Autograph (Russian: Автограф, or Avtograf) was a Soviet Russian art rock/AOR band, considered a pioneer of progressive rock music in Russia.
The group was founded in Moscow in 1979 by Alexander "Sasha" Sitkovetsky, and achieved a considerable success at the first Soviet state-sanctioned rock festival held in Tbilisi, Georgia with Sitkovetsky's songs 'Fasten Seat Belts', 'Ireland. Ulster' and 'Blues Caprice'. In 1982 vocalist Arthur Berkut joined the band to finalize the lineup: Alexander Sitkovetsky - guitar, vocals, Arthur Berkut - lead vocal, Leonid Goutkin - bass, Leonid Makarevich - keyboards, Victor Mikhalin - drums, vocals.
