1989, they went on tour with the band Alisa, performing at a rock festival in Hungary. In 1990, DDT performed several concerts in the U.S. and Japan. Also in 1990 DDT released Ottepel (Thaw), which presented the band's first concert from St. Petersburg. They also participated in a Viktor Tsoi tribute concert, after the renowned singer-songwriter died in a car accident on August 15, 1990. After the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, DDT attracted an even greater following both at home and abroad, as their albums and concerts began to be broadcast and publicized more widely. In 1991, DDT recorded another album, the stark and keyboard-heavy Plastun (A crawling soldier, originally the name of Cossack infantrymen), but after many months of work Shevchuk decided to shelve it and the album was not released until 1995, four years later. In 1992 DDT released the album Aktrisa Vesna (Spring the Actress). This lyrical album, which was dedicated to Shevchuk's deceased wife, Elmira, met with great success. It contained some of the band's greatest hits, include "Shto takoe osen'" (What is autumn), "Dozhd'" (Rain), and "Rodina" (Motherland). After releasing the album, the band toured extensively. Soon afterwards the group began to change their sound and performance strategy by adding "programmes" - conceptually prepared concerts - to its repertoire. During December 1992 and January 1993, DDT presented its first program, Chyorny Pyos Peterburg (Black Mongrel Petersburg), and toured widely in CIS countries. On May 27, 1993, on the anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg, DDT performed a free concert in Dvortsovaya Square. 120,000 people attended. In the beginning of 1994, a new album, Eto vsyo… (That's all…), was recorded. The musicians had planned to make a double album, however, because of challenging deadlines and the instability of the lineup, a significant amount of early musical material and recordings did not make it into the final version. Years later, these songs would be included in the band's Rozhdyonny v SSSR (Born in the USSR) album. During the summer of 1994, DDT took part in the rock festival White Nights of St. Petersburg in Berlin. That autumn, the group was awarded the prestigious Ovatsiya award (Ovation) for Best Rock Group of the Year. Yuri Shevchuk was also named Best Rock Musician of the Year. In January 1995, during First Chechen War, Shevchuk went on a peace mission to Chechnya, where he performed 50 concerts for
