Zemlyane (Russian: Земляне, lit. 'Earthlings') is a Soviet and later Russian rock band, formed in Leningrad in 1978. Most of their lyrics deal with risk, courage, and masculinity.
In 2009, Zemlyane's 1980s hit "Trava u doma" (Russian: «Трава у дома», lit. 'Тhe grass at home') became the first official anthem of the Russian space program.
