Premyer-Ministr (Russian: Премьер-министр, lit. Prime minister) is a Russian musical group. The idea behind the band was to form a boy band, though not especially for teenagers. Four men came together to form Premier Ministr in 1997. Their first real success came in 2000 with the remake of a Russian tune, "Oriental Song".
In 2001 one of the members, Dmitry Lanskoy, left the group for a solo career and was replaced.[1]
In 2005, the group members split with their producer and started independent career as Group PM, while Premier Ministr was started anew with Taras Demchuk, Sergey Demyanchuk, Amarkhuu Borkhuu, and Vasily Kireyev.[2]
