Mashina Vremeni, which translates to "Time Machine" in English, is a celebrated Russian rock band that has withstood the test of time, becoming one of the most enduring symbols of Russian rock music. Founded in 1969 in Moscow by Andrey Makarevich, who also acts as the band's lead vocalist and primary songwriter, the band has gone through various line-up changes but has consistently remained at the forefront of Russian rock and pop culture.

With its roots in blues, rock-and-roll and folk music, Mashina Vremeni became notorious for its intelligent lyrics and nuanced social commentary, often navigating the fine line of what was permissible in the Soviet Union at that time. Over the years, the band's style evolved to incorporate elements of hard rock, progressive rock, and new wave. However, the introspective and philosophical nature of their lyrics has consistently attracted loyal fans. Their discography includes hits like "Маленький Принц" (The Little Prince) and "Крысы" (Rats), reflecting their continued commitment to producing resonant music that speaks to generations of listeners. Celebrating over five decades in the industry, with albums such as "50" and the live recording "50 лет" (50 Years), Mashina Vremeni's influence spans across musical epochs, with an enduring legacy as one of the pioneers of Russian rock.
