Круиз (Kruiz in cyrillic alphabet) with shared band members. The first Круиз was formed in 1978 as a rock band - members included Valeri Gaina, Alexander Monin (vocals) and Alexander Kirnitsky (bass). Under government pressure, they broke up in 1984, and then reformed without Monin - Valeri Gaina took over the vocals.
In 1985, they broke up AGAIN, and Gaina formed a new band, also called Круиз with Efimov and Vasiliev! (For something similar, but not quite as bizarre, see Judas Priest… bear in mind that in 1985, Круиз was an established USSR rock group!). The new band plays speed metal, including a demo of The Last Dawn played at a mind-numbing 318 bpm (the official studio version is a mere 280), but also some of the songs of the old Круиз - most notably, ``Don’t Lose Your Head`` live at Rock-Panorama ‘86.
This lineup tours West Germany, releases an English-language album, and then breaks up in 1990 when Valeri Gaina moves to Israel through Italian consulate then immigrate to to Los Angeles.
In steps Monin, reforming the band in 1991 with some of the old lineup! They plug away playing their AOR, even opening up for Dio in 1998 in Moscow at one point.Monin and Gaina play one date at the stadium and then broke up
