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.[1] 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.[2] Despite this, fans viewed it as the band's second album.[3] The band has never recognized it as a legitimate album.[4]

Neil Davidson of AllMusic described the album as a "bunch of lo-fi demos, mainly recorded with very little or no accompaniment beyond the odd half-hearted overdub," and gave it a two-star rating.[5]
