Vopli Vidopliassova (Ukrainian: Воплі Відоплясова [ˈwɔpl⁽ʲ⁾i widoˈplʲɑsowɐ]), also shortened to VV (ВВ), is a Ukrainian rock band.
It was created in 1986 in Kyiv, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union (present-day Ukraine).
Vopli Vidopliasova are the founders of Ukrainian rock-n-roll style and neo-ethnic rock.
They first sang Ukrainian rock outside Ukraine. Their influences include folk, patriotic songs, punk, hard rock, heavy metal and, most recently, electronic music.
Their song Den Narodzhennia is featured in the Russian crime films Brother and Brother 2 by director Aleksei Balabanov. Band member Oleh Skrypka has also produced several solo albums.
On 25 November 2022, the group re-released their 2006 song "Buly denky" as a single, to celebrate the recapture of Kherson by Ukrainian forces.
