9. Vladivostok 2000, Mumiy Troll | 1997
Clip Fact: This video was the first clip shown on MTV Russia. Viewers and fans of the group’s creativity quickly fell in love with the released clip, and soon the video began to be broadcast on MUZ-TV. For several weeks the clip was held in the first position of the charts of the channel.
The song is still very popular among not only the generation of the 90s, but also modern youth. The clip shows concert scenes during the performances of the Mumiy Troll band in Vladivostok.
8. "There is no way out," Spleen | 1998
One has only to read the name of the song and the following lines will sound uncontrollably in the head with the voice of Alexander Vasiliev.
At the beginning of 2019, the clip on the YouTube platform has more than 25.5 million views! And if you have not seen it yet, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself.
According to legend, the song was written by Vasiliev after he saw the death of two people under a subway train. And the name of the song is taken from the same subway - before, one could often see a sign with the words: "There is no way out."
And, despite the obviously depressing mood of the song, the clip itself is replete with frames with strong gusts of wind flying quickly past the trains and the vast expanses that are shot from the air. The entire clip is saturated with an atmosphere of freedom and infinity.
7. "Autumn", Lyceum | 1996
The YouTube clip has over 600,000 views. In the year of release, the song brought the group to the first lines of the music charts, and the clip did not leave the TV screens. Soon after, the band’s first cassette comes out, which contains clips and interviews with songwriters.
The entire clip was shot in sepia, which gives it even more age, from a visual point of view. However, in the comments on the video, most viewers are satisfied: the clip evokes a warm feeling of nostalgia.
6. “Accountant”, Combination | 1991
The clip has collected more than 3.7 million views on the YouTube platform! The clip itself was shot in the style of a short film, in which the main character - an accountant - enters the salon, where he is promised to perform music for every taste.
He orders “something about love, about life and about me” and the members of the “Combination” group are happy to fulfill his order.
The clip itself is still loved by listeners: the song is driving, you want to start dancing to it, and the clip masterfully shows the nuances of the life of the 90s. Complete freedom and lawlessness: in the frame you can smoke, which is what the characters of the clip do, no ban on the promotion of alcohol: the characters drink strong drinks from transparent glasses. Oh, those dashing 90s!
5. "Clouds", Ivanushki international | 1996
On YouTube, the clip has 4,000,000 views, and the video is still broadcast on modern music channels.
Before the release of the video, they wanted to dissolve Ivanushki, but Matvienko, the producer of the group, decided to take the risk and experiment, realizing the video Clouds. After his release on "Ivanushka" popularity fell, and since then the group has been known and loved even after 20 years.
By the way, the shooting was postponed for a long time, since there were terrible weather conditions in St. Petersburg on the falling dates in the shooting schedule.
But when it was no longer possible to postpone, the performers were dragged out under a hurricane, so the raging natural elements in the frame are absolutely real.
4. The Crow, Linda | 1996
The gloomy clip for a very popular song attracted almost 5,000,000 views on YouTube. Both the song and the clip were incredibly popular and unusual for their time.
Even now, the visuals of Crows seem gloomy and atmospheric, despite the poor quality and weak chroma key.
By the way, because of this video, singer Linda wanted to sue Madonna. Indeed, shortly after the release of "Crows", a foreign performer presented the world with a video for the song "Frozen", the image of the singer and the mood of the video very much resemble a Russian hit.
3. “What is Autumn”, DDT | 1992
The clip itself was shot back in 1991. There is no special meaning and plot in it; everything that fell into the lens was filmed. The filming was attended by members of the DDT group and Shevchuk's friends.
The frames in the clip alternate: they show either the musicians walk in the park, or Shevchuk sitting at the table, who smokes and sings “What is Autumn”.
2. “I am you,” Murat Nasyrov | 1998
On the YouTube platform, the clip collected nearly 7.5 million views. The clip was shot in Prague, visible in the video
Chekhov bridge. What song, what clip still have the popularity and recognition of the audience. And in 1997, Murat received the Golden Gramophone award for this song.
Young people like sincerity, and the generation that grew up on this song succumbs to feelings of nostalgia.
1. "The wind blew from the sea", Natalie | 1998
This clip is included in the list of 99 most popular and memorable Russian pop hits. The clip was filmed in 1997, at the moment it has 34 million views on YouTube!

Both the song and the clip brought the singer incredible fame, the hit was so close to the performer that sometimes Natalie was called “Vetersmoryadulova”.
