In the 1980s Russia was in love with a popular singer and songwriter Victor Tsoi. Unfortunately, he tragically died at the age of 28, but he still has lots of fans who love and remember his songs. On August, 15th there was 20-years anniversary of his death and his true fans gathered at his memorial wall.

The music is good (yeah you can tell it’s 80’s), but the true genius was in the meaning of his words. It is no wonder that it was rumored that KGB did him in, though most likely it was just an accident.
OK kids… he’s been dead a while now. Time to move one. (and maybe get a life of your owm)
It is sad to say the youth in these pictures show our future. Perhaps the Soviet times weren’t all that bad.
victor tsoi ruled.
this reminds a lot of like some Elvis fans.
I think you will find Elvis fans are a tad more better looking than these scum!!!
Haha 4th photo.
i thought V.Tsoi was against drugs. remember that movie “Igla”?? how ironic…
Wow, he left behind some great music. I’m finding all kinds of great stuff on YouTube. Had never heard of him before. Thanks for the post!
Viktor Tsoi has been characterized as the Russian Jim Morrison. I would agree with this. One cannot listen to KINO and not realize that he was the voice of a new generation. This is why he was (IMO) killed. I’ve been to his grave in the Piscaryovka cemetery and on any day you will find people there paying tribute to him and his songs.
actually Tsoy was not killed… he died in car accident… through his own fault… it was already proved
Arguably a very decent musician, but Tsoi is (was) only 1/2 Russian, and most of his “fans” (in these photos) were not yet born at the time he died.
Socialist Realism or Capitalism?
Socialist realism is: it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because, the people don’t have to. SO, they can get drunk and make more unwanted kids everyday.
punksnotdead
number 4 has a nice rack
Tsoi lives
i don’t understand any russian language but this guy’s music was amazing…reminds me of U2 sometimes.
They should mourn for themselves. The future of Russia is very sad judging by this generation.
pretty sure that Russia is the only country that nut jobs aren’t hauled away. Good god it’s sad to see such young faces look so hardened. These kids act like they have nothing to live for.
The dude in pic 9th from bottom plays guitar with his band outside of arbatskaya station all the time.
So many generalizations in here… you find such people in every big city! And Viktor Tsoi’s Korean heritage doesn’t make his lyrics any less powerful. I can’t say what they mean to kids today, but they were certainly important in their time.
Just like Jim Morrison over here.
yes-yes, exactly! just like Jim Morisson.
There are 2 pics of a guy with his head on a lady’s lap. He should be careful, he could get a black eye!
god damn……….
its so amazingly horrible!!!
when i saw it, i thought i gonna puke((((
just use a nuclear weapon to kill them all!!!
I love Tsjoi. I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUTCH!
And he was so incredably intellectual, what a man!
Russia’s finest ?
Although these young people look a bit silly, I can understand their feelings. I was a teenager when James Dean, and later Buddy Holly were killed. May they rest in peace.
He died in Latvia.

Tsoi`s alive! Pay attention to the 7th proto – it`s a priest (batushka). Tsoi`s fans are very different, i love him since i was 1 year old (and i dont drink, dont paint it black and dont sleep on the street). His poetry is very deep. He was a genious, for real.
And by the way, hi`s not a popular singer. His music sounds more like.. minimal of some kind. Though, in Russia they call it rock.
Vremya est`, a deneg net i v gosti nekuda poiti!
(Have time, but dont have money and a place to go).
What’s with the red faced woman in picture 20 and 21. I have never seen a white person turn that shade of red.
The age of Flower Children and then KISS has just been relived in Russia, they are not far behind us and they will transform as we did hopefully with a creative note!
I work in the criminal police in Moscow and I can say that many of the photos were random people that have no relation to the creation of Viktor Tsoi. At 12, 20 and 21 pictures for homeless drug addict 6 photos, 18 bag handouts. On the day of the death of Choi Street. Arbat come a lot of people that are homeless polzuyutsya free drinks, begging for money. Among those whom you do not see on these pictures politicians, teachers, doctors, and many good people, they do not go to such events, but the love songs of Victor Tsoi. Victor songs with deep meaning, he always struggled with alcoholism, drug addiction and other negative aspects of life can be understood only by knowing the Russian language, the translation will ruin the song. Sorry for my bad English.
