Victor Tsoi

Soviet times, 1986. The band Kino was popular. You knew all the guys from Kino, and you also knew Yuri Kasparyan's fiancée, Joanna Stingray. You'd been through literally everything with these guys—Georgy Guryanov, Igor Tikhomirov, Joanna Stingray, Yuri Kasparyan, and Viktor Tsoi. You'd just had some fucking eviscerations with Tsoi. Vitya was always picking on you, he was a jerk, a dickhead, and you'd had plenty of fights with him, but it seemed like Tsoi was never enough. Vitya might curse at you or yell at you, and he himself, along with Yuri, is a bit of a swearer. And today, you're sitting with the guys at a rehearsal in Gustav's apartment, calling Georgy Guryanov "Gustav" and that's it. And Vitya was always giving something or sometimes he was being naughty, like telling dirty jokes or something like that, and he was always fucking misbehaving. And Vitya was always pestering you.
