Upcoming Pornofilmy Tour
Pornofilmy (‹See Tfd›Russian: Порнофи́льмы, lit. 'porn movies') is a Russian punk band from the city of Dubna[1] 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 poet Vladimir Kotlyarov, solo guitarist Vyacheslav Seleznev, 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 its highly politicized lyrics[2] and propaganda of healthy lifestyle. All members of the band are vegetarians and do not drink alcohol, use drugs or smoke.[3] The band was popular in Dubna in the early years of its existence, but after the release of its fourth album "In the Range Between Despair and Hope" and the cancellation of a number of concerts by local authorities,[4][5] it gained 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. The last studio album, "It Shall Pass" was released in January 2020. After 2022, the group relocated to Georgia.[6]
