Гарри Топор (Garri Topor)

Garri Topor, born Igor Alexandrov on January 10, 1989 in Saint Petersburg, is a Russian rapper who emerged from the country's underground battle-rap scene. He began releasing mixtapes in the late 2000s, and his breakthrough came with the 2011 mixtape «Эхо войны» (Echo of War), which established him as one of the most technically distinctive voices in Russian rap, known for dense wordplay, dark imagery, and theatrical delivery.

His reputation was cemented through repeated appearances on the Versus Battle platform, where he defeated several respected opponents in high-profile rap battles, becoming one of the format's most recognizable names. Musically, Topor draws on horrorcore and gothic aesthetics, blending grim storytelling with sharp technical rapping, setting him apart from more mainstream Russian hip-hop.

Over the 2010s and into the 2020s he built a substantial catalog of albums exploring death, identity, and dark fantasy themes, and partnered with fellow rapper Тони Раут on joint projects and one of the largest concert tours in Russian rap history in 2019. His work continues to influence the darker, more literary end of the Russian rap underground.
