It was created in 2000 and named "Sobaky v kosmosi" (Ukrainian: Собаки в космосі, literally - "Dogs in the Outer Space"). After a long-term cooperation with Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan the band was renamed to "Zhadan i Sobaky".

Since 2008 Sobaky v Kosmosi has collaborated with a famous Kharkiv-based writer Serhiy Zhadan.
