Mongol Shuudan (Russian: Монгол Шуудан, IPA: [mɐnˈɡoɫ ʂu.uˈdan], Mongolian pronunciation: [mɔɴ.ɢʊɮ ˈɕʊːtaŋ]) is a rock band formed in Moscow in 1988.
This unusual choice is explained by the band vocalist Valeri Skoroded very simply: the band was standing at a bus stop by a Soyuzpechat [Wikidata] booth and their eyes were caught by fancy postage stamps with the exotic words on them.
Some of their songs include "Commissar," "Chekist," "Freedom or Death," "Sabbath on the Bald Mountain", and so forth.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the group has continued to produce music, much of which is available on their website.
The band has performed over 100 shows and toured Europe, Israel, and all of the Russian Federation.
