1991

From 1991 to his untimely death in 1996 Kuryokhin was a member of the Committee for Culture and Tourism of St. Petersburg City. During that time Kuryokhin became one of the driving forces behind the successful effort in making St. Petersburg the cultural capital of Russia. His live performances attracted diverse public with a broader range of tastes and interests. Kuryokhin invented an impressive show-stopping move for the culmination of his live performances; after a virtuoso passage across the piano keyboard his hands would fly beyond the limits of the piano, then his whole body followed the flight and he would fall on the stage in front of the audience as if he was dead. Sergei Kuryokhin was the author of many creative initiatives in Russian music, film, television, and show-business. Kuryokhin also made news after a popular TV-show where he presented a media-virus that the founder of the Soviet Communist Party V. I. Lenin was actually not a human, but a mushroom.

1990

In the mid-1990s Sergei Kuryokhin suffered from an emotion breakdown and depression, after he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, cardiac sarcoma, which was incurable at that time and eventually caused a sudden heart arrest. At that time he was showing signs of a personality disorder, he became obsessed with ideas of chaos, totalitarianism and various mystical schools. Then he split-up with many old friends. His talent was drifting in a darker direction. Kuryokhin's imitation of his own death during his live performances was a premonition of his own death.

He took part in the international project "Wrap around the World", which was produced by Nam June Paik at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

1987

His notable live and studio recordings include over 30 albums such as "Introduction in Pop Mekhanika" (1987), "Popular Zoological Elements" (1987), "Popular Science" (1989), four albums with "Akvarium", "Spectre of Communism" (1992), "Iblivy Opossum" and his last studio recordings with Vladimir Volkov and saxophonist Keshavan Maslak (1996).

1984

In 1984 Kuryokhin launched his best known project: " Orkestr Pop-Mekhanika" (Popular Mechanics Orchestra). The show was staged at major arenas and concert halls in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Novosibirsk among other cities in Russia and abroad. The ever-changing project included musicians, bands and actors from Leningrad and Moscow, as well as from Europe, such as Vanessa Redgrave, "Akvarium" and Boris Grebenshchikov, "Kino" and Viktor Tsoy, "Igry", "Auktsion", Dzhungli", "Tri-O", Sergei Bugayev, even a Red Army Ensemble and many others. During "perestroika" under Mikhail Gorbachev, Kuryokhin was harshly attacked by the Communist Party ideologist Ligachev who called the Popular Mechanics show an "ideological and artistic jumble!"Kuryokhin's productions and group performances amalgamated music, theater, circus, ballet, cinema, erotic dances, live animals and birds, movable decorations, paintings and other visual arts in what could be described as Noah's Ark with Zappa and Warhol, all together in a Soviet-type underground happening show loaded with pranks and witty allusions. Kuryokhin called himself a "sound-manipulator" instead of a traditional music director, because he was improvising with moves of up to 460 people and animals on stage as if people were part of a giant live music notation. Some critics called his show a "total art" others called it a nonconformist parody of "proper" and "official" ceremonial shows. His ever-changing project was embracing performances by various musicians and actors, such as Vanessa Redgrave, Timur Novikov, Anatoliy Vapirov, Viktor Tarasov, Vladimir Chekasin Nikolai Gusev, Alexander Lyapin, Kino, Alisa, Valentina Ponomaryova, Vladimir Volkov, Kenny Millions, and many others.

That album also became a showcase of remarkable interplay between the imprisoned Anatoliy Vapirov, on the saxophone and a free man, Sergei Kuryokhin on the piano.
