Mashina Vremeni (Russian: Машина времени, Russian for Time Machine) is a Russian rock band founded in 1969. Mashina Vremeni was a pioneer in Soviet rock music, and remains one of the oldest still active rock bands in Russia.

The first band Andrei Makarevich was involved in was a school band which consisted of two guitarists and two girls on vocals singing American folk songs. Serious attempts began in 1968 when Andrei Makarevich heard songs by The Beatles. The band was reformed and called The Kids. After some time the girls were removed from the squad and the band began to be called Mashiny Vremeni (Time Machines - in plural form imitating The Beatles, Rolling Stones etc.) The most significant founders included Sergey Kavagoe and Andrey Makarevich. The band's repertoire consisted of eleven songs in English, now lost.

Mashina Vremeni's sound is eclectic and incorporates many different genres. Songs are composed by almost every band's member, and reflect each one's style. Makarevich is a renowned fan of The Beatles, and many of his songs reflect Beatles' influence. But he's also influenced by blues music and Soviet singers-songwriters, the so-called "bards". Kutikov is a quintessential rocker, he composes guitar-oriented hard rock. Margulis is one of the Russia's best known bluesmen, his songs are usually blues rock ballads.

All the band's lyrics are written by Makarevich. They are usually metaphorical fables that make allegorical puns on contemporary life.
