Vladimir Kuzmin

Vladimir Kuzmin is a Russian singer, songwriter, and musician born on May 31, 1955, in Moscow, USSR. He works primarily within pop and rock idioms and has been active as a solo artist across several decades of Soviet and post-Soviet music history. He is recognized as both a performer and a songwriter, contributing material to other prominent artists in addition to recording under his own name.

Kuzmin's records have circulated on Soviet-era state labels as well as through later Russian commercial releases, and his output spans vinyl, cassette, and CD formats across his career. Collectors with an interest in Soviet pop-rock generally seek out his earlier pressings, particularly those issued through the state recording infrastructure of the USSR, as physical copies from that period are more limited in circulation than later releases. His work sits within the broader landscape of Soviet popular music that developed in the 1980s, a period of particular interest to collectors focused on the Eastern Bloc.
