He composed the scores for more than a hundred cinema and television films, including Sledstvie vedut znatoki (1985), We Are from Jazz (1983), Neznayka s nashego dvora (1983) and the In port animated film.

Early life and career
Minkov was born in Moscow, USSR. He attended the Merzlyakovki Conservatory School where he studied composition under Nikolay Sidelnikov.[2] He then studied under Aram Khachaturian at the Moscow Conservatory in 1964.[2][3]
He was awarded the Golden Pushkin Medal (1999) for "his contribution to the development, preservation and multiplication of the national cultural traditions, help and support of the creative intelligentsia, and development and forming of newer styles and directions in culture".
A song by Minkov based on the lyrics Invisible struggle (translit. Nezrimiy Boi - If somebody, somewhere among us, sometimes...) by Anatoly Gorokhov is featured in almost all the series. It became an unofficial hymn of the Soviet Militia. In 2001, he was awarded the MVD Russian Interior Ministry award for the music theme to the Sledstvie vedut znatoki.
In 2003, Minkov became an Honoured Artist of Russia.
