Orgia Pravednikov
Orgia Pravednikov () is a Russian rock group formed in 1999. The peculiar sound of the band arises from the combination of acoustic (flute and acoustic guitar) and electric (drums, electric guitar and bass guitar) sessions.

History
Orgia Pravednikov was formed in early 1999 by a merge of the rock group Artel, whose style can be described as art-rock, and singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist Sergey Kalugin, who had just had his previous act Dikaya Okhota ('Wild Hunt') disbanded.

According to the members of the band, the name Orgia Pravednikov was prompted by the audience asking what the band should be called during one of concerts. Soon after the forming the band released an eponymous single, and in 2001 an album Oglaschennye, isydite!. Over the decade, 2001-2010, the band output four studio albums.

The start of the second decade was marked by the band airing on the major national pop-rock radio Nashe Radio. In 2013, Orgia Pravednikov made it to the shortlist of the radio's annual awards, including a song, an album and the vocalist (Kalugin) in respective nominations, though eventually the band did not win any award, as determined by audience poll results.
