In different forms and under different names, the group exists approximately since 1978, however, its current name, Auktyon received only in May of 1983, when it was granted a membership in the Leningrad Rock Club, and its present appearance, style, and core musicians were formed in spring of 1986, when the group was triumphant on the stage of the 4th Leningrad Rock Club Festival in the following line up: Leonid Fedorov (guitar, vocal), Oleg Garkusha (dance, vocal), Sergei Rogozhin (vocal), Victor Bondarik (bass), Dmitriy Ozerskiy (keyboards, vocal), Nikolai Rubanov (saxophone, flutes), Nikolai Fedorovich (saxophone), and Igor Cheridnik (drums). In one year, Auktyon was repeatedly successful in the 5th festival, after which Sergei Rogozhin left the group for the pop-band FORUM, while the percussionist Pavel Litvinov strengthened the rhythm section. The second guitarist - Dmitriy Matkovksiy from the cult band of the early 80's MANUFAKTURA - joined Auktyon that fall. During that period, the group attained acknowledgement on the scale of the whole country, performing at the rock-festivals in Kiev, Ekaterinburg, Vilnyus ("Lituanika-8"), and taking part in the cultural program of Moscow International Film Festival.
In 1988 Auktyon recorded an album "Return to Sorrento", which has not been professionally released until now; Igor Cherednik, who left for IGRY, was replaced by a hard-rock drummer Boris Shaveinikov; and the visual image of the group had acquired a new quality, when a gifted dancer Vladimir Veselkin joined the group. A significant role in formation of the image of Auktyon during this period was played by a famous avant-garde artist from St. Petersburg Kirill Miller, who was responsible for the covers of the first albums: in particular "How I Became a Traitor" (1989), released in France by Voyla Productions, and "All Quiet in Baghdad" (1990), recorded in Russia at "Melodiya".
In 1990 Auktyon took part in grandiose ecological action "Rock of Clear Water", and along with other participants went down the river Volga, giving concerts in Volga cities.
From the late 80's Auktyon began to regularly travel to Europe: in the last ten years they have had several hundred concerts in France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, and Czech Republic. In the 90's new work continues to appear: "Asshole" (Erio, 1990), "Hangover" (SNC, 1991), "Bird" (Dyadyushka Records, 1994), "Best Of" (SNC, 1996). Furthermore, Auktyon discography also contains two collaborations with the Parisian artist, poet, and bard Aleksey Khvostenko: "Teapot of Wine" (1992) and "Mountaintop Dweller" (SNC, 1995 - based on the verses of the poet and language reformer Velemir Khlebnikov).
After the period of relative stability, in May of 1992, Vladimir Veselkin left Auktyon, who began a relatively successful solo career (in 1991 his album "Impossible Love" was released by FeeLee), and in November of 1995, Dmitriy Matkovskiy has played his last concert with the group. Almost at the same time Auktyon has invited a tuba player Mikhail Kolovskiy. The main creative force of the group - guitarist and singer Leonid Fedorov. His songs (which are usually written to the lyrics of the colleagues - Dmitriy Ozerskiy and Oleg Garkusha) have a characteristic melodic language, in which jazz and ethnic intonations neighbor with a straightforward "hit"-like key phrases, and where the rhythm allows you to stretch the most "unfit for the voice" phases.
In 2007 an Auktyon's album "Devushki Poyut" (released in English language countries as "Girls Sing") of was released. It was recorded just in a few days in USA with participation of Marc Ribot (worked with John Zorn, Marianne Faithfull, Tom Waits and more) on guitar, John Medeski on keyboards, Frank London on trumpet, Ned Rothenberg on sax, Vladimir Volkov (Владимир Волков) on contrabass.
For the extent of its biography, the group appeared in various films and documentaries: "Burglar" (Lenfilm, 1986), "Half-Official"(Germany, 1987), "Rock" (LSDF, 1987), "Let's rock-n-roll!"(Germany, 1988). The main movie star of Auktyon is Oleg Garkusha, who played in "Presumption of Innocence" (1998), and "Khrustalev! Get the car!" (1996). He regularly appears and reads his poetry and is an author of two collections of poems.
The many-sided and experienced musicians, the members of Auktyon regularly participate in recordings and multiple projects - Rubanov and Litvinov together and separately played in JUNGLE, ADDIS-ABEBA, MARKSCHEIDER KUNST; Rubanov played in BEES AND THE HELICOPTER, TIME TO LOVE, and METAMORPHOSIS; Kolovskiy and Rubanov play in Z-ENSEMBLE and UNION OF COMMERCIAL AVANTGARDE; Fedorov played and recorded with Nizhniy-Novgorod bard Aleksey "Colonel" Khrynov; Shaveinikov played with Yuri Naumov, TIME TO LOVE, and METAMORPHOSIS; Matkovskiy recorded a series of albums of his minimalist experiments called "Hunting of …"
Дорога
Аукцыон Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Голая, довольная луна,
Долгая дорога, да и то не моя.
За мною зажигали города,
Глупые чужие города,
Там меня любили, только это не я.
О-о, зона!
Я сам себе и небо, и луна,
Голая, довольная луна,
Долгая дорога бескайфовая.
Меня держала за ноги земля,
Голая, тяжелая земля,
Медленно любила, пережевывая.
И пылью улетала в облака,
Крыльями метала облака
Долгая дорога бескайфовая.
О-о, зона!
Ожидает напряженно беспросветная.
Я сам себе и небо, и луна,
Голая, довольная луна,
Я летаю где-то, только это не я.
Сам себе я!..
The song "Дорога" by the Russian avant-garde rock band АукцЫон (Auktyon) is a poetic exploration of the human condition and the search for identity in a world that is constantly changing. The lyrics are introspective and often surreal, describing the singer's relationship to the world around them through imagery of the moon, the earth, and the road. The refrain "Я сам себе и небо, и луна" ("I am my own sky, and my own moon") emphasizes the individualistic nature of the singer's perspective, while also highlighting their feelings of detachment from the people and places they encounter.
The first verse describes the singer's journey on a long road that isn't theirs. They pass through cities where they are loved, but it's not really them that's being loved. The imagery of the moon appears here, personifying the singer's sense of self-sufficiency and perhaps also suggesting their otherworldliness. In the second verse, the singer is held down by the heavy earth, but also loved by it in a slow, consuming way. The dust of the road becomes part of the clouds, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. The final verse is perhaps the most abstract, with the singer proclaiming that they fly somewhere, but it's not really them doing the flying.
Overall, "Дорога" is a deeply introspective song that uses poetic imagery to explore themes of identity, detachment, and connection to the natural world.

Долгая дорога, да и то не моя.
A long road, but not even mine.

Меня держала за ноги земля,
The earth held onto my legs,
Голая, тяжелая земля,
A naked, heavy earth,
Медленно любила, пережевывая.
Loving me slowly, chewing on me.
И пылью улетала в облака,
And flew away as dust into the clouds,
Крыльями метала облака
The clouds beat with their wings,
Долгая дорога бескайфовая.
A long, unexciting road.
О-о, зона!
Oh, zone!
Ожидает напряженно беспросветная.
The pitch-black night is tense and waiting.

Я летаю где-то, только это не я.
I fly somewhere, but that's not me.
Сам себе я!..
I am myself!..
