Sekret (Russian: Секрет, lit.: Secret) was a Soviet Russian rock and roll band founded in 1982 in Leningrad. The band's musical style and image were inspired from 1950s and 1960s western music, in particular by the Beatles. The band's name was inspired by the Beatles song 'Do You Want to Know a Secret?'. Over their career, they released 9 albums, 1 single, and 1 EP. The last album they released was Все это и есть любовь, which was in 2014.
The original lineup lasted until 1990, when frontman Maxim Leonidov emigrated to Israel. The band continued with different lineups without great success, but nevertheless continued actively making music until 2014.
Their 1980s hits continue to receive airplay on Russian FM stations.[1]
