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 …"

Аукцыон Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
То ли дети, то ли не дает.
То ли весел, то ли вечер,
То ли ветер, то ли самолет.
Как из тучи - я невезучий,
Лето излечит, осень научит май...
Лето лечит, осень канючит,
Я невезучий,
Был бы я не светел,
Заварил бы зелье,
Может, ты заметил -
У меня веселье...
У меня зима зимует,
У меня зима ворует,
За меня зима целует,
У меня зима...
То ли месяц в небе злится,
Мне не спится,
Значит не сезон.
То ли вьюга веселится, то ли птицы,
То ли полигон.
Я живучий, но невезучий,
Вьпадет случай, лето сведет с ума.
Лето лечит, осень канючит,
Я невезучий,
Радость моя, зима.
На моем оконце
Гнезда вьют метели,
У тебя есть солнце,
У меня веселье...
У меня зима зимует,
У меня зима ворует,
За меня зима целует,
У меня зима...
То ли весел, то ли вечер,
То ли ветер, то ли самолет.
То ли солнце мне не светит,
То ли дети, то ли не везет...
The lyrics of the song Зима by Аукцыон describes the feeling of being unlucky and isolated during the winter season. The first verse starts by the singer questioning the reason for his sadness and lack of happiness - whether it's because the sun is not shining, or the kids are not giving him energy, or maybe it's the season itself that makes him feel down. He describes himself as unlucky and compares himself to a storm cloud. He knows that he will be healed by summer and taught by autumn, but he feels that the joy he had is now gone forever.
In the second verse, the singer speaks about the winter as something that is stealing his happiness, giving him only kisses in return. He then wonders whether it's the moon or the raging snow that makes him unable to sleep at night. He also mentions the birds and the military range, perhaps indicating that he feels trapped and unable to escape his winter depression. He still sees a glimmer of hope for himself and describes himself as resilient but unlucky.
Overall, the song is a melancholic reflection on the winter season and the singer's feelings of isolation and despair during this time. It portrays the feelings of loneliness and hopelessness that can often accompany the season, but it also hints at the possibility of resilience and survival.
