Pornofilmy

Pornofilmy (Russian: Порнофи́льмы, lit. 'porn movies') is a Russian punk band from the city of Dubna and one of the most popular existing rock bands in Russia. It was founded in 2008. The members of the band include lead vocalist and lyricist Vladimir Kotlyarov, solo guitarist Igor Rybin, rhythm guitarist and band manager Alexander Rusakov, drummer Kirill Muravyev, and bassist Alexander Agafonov.

The band stands out from other Russian punk-rock bands for their highly politicized lyrics and promotion of healthy living. All members of the band are vegetarians, and do not drink alcohol, use drugs, or smoke. The band initially gained popularity in Dubna, but after the release of their fourth album and the cancellation of a number of concerts by local authorities, they reached national fame and became one of the leading performers of rock music in Russia. Currently, Pornofilmy has 13 releases, including 8 studio albums and 5 mini-albums. Their latest studio album, "It Shall Pass", was released in January 2020. In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the group relocated to Georgia.
