“Mirage” (Мираж) is an iconic Soviet pop group, formed in 1986 in Moscow by composer Andrey Litjagin. Inspired by Eurodisco acts like Modern Talking and Bad Boys Blue, they crafted catchy melodies with romantic lyrics. Vocals for their debut album The Stars Await Us were performed by Margarita Sukhankina and Natalia Gulkina, though tours often featured other singers. Hits like Zvezdy Nas Zhdut and Video made Mirage a symbol of 1980s Soviet pop, soundtracking the perestroika era. Despite lineup changes, the group remains an icon, with Maschina Records’ reissues reviving their energy.
