Plazma (previously known as Slow Motion,1990–1999) is a Russian musical group consisting of Roman Chernitsyn(vocals, lyrics, music) and Maxim Postelniy(background vocals, keyboards, music and arrangements).

Roman and Maxim were born and grew up in the hero city of Volgograd, where they created the Slow Motion duo right after school, which over the years of its existence has received the status of the most popular group in the city. Even then, the guys decided that all the songs would be performed exclusively in English, and this is the principled position of the band members. Firstly, Roma and Max are big fans of progressive Western music, the lion’s share of which is performed in English. Secondly, they believe that Russian-language music is practically unknown abroad, as a result of which Western listeners get the impression that there are no bands making high-quality music in Russia.

Having achieved local recognition, the band attracted the attention of the capital’s record companies and soon after the release of the Prologue album went to Moscow for further development, where they were able to conclude a five-year production contract with Dmitry Malikov, who began to provide sponsorship, advertising and concert support, as well as to provide their own production center for use, without participating in the writing of the band’s songs. The band immediately changed its name to a more international, energetic and memorable version — Plazma — and in 2000 became famous throughout Russia and in neighboring countries, achieving high ratings on radio and television thanks to singles “Take My Love”, “Jump in My Car ”, “The Sweetest Surrender,"and then the album ”Take My Love“.

Since her last album, between 2018 and 2021, Plazma has released 7 singles: «Rescue Me», «I Believe in Love» (with videoclip), «Salvation», «Freedom Is Finally Mine», «Waterfall», «My Color’s Black» and «Broken Satellites».
