"Arlekino" (Russian: Арлекино; English: Harlequin) is a song by Russian singer Alla Pugacheva. The song was co-authored by Bulgarian composer Emil Dimitrov and Russian poet Boris Barkas. In 1975, the song was recorded in the studio and released on the singer's first solo extended play Arlekino. It simultaneously became a staple at live performances. For this song, Alla Pugacheva was awarded the Grand Prix of the 1975 Golden Orpheus international song contest in Bulgaria.[1][2]
The single became an international hit in Eastern Europe, the Baltics and Central Asia. It was most popular in Bulgaria and Germany. Total sales of the single in the former USSR and the world amounted to 14 million copies.[3]
In 2023, a remix of the song created by Geoffplaysguitar became the soundtrack to the game Atomic Heart.[4]
