various artists

The Leningrad cowboys were formed in 1986 by members of the Finnish group Sleepy Sleepers and film director Aki Kaurismäki as a joke on the waning power of the Soviet Union. Kaurismäki's first feature with the group was a success and led to the group developing a life beyond the films, recording albums, giving concerts, and making their own videos.
