Laskovyi Mai (
Russian: Ласковый май,
lit. 'Tender May') is a
Sovietboy band from
Orenburg founded by Russian songwriter, composer and musician
Sergei Kuznetsov. The group's best-known member was
Yuri Shatunov, who subsequently went on to some solo success. The group disbanded in 1992. Laskovyi Mai once had been called "the legends of the 80–90s".[1]
Career
Laskovyi Mai was formed in the middle of the 1980s when Sergei Kuznetsov decided to create a group of musicians with orphan children from an orphanage in
Orenburg.[2]
In November 2022,
Sergey Malinkovich, the Chairman of the
Communists of Russia political party, accused musician
Andrey Razin of treason for selling the rights to the songs of Laskovyi Mai to an American company.[3]
