Televizor (Russian: Телевизор) is a Soviet/Russian gothic rock/industrial group formed in 1984[1] in Saint-Petersburg. Leader and founder of group — Mikhail Borzykin. They began to perform at the Leningrad Rock Club.[2] They are noted for their strong views against authoritarianism in Russian politics, and have repeatedly denounced the actions of Vladimir Putin in their lyrics.[3] At the time the group first formed, it was one of comparatively few political rock bands in Soviet Union.[4]

Mikhail's songs and the Televizor music are influenced by Talking Heads,[5] The Cure,[5][6][7] Cocteau Twins,[5][6] The Beatles, Depeche Mode,[5][8] The Smiths,[5] philosophers Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as writers: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky,[4] Mikhail Bulgakov[9] and Hermann Hesse.[9][10]
