Poushie Gitary, a rock band from the Russian Federation, was founded in 1966 in Petersburg by Vladimir Vasilyev and Evgeny Bronevitsky. The group initially drew inspiration from Western bands like The Beatles and played a style similar to Hungary's Illés and Poland's Czerwone Gitary. Poushie Gitary gained significant popularity in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe with albums like Синий иней (2002) and Поющие гитары (2008). The band's career spanned nearly 60 years, earning them the nickname "The Soviet Beatles."
