Then came Perestroika and lots of new interesting projects. Kirill worked as correspondent and live-show DJ on the leading russian youth radio. In the end of 90s he became a part of Nostalgie-France Moscow base. When News Corporation bought Nostalgie Russia in 2000 to create first russian alternative radio “Ultra 105,1 FM” Kirill added position of musical director to his  impressive resume. It meant more music, more involving with rock stars, more studio live shows, music festivals, and open-airs. Needless to say he faced new challenges and marked the end of boring and ordinary format.
