46 is an album by the Soviet rock band Kino.
Leader singer Viktor Tsoi considered 46 to serve as a demo for what became Kino's next album, Nachalnik Kamchatki. The band did not intend for the album to have a wide release, but the album was released by producer Aleksei Vishnya on the underground magnitizdat distribution scene without the band's permission. While Tsoi came to accept the tape's reception, he never considered 46 a mainline Kino release like the band's other albums.
Background
45, an acoustic album, was Kino's first release. It was released in 1982, a year prior to the release of 46. After 45, Viktor Tsoi wanted to change Kino to play electric-based rock music, and sought new band members.
Supporting the release of 45, Kino played several shows with Aquarium, led by prominent rock musician Boris Grebenshchikov. After a joint concert with Aquarium on February 19, 1983, Yuri Kasparyan was hired as Kino's lead guitarist. Tsoi and Grebenshchikov became good friends, and throughout 1983 Grebenshchikov attempted to help Tsoi finalize Kino's unstable lineup of band members. Throughout the summer of 1983, Tsoi, Grebenshchikov, and their wives hung out in Solnechnoye, Saint Petersburg where they drank dry wine and discussed things such as eastern philosophy and Bruce Lee.
In the fall of 1983, Tsoi received a conscription into the Soviet Armed Forces. Up until then, Tsoi had previously avoided conscription by enrolling in various vocational schools, believing that a two-year period in the military would hinder his musicianship. This time, in order to avoid conscription, Tsoi committed himself to a psychiatric hospital, where he was prescribed psychiatric medication. Producer Aleksei Vishnya later described Tsoi after his release from the institution as "a completely different person" and "the complete opposite of the Viktor who wrote 45", describing this period as when Tsoi became the dynamic person he was until his death. After his military conscription was cancelled, Tsoi wrote the song "Транквилизатор" (trans. "Tranquilizer") based on his experience at the psychiatric hospital and with psychiatric medication.
46 was recorded in two days. Viktor Tsoi sang lead vocals, Tsoi and Kasparyan played guitar, and Vishnya played percussion by beating a cardboard box with an enema.
Many of the songs on 46 were re-recorded and released on subsequent albums Nachalnik Kamchatki and Eto ne lyubov.... The song "Троллейбус" (trans. "Trolleybus") was re-recorded for the 1989 album Posledniy geroy.
The album was digitally remastered and released in 1996, with three bonus tracks recorded at an apartment in the period from 1983 to 1985.
