''46'' is the second studio album by the Soviet rock band Kino. It was recorded in 1983 at the AnTrop studio and released on 12 December 1983. The album consisted of demos of songs written by the band's singer, Viktor Tsoi. It was largely dismissed by Tsoi as a "rehearsal tape" for '' Nachalnik Kamchatki'', with many of the songs in ''46'' being used in the later album. Despite this, fans viewed it as the band's second album. The band has never recognized it as a legitimate album.
