Samotsvety — Founded Date: Jan 1971

Note: The source text explicitly states 'Soviet VIA band formed in 1971' and lists 'inception 1971' as a statement with a reference. The claim specifies '1971-01' (January 1971), while the source only provides the year 1971 without a specific month. However, per the date precision guidance, a year-level date (1971) and a month-level date within that year (1971-01) are equivalent when the source does not contradict the month specification. The source confirms the founding year as 1971, which matches the year portion of the claimed date.
