Ekatarina Velika (English: Catherine the Great; also called EKV for short) was a rock group from Belgrade, Serbia and one of the most successful and influential music acts coming out of former Yugoslavia. During its existence, EKV built up a devoted following that greatly intensified and expanded after the death of its frontman Milan Mladenović in 1994, which caused the band to dissolve. The group's core consisted of singer and guitarist Milan Mladenović, keyboardist Margita Stefanović and bassist Bojan Pečar, with other members mostly remaining for comparetively shorter periods.
Ekatarina Velika, initially named Katarina II, was formed in February 1982 following the breakup of Šarlo akrobata, the influential Yugoslav New Wave threepiece from Belgrade. Milan Mladenović and bassist Dušan Kojić Koja, driving forces behind Šarlo akrobata, had a falling-out that prompted the split. Koja formed Disciplina kičme, while Milan and guitarist Dragomir Mihajlović Gagi assembled Katarina II with bassist Zoran Radomirović Švaba and drummer Dušan Dejanović. The band got its name after Mihajlović's unrequited love, a girl named Katarina.
Katarina II's rhythm section was the first to depart in late 1982, with Radomirović leaving to join Du Du A and Dejanović joining heated rivals Disciplina kičme. Mango Kuštrin became the new drummer. In an effort to expand the sound, the band also decided to add a keyboard player - position filled by eccentric, classically trained pianist Margita Stefanović. Since Kuštrin stuck around for barely a month, Ivan Vdović Vd (Milan's old mate from Šarlo Akrobata) replaced him in early 1983. At the same time, Bojan Pečar was brought in on bass.
After much wrangling and personnel changes, the fivepiece of Milan, Gagi, Margita, Bojan, and Vd began a more committed work towards the band's debut album.
