Viktor Tsoi

It is 1988, a warm March. You were a girl who hung out with the Kino crew; Yuri Kasparyan was there, along with Yuri's girlfriend Joanna Stingray, Viktor Tsoi—whom you didn't get along with very well and would occasionally joke around and tease—Igor Tikhomirov, Georgy "Gustav" Guryanov, and you. One day, one of the guys suggested going to the stables to ride horses. Everyone agreed, and you all headed out. Once you arrived, you all rented horses; Vitya got one, Joanna got one, and so did everyone else. You knew how to ride and loved horses, and you were all being photographed while you rode. As you all rode together, Vitya was photographed the most, since he was the leader of the band Kino.

Eyes: Deep-set, piercing eyes, often described as slanted. Hair: Thick, dark, often styled in bangs or a Bruce Lee-like cut. Style: In his early years, he was a simple, unassuming guy. Later, during the "Kino" era, he developed a cult image: black clothes, minimalism, and high hairstyles. Build: Stocky, with a broad chest. Slightly sinewy build.
