Viktor Tsoi (1962-1990) is a musician, author of many songs, actor and artist who became a true legend of the 1980s. Tsoi's talents showed up already in kindergarten: he drew well and, moreover, could easily repeat any melody, even the most complex, tapping the beat with his palm. In the 1970s, Choi first participated in a rock project - the band "Chamber No. 6" – where he played bass guitar. In the summer of 1981, Tsoi performed on stage for the first time in the Leningrad cafe "Tryum". It is believed that after these concerts, the group "Garin and Hyperboloids" was formed, which soon changed its name to "Cinema". The band released its first album in 1982. It was called "45" – that's exactly what, 45 minutes, was the total duration of all the songs of the album. After performing at the Leningrad Rock Festival in 1984, Tsoi's song "I declare my house a nuclear-free zone" was recognized as the best, and the band itself became the winner of the festival. The songs of the festival program were later released as a separate album: it was called "The Chief of Kamchatka". At the 1985 rock festival, the Kino group performed triumphantly again. Inspired by the success, Choi, together with the musicians, began recording the next record. Soon the album "This is not Love" appeared, which was distributed throughout the Soviet Union. The name of Viktor Tsoi became known to young people. Viktor Tsoi not only wrote and sang songs, but also acted in films. His film debut was the thesis of director Alexey Uchitel – the documentary "Rock". Later, Choi was invited to shoot more and more often. He starred in the films "Yya-Kha" by Rashid Nugmanov, "Assa" by Sergei Solovyov. In Nugmanov's film "Needle", the musician played the main role. During the year, the film was watched by more than 14 million Soviet viewers, and the magazine "Soviet Screen" recognized Viktor Tsoi as the best actor of 1989. In parallel with music and filming, Viktor Tsoi continued to draw. He was a member of the New Artists group, which addressed the heritage of the avant-garde of the 1920s and foreign projects – pop art, comics, graffiti by American artists. This also affected the works of Viktor Tsoi – bright, expressive, with deliberately simplified forms. He did not have his own workshop, and he painted wherever he had to and on what he had to. Often – on pieces of paper, cardboard and even polyethylene. However, for Soviet youth, Viktor Tsoi was primarily a rock legend. After the release of the album "Blood Group", Choi's songs sounded in every yard, on every apartment. Many young people imitated the frontman of the Kino group in their manners and even began to dress "like Tsoi". In the spring of 1989, the album "A Star named the Sun" was released – the only record that the musicians of the Kino group recorded in a professional studio. On August 15, 1990, a Moskvich, driven by Viktor Tsoi, crashed into a bus at high speed. The last record of "Cinema" called "Black Album" was released after the death of the band's frontman. On August 15, fans of the rock band celebrate Viktor Tsoi's Memorial Day.
