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 ↴
Что я воюю в чужой стране.
Враг, неравный бой,
Я ранен в голову.
Я герой.
Но, вот, чувствую я -
Это конец.
Но, вот, я ухожу,
Хрустят у меня под ногами...
Взрыв, и все в огне,
Я в красной шапке, я на коне.
Сон, во сне борьба,
Судьба народа - моя судьба !
Но, вот, чувствую я -
Это конец.
Но, вот, я ухожу,
Осколки девичьих сердец
Хрустят у меня под ногами...
The lyrics of this song tell a story of a dream in which the singer is fighting in a foreign land against an unequal enemy, but is ultimately wounded in the head and accepts his fate as the end. Despite this, the singer refuses to give up and continues on, stepping on the shards of broken hearts of young women, perhaps symbolizing the collateral damage and pain caused by war.
The dream then shifts to a scene of explosions and flames, with the singer wearing a red hat and riding a horse. He fights for the fate of his people, implying a sense of duty and responsibility, but once again feels the end approaching. Despite this, he presses on, continuing to walk on the remnants of shattered hearts.
The song paints a vivid picture of the horrors of war, but also highlights the bravery and determination needed to continue fighting even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The repeated mention of the 'shards of broken hearts' serves as a striking reminder of the human cost of conflict.

АУКЦЫОН - песни на все времена в этой стране.
@retiarene6340
Пророческая песня, конечно, ведь Аукцион - это истинные творцы и поэты! Самые любимые навсегда!
@lightsleeper-music
Песня крутая, тут никто не спорит. Пророчество-то в чём?
@sveta_glaz
@@lightsleeper-music так вот работает пропаганда, что поделать
@skyline3911
Да не пророческая. Скорее просто жизненная. Пока существует человеческое существо - всегда подобная тема будет актуальна. Исчезнет она только с последним человеком.
АукцЫону бесконечный респект. Это чистый стиль.
@user-cf2qw9ti2g
В каком месте она пророческая? Она про Афган.
@eugenatara9706
Ах-ахаа, люди вне времени и пространства. Весело роняю свое сердце перед Федоровым, хрустит как музыка
@ruslyakov
Воистину вне времени и вне пространства

А почему так.
Там не только, а все.
И осколки хрустят..
