His cameo at the ending of the film Assa is iconic.
Hochu peremen!
Перемен требуют наши сердца
I am not too familiar with their work, but that song “Summer is ending/Summer will be over soon” always gets me. Damn. I really love that one. I read that lyrics are typical Tsoi, so it’s abiut time I listen more.
Thank you OP for reminding me.
Btw, I am glad we are still enjoying Russian stuff, because lately there seems to be a lot of rejection of all things Russian (literature, music, movies…), no matter what time period.
Zvezda po imeni solnce..
One of my favorite, if not my favorite band of all time, Tsoï was one off the all time greats.
Tsoy zhiv
❤️ in our hearts forever!
