Secret (band)

Secret (Russian: Секрет) is a widely known Soviet and then Russian rock and roll band founded in 1982. Largely modeled after the Beatles, and styling themselves as a "Beat Quartet", Secret were prominent on the fledgling 1980s Soviet rock scene.

The band's name was inspired by the Beatles song 'Do You Want to Know a Secret?'.

The original line-up lasted until 1990, when frontman Maxim Leonidov emigrated to Israel. The band continued with different line-ups without great success. Since 1997 the original line-up has occasionally performed together including for anniversary shows in 2003 and 2007.

Many Secret hits of the 1980s still receive a lot of airplay on Russian FM stations.^[1]
