In the distant 1988, two soldiers of the urgent army of the Soviet Union Alexander Ivanov and Maxim Kochetkov embodied the idea of creating a punk group to life. Then two lovers in the rock of young people came up with the team called "New Arlequins and Voltizers".

A boy since childhood knew what total control is. Members of the KGB constantly observed behind the family, since the diplomatic relations of the head of the family assumed communication with foreigners. It is difficult to imagine that the son of such a weighty and serious person could get involved in rock. Plates of favorite groups Maxim had to hide in ventilation.

The following year, the Group became a member of the Moscow Rock Laboratory and officially declared himself on the scene. In addition to the "Naive", the stories of the "crematorium", "Brigades C", "Sounds Mu", which became the legends of the Russian rock were originated in the laboratory.

Alexander Chacha Ivanov for all years remained a permanent leader of the punk team. As a true king of protest against a respectable society, the musician experienced periods of close friendship with alcohol.
According to Ivanov's memoirs, at the time of turbulent life, he was often delayed by the police, and when representatives of law enforcement were asked about the name and surname of Hooligan, he answered Sasha, the truth sounded it was often like a chacha. So it was born that became a scenic nickname.

In the headland of the main rock ether of Russia on "our radio" "Naive" with enviable regularity turns out to be at the first sorties. The fate of the leader of the list of hits has suffered the composition "Superstar" from the album "Wholesale and Retail", released in 2000.
