Televizor

Televizor (Russian: Телевизор) is a Soviet/Russian gothic rock/industrial group formed in 1984 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia by Mikhail Borzikin. They began to perform at the Leningrad Rock Club and are noted for their strong views against authoritarianism in Russian politics and have repeatedly denounced the actions of Russian president Vladimir Putin in their lyrics. At the time the group first formed, it was one of the comparatively few political rock bands in the Soviet Union.
