Their name, CCCP, is an intentional use of the Cyrillic acronym of "SSSR", (Russian: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик; transliterated Sojuz Sovetskih Socialisticheskih Respublik); (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, abbreviated USSR).
Originally named "MitropaNK", CCCP left behind the stereotypes of punk rock, and reached for a genre-defying convergence of punk, art rock, industrial music, folk, electropop, Middle Eastern music, and even chamber music while delivering a bleak vision of humankind, introducing in their live shows elements of expressionist theater and existentialist philosophy.
They are one of the most important group in Italian rock music, and their works influenced dozen of artists such as Marlene Kuntz, Massimo Volume, and Offlaga Disco Pax. They disbanded in 1990.
In 2023 the reunion after more or less forty years since the official beginning saw them returning with an exhibition and a concert in Reggio Emilia.

CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qualcosa che assomiglia a ridere nel pianto
Amarti m'affatica mi da' malinconia
Che vuoi farci è la vita
E' la vita, la mia
Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Un anno un mese un'ora perdutamente
Amarti mi consola le notti bianche
Amarti mi consola mi da' allegria
Che vuoi farci è la vita
E' la vita, la mia
Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Un anno un mese un'ora perdutamente
Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Solo per un'ora perdutamente
