Sergey Vladimirovich Shnurov (Russian: Серге́й Влади́мирович Шну́ров; born 13 April 1973) is a Russian musician and songwriter, best known as Shnur (lit. cord), of the ska-punk band Leningrad which he formed in 1997. The group disbanded between 2008 and 2010, during which time Shnur formed Rubl with other members of Leningrad.
Three of Shnur's songs featured on the Everything Is Illuminated soundtrack: Звезда рок-н-ролла (Rock-n-Roll Star), Дикий мужчина (Wild Man), and Маленький мальчик (A Little Boy). Shnurov also composed music for many other movies, including the Russian cult film Bumer and its sequel.
Art critic Stanislav Zapalikov thinks that the main audience of Shnurov are clerks who need someone to channel their aggression. Most of the Shnur's songs excessively use obscene words and have a very simple composition, thus fulfilling this function. In 2016, Shnurov reported the highest income of all singers in Russia ($11 million). In 2017, he was on the cover of the Russian edition of Forbes.
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, he appeared in a music video on YouTube suggesting that to be a Russian was equivalent to having been a Jew in 1944 in Germany during WWII. It is unclear if the text is to be understood as ironic criticism or support of Russians abroad lamenting purported anti-Russian sentiment. He also left his post as producer at the international Russian language channel RTVI, citing as a reason possible differences in opinion around the situation.

defense attys in Pentagon papers case have reptdly still not decided whether to ask Sen Foreign Relations Com chmn Sen J W Fulbright to testify in behalf of D Ellsberg and A J Russo; decision depends on how much Ellsberg is allowed to go into his motivations for releasing papers to public when he resumes testifying; Ellsberg's contention is that he had higher duty while working for Rand Corp than protection of classified documents, and that he therefore copied papers so he could make them available to Fulbright and, through him, to Cong and the Amer people; defense has not reached final decision on whether to end its case with testimony from Prof R Falk, who would be called to testify on so-called 'negotiation' or 'diplomatic' volumes of papers; point of his testimony would apparently be that vols showed that US did not negotiate in good faith to end war; M Green, former Asst Sec of State for East Asia and now Amer Amb to Australia, is scheduled to testify as govt witness to effect that disclosure of 'negotiation' vols have in fact damaged natl defense, been prejudicial to US and been advantage to foreign nation
