Born and raised in St. Petersburg (former Leningrad), the city which in the 80s was to become the center of the national rock culture, Lenia started his musical activity in the late 70s, playing in amateur rock groups. In 1983 he founded a rock band of his own, which was given the name of Auktyon (see also here). From the very beginning Lenia assumed the role of the main composer and musical director of Auktyon; later he also took up leading vocals, thus becoming the band’s leader, responsible for the band’s musical image, who, however, always preferred to remain out of focus of public attention onstage. Auktyon’s breakthrough coincided with the times of “perestroika”, when the rock music in Russia got an unprecedented opportunity to be brought out to big audiences nationwide. In a short while, Auktyon gained the reputation of one of the most interesting Russian rock acts with the most unique and original sound and style. Apart from the band’s other advantages, it owed a great part of its success to Lenia’s extraordinary musical talent. By 1989 in Russia Auktyon was a hit big enough to receive an invitation to France, where they, along with two other Russian top rank acts, Zvuki Mu and Kino, performed as the representatives of the national rock culture in the West, and got a chance of releasing their first ever record in CD format. When the bright prospects of “perestroika” ended up in overall worsening of economic conditions in Russia, bands like Auktyon, who wanted to retain their independent artistic status, were forced to find new ways of remaining afloat.
