Assa (film)
Assa (Асса) is a 1987 Soviet crime film directed and co-written by Sergei Solovyov. It became a cult film, mainly due to the fact that it was one of the films that brought Russian rock music from the underground into the mainstream. Solovyov made a sequel to the film twenty years later, 2-ASSA-2.

While there are no causal links to it, Sovietology uses the release of Assa as a benchmark for when Perestroika reached the mass culture, and accordingly, entered its prime phase. This could be explained by the fact that the film was the first sanctioned production to feature group Kino.
