"'''Zakroy za mnoy dver', ya uhozhu'''", ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Закрой за мной дверь, я ухожу, <small>[[Literal translation|lit.]] '</small>Close the door behind me, I'm leaving') or simply "'''Zakroy za mnoy dver''''" is a song by the [[Rock music in Russia|Soviet rock]] band [[Kino (band)|Kino]] from their sixth studio album, ''[[Gruppa krovi]]'' ({{langx|ru|Группа крови}} {{IPA|ru|ˈɡrupːə ˈkrovʲɪ|}}, {{lit|blood type}}/'blood group'). The author of the lyrics and music is [[Viktor Tsoi]]. The keyboard solo for the recording was played by [[pianist]] [[Andrey Sigle]]. At concerts, the song was performed in a simplified version without the keyboard solo.
The song earned 58th place among the top hundred [[Rock music in Russia|Russian rock]] songs of the 20th century, according to [[Nashe Radio]].
== History ==
According to film director Sergei Lysenko who worked with the band closely while producing his short film "The End of Vacation", the song came about when frontman and lyricist Viktor Tsoi shifted his songwriting style from the "lyrical" songs on prior albums like ''[[45 (Kino album)|45]]'' and ''[[Eto ne lyubov...]]'' to more socially conscious songs. The song was initially released on a four-song demo tape given to Lysenko for the short film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-08-15 |title=«Кино» продолжается.

In 2000, sound engineer on Gruppa krovi [[Alexey Vishnya]] described of the song after performing it in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of Tsoi's death:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Воспоминания о Викторе Цое |url=http://music.kulichki.net/press/tsoy.shtml |access-date=2024-12-04 |website=music.kulichki.net}}</ref>
{{Quote|text="Zakroy za mnoy dver', ya uhozhu" is actually a song about me. That's why it was easy for me to sing it with the intonations that the author himself put in. He never had his own home and when he had a falling out with Maryasha, he lived either in Moscow with friends, or with Gustav or Kasparyan. I also left my wife and spent six years hanging out with friends."|author=[[Alexey Vishnya]]}}
=== Arrangement ===
Band guitarist [[Yuri Kasparyan]] stated that Tsoi consciously chose to implement a sense of "heroism"{{Explanatory footnote|Russian: героизм}} into the arrangements for [[Gruppa krovi]], which influenced the song's arrangement on the album towards an "absolutely danceable"{{Explanatory footnote|Russian: абсолютно танцевальный ритм}} rhythm in a contradictory [[Key (music)|minor key]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=КИНО - Группа крови - Звуки.Ру |url=https://www.zvuki.ru/R/P/8047/ |access-date=2024-12-04 |website=Zvuki.ru |language=en}}</ref>
Pianist [[Andrey Sigle]] stated that the final arrangement for the song, like others on the album, was focused on inverting musical norms at the time. He stated that [[Georgy Guryanov]] and [[Igor Tikhomirov (musician)|Igor Tikhomirov]] each suggested that he insert a Rachmaninov-styled piano piece into the song, resulting in him recording what he called a "completely creepy" keyboard solo.<ref name=":0" />{{Explanatory footnote|Russian: совершенно стремное клавишное соло}}
