«Gosti iz budushchego» (Russian: «Гости из будущего», lit.: «Guests from the Future») was a Russian pop band that was formed in 1996 in Saint Petersburg. It was founded by musicians Yury Usachyov and Evgeny Arsentyev. After 1998, the band consisted of two members: Yury Usachyov and Eva Polna, until its dissolution in 2009. Experimenting with dance pop, drum and bass, and jungle styles, they became most famous in 1999 with the hit «Беги от меня» («Begi ot menya», «Run Away from Me») and the release of the self-titled album.
Their studio albums and other works received mostly positive reviews from music critics, and the band itself became a symbol of the Russian dance scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In spring of 2009 Eva Polna announced split-up of the group and her new solo career.
