, Vyacheslav does not give his opponents not a single chance to win.
On the Slovo project, the rapper shows his leadership qualities. He is number one, and he is ready to prove it with his reading.
And another new album
In 2014, Purulent replenishes his discography with another album. We are talking about the second record of the rapper, which was called "Foliage in an empty pool."
This album contains 9 tracks. Three tracks are recorded in duets - “In the Yards” feat Sebastian Kadar, “Corros the Decay” together with Bifidogostok and “At the Bus Stop” feat Smesharik
In 2015, Purulent presents a video clip for the musical composition "Sit Out" and the new composition "#SlovoSPB" feat Cheney.
In addition, Vyacheslav records several remixes of songs by other Russian rappers. In particular, the video for Pharaoh's song "Black Siemens" received a large number of views.
In 2015, Vyacheslav launches the provocative and aggressive EP “My Jews” on the network, which consists of the songs “My friend reads Russian grime”, “Yeti and animals”, “Oxy knows everything”.
Despite the fact that he replenishes his musical piggy bank with new tracks, Vyacheslav continues to take part in battles. The top battle was the release of Purulent against JasseJames in a 2v2 team competition.
Vyacheslav gained popularity, and became a kind of real Gladiator who destroys his opponents with a strong word.
Taking advantage of the moment, he becomes the founder of the offline platform "League of Purulent", the battles of which he shoots with an amateur camera and uploads on the YouTube channel. Battles take place right on the street. Vyacheslav personally broadcasts, and sometimes becomes a participant in a “verbal duel”.
Nicknames of the rapper Purulent
Vyacheslav has several creative pseudonyms. The rapper says that each of his "heroes" has its own individual character.
For example, the pseudonym Sonya Marmeladova, Vyacheslav uses when it comes to grime tracks.
Valentin Dyadka is used by the rapper when he creates satirical songs.
The pseudonym Buter Brodsky Vyacheslav uses when he reads about the difficult Russian fate.
Purulent's personal life
Vyacheslav's personal life is another mystery that needs to be solved. Some time ago, the rapper's name was associated with some Oksana Mironova.
But, later it turned out that under the name of Oksana Mironova, Slava meant his rival in battles - Oksimiron.
The pseudonym of the freestyle performer Miron Fedorov (Oksimiron), who graduated from Oxford University, was used as a joke about the secrecy of Glory of the CPSU.
Purulent does not deny that in relation to the fairer sex, he really is rude. Perhaps it is precisely with this that the heart of Vyacheslav is free.
Scandals involving the artist
In 2016, Slava put it ugly in relation to Chechen women. To which the rapper received a rather angry and even threatening response from Ichkeria, Khalid Gelayev.
A native of Chechnya called on Vyacheslav to publicly apologize for his words. Purulent deleted the comment and apologized for his offensive words.
Purulent has two whole pages on Instagram. One of the pages is closed, and the other is open for public access.
In addition, the rapper has a page on Twitter, where the young man is signed as "Unsuck Production". It is on Twitter that you can find out about the latest news from the life of a rapper.
The rapper frankly does not like young people who are trying to match the latest fashion trends.
In particular, he does not share his love for tattoos and has a negative attitude towards well-known brands.
In the rapper's musical compositions, hatred for glamorous girls and guys is felt.
Purulent (Glory to the CPSU) now
In 2017, Vyacheslav, under his creative pseudonym Valentina Dyadka, presented to fans of his work a cover version of rapper Jubilee, a battle rival, Young Beatles - Young Beatles.
The opponent did not take long to wait, so he soon gave an answer in the form of the musical composition "Clown". In response, Vyacheslav accused his rival of LGBT propaganda, and released a couple of disses on him.
The opponent finished this verbal-musical competition with the track "Requiem".
In the same 2017, two albums "Tea for Two" feat Aux and "Mosquito-Parisian" were released. The second disc is literally full of foul language, and in the musical composition "New Rothschild" Purulent generally blasphemes, calling himself God.
Battle: Miron Fedorov VS Purulent
In August 2017, one of the most long-awaited "competitions" between Miron Fedorov and Slava CPSU took place. The tournament was broadcast on YouTube video hosting.
In one day, the guys scored more than 10 million views. And that says a lot. The efforts of the rappers were evaluated by judges, including Dmitry Egorov (Versus Battle), Lokos (SLOVOSPB), DJ 4EU3, Evgeny Bazhenov and Ruslan Bely.
With a large margin, the victory went to Purulent.
Oksimiron commented on his defeat as follows: “There was a lot of romanticism and lyrics in my text. But Purulent did not stint on obscene language, barbs and insults. And as you know, the judges of the project love dirt.
But, one way or another, the victory went to Purulent. Interestingly, at the moment this is one of the most viewed battles. The number of views has long exceeded 50 million.
Glory to the CPSU continues to battle. Each release with the participation of the rapper is a real show.
In addition, Purulent appeared on the project of Yuri Dudya and Ksenia Sobchak. In the video program, he shared his views on creativity, spoke about his childhood and youth. It turned out interesting.
On stage, he looked just fine - Mikhail, as always, looks very fresh and invigorating, and is in excellent physical shape.
Purulent today
In November 2020, the discography of the provocative Glory of the CPSU was replenished with a new LP. The record was called "The monster that destroyed the world." The compositions included in the album are saturated with depression and pain. Glory turned inside out. Many say that this is the last longplay of the rapper. Note that the collection was headed by 16 tracks.
Many music critics have said that "The Beast That Ruined the World" is the rapper's strongest album. The singer recently confirmed that he is quitting rap. We quote:
“I want to develop, so yes, I confirm that I am leaving this field. I want to release records from all my characters, so that they all say goodbye to their loyal fans ... ".
Glory to the CPSU in 2021
In March 2021, the rapper's new album premiered. The record was called Lil Buter. The compilation was topped by 5 tracks. Recall that this is the first release of the singer after his arrest. This is an ideal return to the stage of his Alter ego - Buter Brodsky.
