I just got an odd thought.
What's your favorite musical band/group/singer from the former USSR?
To qualify, they have to actually have been performing as a group/singer since before the USSR colapsed.
So, who/what is it?

I really liked Those Krazy Kruschevs, at least until they got into their drugged out psych-folk stuff later in their careers. But who really liked that stuff, anyways?

Yes, believe it or not. They were the underground kind that it's hard to find.
Actually, technicly Nena (I believe that was her) counts since she was from East Germany.
Remember, 99 red ballons?
Anyway, I personally say Laibach. They were banned in 1983 in the USSR, where they lived. But still played.

Ummm...no. Nena was born in Hagen. In Nord Rhein Westfalen. British occupied zone.

Do I? Ha!!!

I thought Laibach were Slowenians.

Bruederchen, komm tanz mit mir
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
Beide Haende reich ich dir
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
Meine Freunde, tanz mit mir
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
Rundherum, das ist nicht schwer"
Damn it, you've got me humming "Tanz Mit Laibach" again...
They've held up well over the years, IMO.
They get my vote.
EDIT:
Ya know, it seems they're Slowenian...

Yea, they're Slovenian.
But the way I look at it, after listening to too much Laibach, is Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia, and Yugoslavia was communist, and a signatory to the Warsaw Pact, so I consider them a member of the USSR.

Yugoslavia was not part of the Warsaw pact. :p
They belonged to the block free nations.
