C.C.C.P. is a German musical project specializing in synth-pop and EBM, fronted by Rasputin Stoy. Their international breakthrough came with the 1986 single releases "American-Soviets I" and "American-Soviets II," issued under the Clockwork Germany label. This six-minute composition, inspired by the Cold War, secured chart positions on the US Billboard, the German Top 75, and various European charts. Following singles such as "Made in Russia" and "Orient Express" simultaneously attained top two spots in multiple territories including Hong Kong, Benelux, France, and Spain. The 1990 track "Don't Kill the Rainforest" also found moderate success within alternative radio formats. The band's name, C.C.C.P., is derived from the Cyrillic acronym "СССР," which stands for the USSR in Russian.
In January 2008, their seventh studio album titled Quantic Shamanism Through Digital Western, featuring Meyhiel, was released through MillePlateauxMedia. The current ensemble consists of founder Rasputin Stoy (also known as Rai Streubel) alongside Frank Schendler, formerly of Beat-A-Max.
The 2018 album Decadance Club was launched via Saal 600, with announcements regarding a refreshed lineup and upcoming live shows slated for 2020.
