One of the most influential voices of modern rock and the leader of the band “Kino.” Not a man of the system, but its opposite. His work spoke about freedom within the Soviet structure of the time, about choice, and the necessity of change. Through his songs, he inspired an entire generation not to be afraid to think for themselves. Songs such as “Peremen!” became a powerful force that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Because of this, some suspect that Tsoi’s death may not have been an accident… Viktor Tsoi — a heroic voice for the people and a symbol of the freedom to choose.
