Shabash (album)

''Shabash'' (russian: Шабаш) is a live album by Russian rock band Alisa. It was released on 25 April 1991. The album was recorded at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on 28 October 1990. The concert was part of the ''Shabash'' Tour, which ran between 1989 and 1991.

The album was dedicated to Alisa bandleader Konstantin Kinchev's friend Alexander Bashlachev, who had died three years before the album release, and the title is taken from the last syllable of his nickname and the first of his surname (Sasha Bashlachev). It is the first double live album in the history of Russian rock music. In 1996, Kinchev stated that ''Shabash'' was the band's best album.

The songs performed at the concert were written between 1986 and 1990.
