=Leonid Fedorov= Leonid V. Fedorov (born January 8, 1963, Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian rock musician and the leader of the group Auktyon.

Auktyon
Fedorov was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), the center of Soviet rock culture. He began to play in amateur rock groups in the late 1970s as a teenager and started his own band, Auction (later renamed Auktyon) in 1983. From the beginning, he was the primary leader and composer of the group, and soon, the lead vocalist. While he performed a major role in the creative direction of the group, Fedorov preferred to keep a low profile within the Leningrad music scene and shied away from fame and publicity.

In the mid 1980s, Soviet rock grew very popular within the country, and Auktyon became famous as one of the most experimental and innovative bands in the Soviet Union, due in a significant part to Fedorov's creativity. In 1989, Auktyon was invited to France, where they were amongst the first Soviet bands to record a CD.
