The receach explores the phenomenon of the Leningrad art group group “New Artists” (“Novye hudozhniki”). The purpose of the work is to show the reasons for the formation and development of the art-group "New Artists" in the period 1982-1987, as well as to show the features of their interaction. This paper is based on sources: memories of the participants of the art group (personal notes, lectures). These types of sources were chosen as the main sources because they are sources that contain information about the underground activities, ideas of the “New Artists” and representation of their life in the system from within. Also, the periodicals did not cover the life of an unofficial culture. Expected results: to find out the principles of interaction of the "New Artists" in the realities of the Soviet regime
