History
In 1990, there was a meeting of three friends: composer and musician Vladimir Kyzilov, guitarist Sergei Gorbatov and sound engineer Vladimir Malgin. Soon they decided to create their own musical project. During the August 1991 putsch, the musicians played the song Hammer and Sickle. In January 1992, the project became a studio.
Soloist Anya Baranova joined the group in 1993 with the song "Janitor Vasily". Subsequently, she sang together with Elena Dubrovskaya, her voice can be heard in the song "Barynya No. 2", she worked on recording samples until the day when a fire broke out at the Nika studio. Later, she began to collaborate with Alexander Aivazov.
Soloist Elena Dubrovskaya joined the group in 1993 with the song Jump and became a backing vocalist. After the fire that occurred at the Nika studio, her solo work Russian Album was published. The disc also included the song "Candles", which had a certain popularity. Elena Dubrovskaya, before appearing on the team, performed in the city of Ivanovo in a children's ensemble called "A + B".
