Popular Mechanics (also known as the Pop Mechanics) (Russian: «Поп-механика», «Популярная механика», romanized: Pop-mekhanika, Populyarnaya mekhanika) was a Soviet / Russian musical collective founded by Sergey Kuryokhin in 1984. The line-up of Pop-Mechanics often changed; musicians from rock groups such as Aquarium, Kino, Strannye Igry, AVIA, and Auktyon took part in its performances. Pop-Mechanics ceased to exist with Kuryokhin's death in 1996. Some of its members including Natalya Pivovarova later formed Kolibri.
