Popular Russian singers: Alexey Chumakov 
Heartbreaking chanson is performed by popular Russian singer Denis Maidanov A rather popular group with Eva Polna at the head, immediately won the wide love of the public with their good arrangements and quickly riveted a lot of catchy hits that girls tearfully sang in almost all discos of the vast Motherland. Songs such as "Dislike", "Run from me" and, of course, "Love me in French" became integral compositions in the playlist of any self-respecting bachelorette party of the 90s and 2000s.
2. Disco Crash
Even the most inveterate rapper and the most hardened metal worker, no, no, and even remember the incendiary motives of this group, well, “Drink beer - eat meat” sounded from every iron at one time. Disco Crash, having gone through the death of one of the participants, actually created a lot of very good different songs about love and friendship and aram-zam-zam there too. Their work is crowned by “The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon” - known from the first chords and recognizable by absolutely everyone.
3. Ivanushki International
The epic boy band of our country, where the members of the group have already become practically grandfathers, still continues to sing songs about unhappy girlish love. In the turbulent nineties, there was Poplar Fluff, and Bullfinches, Clouds, Dolls - it was on these hits that the all-Russian popularity of one redhead and two non-redheads was won.
4. Lyceum
A cute girl group that changed soloists like gloves. Well, and whoever didn’t do this, you can remember, for example, such a crazy group as Strelki, where there were about 20 different girls on vocals and backup dancers, replacing each other regularly once a month. “Lyceum” against their background with the permanent Anastasia Makarevich was just a model of stability, and their “Autumn-autumn, the years have cooled down and shed their leaves” and “And I am a winter girl” have firmly and permanently ingrained in the brain of all our compatriots.
5. Mirage
The mastodons of this list, who started back in the USSR. A large number of squads and girls who grew up into independent stars such as Vetlitskaya, Ovsienko or Saltykova, who traveled around the country in the 90s and collected entire stadiums. It was they who massively brought electronic music to the country, and I still remember very well how my parents lit up under "Music connected us"
6. Hands Up
Another epic and most popular mega-project named after Sergey Zhukov. If the progressive youth listened already to the Western clubbing, then the Russian youth in the outback came off to the frantic rhythms of the Hands Up. “Ai-yay-yay girl”, “I’m already 18” and others, still rattles at all sorts of discos of the 90s and regularly gathers halls.
7.Tattoo
Our "European breakthrough", lesbian image and incredible drive, of course, did their job and "tattoo" became popular not only in Russia. At first everything went well, really strong albums and hits - "They won't catch up with us", and at concerts they were laid out every time like the last one. Then the rehashing of Western hits began, songs in English, and the Russian audience began to slowly leave, and with it, popularity also waned.
8. Technology
The Technologiya group at one time claimed the laurels of the most advanced electronic disco group in young democratic Russia. Copying the then insanely popular Depeche Mode, the group with their hit "Press the button - you get the result", managed to break through to fame and popularity and gathered at the Luzhniki arena, which at that time were rented to anyone and anything, a record 70 thousand Man, those were the times.
9.On-on
Perhaps the first sane boy band brought to our country four smiling guys who sang cute, meaningless songs about “Hat Fell, Fell to the Floor” and gained immense popularity among young and not so girls. They say that the group is still alive, and this is almost 20 years old, and still performs on tour somewhere abroad.
10. Inveterate scammers
Reckless and hooligan recitatives from Amoralov and the company, of course, remember all the "clear boys" of that time. The first bright hoodies, saggy pants and glasses of unimaginable shapes, as well as uncomplicated texts about how to glue a girl, don’t worry and score on studies and ancestors, of course, found their way into the minds of young people after the direct, like a stick, doctrines of the Soviet Union. Such was the time - every innovation was accepted with a bang, and each, even the weakest and most obscure of their albums, had some success.
