At its founding, the band was originally named "Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves" ({{lang-ru|"Али-Баба и сорок разбойников"}}). In 1983, at the suggestion of the band's sound director Andrei Makarov, the band's name was changed to ''Nautilus''. In 1985, the name lengthened to ''Nautilus Pompilius'' under the initiative of Ilya Kormiltsev. This was done to avoid confusion with other Russian rock bands at the time also named ''Nautilus'', such as the Moscow band lead by [[Evgeny Margulis]].

The band, with its various incarnations, was active between the years 1983 and 1997. Nautilus was an influential band in the [[post-punk]], [[New wave music|new wave]] wing of [[Russian rock]] music and also a landmark of the "Ural rock" style with their philosophical lyrics. Some of their early hits are popularly associated with the [[Perestroika]] period. Their songs also accompanied the movie ''[[Brother (1997 film)|Brother]]''. A version of their popular song, "Bound by One Chain" ("Скованные одной цепью") appeared in the film [[Stilyagi (film)|Stilyagi]]. The band hired English guitarist [[Bill Nelson (musician)|Bill Nelson]] to produce their 1997 album ''Yablokitay'' ({{lang-ru|Яблокитай}}) on which Nelson also plays guitar. Since the group disbanded, Vyacheslav Butusov has launched a successful solo career.

Even though Butusov composed most of the band's songs and wrote some of their lyrics, poet [[Ilya Kormiltsev]] was one of the key contributors as a songwriter and producer.

Nautilus Pompilius (Russian: Наутилус Помпилиус), sometimes nicknamed Nau (Russian: Нау), was an influential Soviet, and later Russian, rock band[1] founded in Sverdlovsk in 1982 by Vyacheslav Butusov and Dmitry Umetsky. Butusov disbanded the group in 1997, after multiple albums and several different line-ups of the band.

Name

[edit]

The band was originally named "Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves" (Russian: "Али-Баба и сорок разбойников"). In 1983, at the suggestion of the band's sound director, Andrei Makarov, the band's name was changed to Nautilus. In 1985, under the initiative of Ilya Kormiltsev, the name was lengthened to Nautilus Pompilius to avoid confusion with other Russian rock bands that were also named Nautilus at the time, such as the Moscow group led by Evgeny Margulis.

The band later elaborated on the name, saying "The band is named after the nudibranch mollusc, which is naturally beautiful and charming." [citation needed] Nautilus pompilius is the scientific name of a species of cephalopod (mistakenly called a nudibranch by the band) commonly known as the Chambered Nautilus.
