Perhaps, the first one. It's rock of decent quality, with, as it usually happens in Russian rock, an important emphasis on lyrics that are in Russian of course. Musically, as an expert music fan, you may probably find there western influences if not direct plagiarism. Anyway, Russian rock is mostly about the lyrical side of art.

Americans, and I have nothing against it, tend to live in their own world, on their own planet. It is understandable as they have many achievements including the material, financial, commercial ones. 

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union, and now Russia and other former Soviet republics, also used to live in their own world, on their own planet. For good example, Americans used to expect everybody in the world should speak or understand English. The same in Russia, where many people used to think everybody around should understand if not speak Russian. Oh, and Russians also think they are the Third Rome. 

However, it is obvious that, for the most part, the USSR and then Russia itself almost always took the western shapes, copied western skeletons to fill them with native body organs. Russian rock has never been about music, it has always been about the stage performance, the lyrics and the protest. 

As far as I can see, this legendary late Soviet song by the band Aquarium is not unique musically, it's at least inspired by Bob Dylan. But that was a protest song, and its lyrics meant a lot to those times' people of the land: 

Train On Fire

10 years ago I tried to collect all possible Soviet music hits - the list consisted of at least 830 songs, and I was bored and so left the work incomplete. 

Here's the song Three Chords with translation in English by the Soviet/Russian band Dyeti (Children). The name tells it all - although the translation is not 100% correct.
