Mashina Vremeni (Russian for "Time Machine") is a Soviet/Russian blues rock band. One of the earliest Russian rock bands, it remains active for over 50 years. It was formed in the late 1960s in Moscow by Andrey Makarevich and Alexander Kutikov, later joined by Evgeny Margulis. While originally inspired by The Beatles and soviet bards (singer-songwriters), the band eventually developed towards a more straight-ahead blues rock sound. Despite the long history, Mashina released no official albums before 1983, because of the state censorship.
