Группа "Парк Горького" была создана благодаря Stas Namin Center in 1987. This was a kind of attempt to "untwist" the Russian group, using Western methods, so much so that it thundered abroad and at the same time glorified and spread the news of the wonderful "serpomolotovskaya" country. To fulfill this lofty goal, the best musicians were selected. They were Nikolai Noskov and Alexei Belov (vocals and guitar) - former soloists of the group "Moscow". Also the band could boast of such participants as Jan Yanenkov and Alexander Minkov (also Alexander Marshall) - guitar and bass, former members of the "Flowers" group. Moved here and the former lead singer of the group "Aria" Alexander Lvov and began to beat the rhythms now in the group "Gorky Park". The composition of the group, as you can see, is quite good.

Впервые группа показала себя миру на фестивале under the title "Musicians for Peace", which was organized by the Stas Namin Center. This debut took place in May 1988. After that the group "Gorky Park" accompanied the world-famous "Scorpions" in their concerts in Leningrad. In 1989, in August, another loud performance of the group took place in Luzhniki, at the International Moscow Peace Festival, in which many world celebrities also participated. And organized this festival ... who we could think ... Center Stas Namin.

In the fall of 1989, the first album was released, whichreleased a rock band "Gorky Park." Songs from this album were heard in many countries, and the video of one of the songs from this record ("Bang! Bang!") Was in the TOP 15 MTV. In total, more than one million records were sold.

No less enthusiasm was caused by the second album,which was released by the group "Gorky Park" ("Moscow calls"). It was released in 1992 and was presented by various companies in many countries around the world. Together with the group "Gorky Park" many famous American performers recorded their records. For example, the first record was recorded with the participation of John Bon Jovi, as well as the musicians of his band. In the creation of the second album, Duzil Zappa, Richard Marx, as well as saxophonist, part of the Pink Floyd group - Skate Page. Participated.

However, with the release of the second album, the group lost one of its members, Nikolai Noskov. He was replaced by Nikolai Kuzminykh, who once played in the "Moscow" group together with Alexei Belov.

Возвращение группы на Родину состоялось в 1994 year, and already in 1995 a long-term tour of the cities of Russia was organized. The capital's inhabitants reacted calmly to the glorified group, but in the provinces there was nowhere to poke through the number of people wishing to see the world-famous countrymen.

1996 was the year of the release of the third album undercalled "Stare". By recording, it was heard that the music of the group became much more difficult. A symphony orchestra took part in the recording of the third album of Gorky Park. In addition, Alan Holdsworth (famous American guitarist) and Ron Powell (one of the best percussionists in the world) took part in the recording process.

На концертах музыканты частенько выступали, dressing up in stage pseudo-folk costumes (bloomers, korovorotki), holding a balalaika-shaped guitar, and waving American and Soviet flags.

Alexander Minkov left the group in 1998 andbegan a solo career, choosing a pseudonym Alexander Marshal. The same year is actually considered the year of the breakup of the group. After the collapse, Aleksey Belov and Yan Yanenkov still continued to perform, singing songs from the old repertoire and taking on a new name - “Belova Park”.
