Neschastny Sluchai (which translates to "Accident" from Russian) is a storied Russian rock band that has artfully weaved through the fabric of post-Soviet music culture. Formed in the late 1980s by a group of Moscow State University students, the band quickly gained popularity and acclaim for their poignant lyrics, distinctive voice, and satirical take on everyday life. The band's clever wordplay and narrative storytelling resonate with a wide audience, who find both humor and depth in their music.

Over the years, Neschastny Sluchai has proven their versatility and staying power in the dynamic Russian music scene. Despite lineup changes, the band has continued to produce a steady stream of music reflecting on various aspects of Russian society and individual experience. Their evocative lyrics and catchy melodies shine through in recent releases—such as the reflective "Мир во время чумы" (A World During the Plague) and the whimsically named "В городе Лжедмитрове" (In the City of Lies Dmitrov)—as well as the anthemic "Кранты" and the contemplative "Гоняясь за бизоном" (Chasing the Bison). Marking their place in music history, "Несчастный случай: 30 лет. Лучшее" celebrates three decades of their contribution to Russian music, solidifying their fame as cultural icons and storytellers of an era.
