Everyone has heard these songs at least once in their life. The band Kino became a symbol of an era of change, the most popular band of the 1980s and 1990s. Their songs are listened to, sung, covered, and learned chords from. Everyone knows the name of the band's leader, even if they've never listened to rock. Viktor Tsoi—a poet and musician, an actor and artist, a legend and an idol for millions. A man whose music will forever be heard. 'Tsoi: The Story of a Rock Star in Letters and Pictures' is an illustrative nonfiction in which individual episodes from the history of the band Kino and the life of Viktor Tsoi are combined to create a picture of great changes, and each person's experience is unique. This book is a collective image, a metaphor for the era, a story about an idol of generations that will appeal to both teenagers and adults.
Anyone who has at least once in their life sung along with street musicians, sung 'The Eighth Grader' (about an 'airplane with a silver wing') in the kitchen, or perhaps even learned to play songs by the band 'Kino.'
