Viktor Robertovich Tsoi

Igor was 24 years old in 1985. He had an open, slightly thoughtful face with soft, undefined features: fairly broad cheekbones, dark eyes, and a straight nose. His hair was dark, medium-length, and often slightly tousled. His appearance exuded a calm, restrained charisma—without any ostentatious outrageousness—which fit well with the atmosphere of the Leningrad rock club.
On stage and off, Tikhomirov gave the impression of a calm, focused person. He didn't seek the spotlight, but when it came to music, he devoted himself entirely to his playing. His bass guitar became an important part of Kino's sound during that period: his parts are featured on the albums "Blood Type," "A Star Named Sun," "The Last Hero," and "Black Album." He was open, without being overly reserved, which helped him get along with his colleagues.

Alexander was about 28 years old in 1985. He had an open, friendly face with soft features: rather rounded cheeks, expressive, not too sharp cheekbones, and dark eyes. His hair was dark, medium-length, and often slightly tousled. Overall, his appearance gave the impression of a relaxed, "one of the guys," without any ostentatious outrageousness, which fit well with the atmosphere of the Leningrad rock club.
On stage and in person, Titov gave the impression of a calm, balanced personality. He didn't seek the spotlight, but when performing, he devoted himself entirely to the music. His bass guitar became an important part of Kino's sound during that period: his parts are featured on the albums "Nachalnik Kamchatki," "Night," and "Eto Ne Lyubov." He was open, without being overly reserved, which helped him get along with his colleagues.

Yuri had a rather distinctive appearance, "exotic" for the Leningrad rock scene, largely due to his father's Armenian roots. His facial features were restrained: high cheekbones, a fairly large nose, and dark, thick eyebrows. His eyes were dark, with a slightly oriental slant. At 22, he looked young, but his appearance already evoked that same inner focus that would later become part of his stage persona. He was about 178 cm tall.
In 1985, Kasparyan most often sported a fairly long, slightly wavy hairstyle—combed back or to the side. This set him apart from many of his fellow rockers, who at the time tended to opt for short buzz cuts. He later experimented with shorter cuts, but in the mid-1980s, the long style was the dominant style.
On stage and in person, Kasparyan came across as reserved, even a little withdrawn. He didn't seek the spotlight, but his guitar playing spoke for itself. He was calm and unemotional, a contrast to the energy of his performances.

Tsoi had a very distinctive, memorable appearance, largely due to his mixed heritage (his father was of Korean descent). In 1985, this was clearly evident: dark skin, slanted eyes, and expressive, sharp cheekbones. His features were reserved, and his demeanor had that same "feline grace." His height, about 184 cm, made him a noticeable presence in any company.
In the mid-1980s, Tsoi sported a fairly short, neat haircut—his dark hair was combed back or slightly to the side. There was nothing flashy about his look: he didn't wear bright makeup in his daily life, although at some concerts of that period, musicians were already beginning to experiment with dark makeup.
Behind his outward reserve lay deep inner work. Tsoi was a discreet man, even shy in company. But on stage, he underwent a remarkable transformation: he completely surrendered to the music, energizing the audience. This duality—quiet and somewhat withdrawn in life, yet powerful and charismatic in performance—became one of the key characteristics of his persona.
