Агата Кристи

Soviet and Russian rock band, one of the most popular in the country in the mid and second half of the 1990s. Founded in 1985 in Sverdlovsk by Vadim Samoylov, Alexander Kozlov, and Pyotr May under the name VIA RTF UPI; officially, the band's history counts from the concert on February 20, 1988. During the recording of the album "Vtoroy Front" at the beginning of that year, Vadim's younger brother Gleb joined the band. Subsequently, the band's lineup changed repeatedly, but its leaders and vocalists remained invariably the Samoylov brothers. They, along with Alexander Kozlov, are the authors of all Agatha Christie songs. The most well-known songs of the band include compositions such as "Viva Kalman!", "Kak na voyne", "Isterika", "Opium dlya nikogo", "Skazochnaya tayga", "Chornaya luna", "Moryak", "Kovyor-vertolet", and "Sekret".
