"For a very long time we were associated with the song "Alice", but in 2004 everything changed. Then the TV series "Soldiers" appeared, and we wrote the soundtrack for it. Nobody knew what that film was. I remember sitting with the creators of that series in some cheburena shop and talking about music. We didn't care about money, we just genuinely wanted to help...".
Music video
The first clip was shot in 2004. It was a promo video for a TV series. Actually, it is difficult to call it a clip - all the rights belonged to "Lean-M."and, accordingly, the group could not use it for its own purposes.
The second video was shot nine years later, in 2013. This time it was initiated by the band members themselves "The end of the film.". Filming took place in a special forces unit. "Peresvet.".

"I remember standing in a queue in a shop, and several people had this song playing on their ringtone! Then I realised that now we are not only the creators of two hits, but also of one popular ringtone," recalled Evgeny Feklistov.

A little bit about the series
"Soldiers." - a popular Russian TV series that continues to be broadcast to this day on the TV channel "REN TV.". Its first episode aired in August 2004. The project quickly caught the viewers' fancy. It tells about service in the army, about the experiences and personal tragedies of soldiers, about the problems of sergeants, warrant officers and officers, about their moments of joy and sorrow....
The story is very touching, while not without humour - light and kind. Mishka Medvedev и Kuzma Sokolov quickly became the audience's favourites, but gradually the series introduced more and more new characters - some caused sympathy in the audience, while others, on the contrary, represented negative characters. Especially many people remembered Shmatko - a real Russian warrant officer, with character and a good sense of humour.
Gradually, the non-profit project, whose fate was unclear even to the creators themselves, grew to a 16 seasons!
