Viktor Tsoy was like the fresh wind in the time when the USSR was collapsing. He was loved by many and died very young...

When I was a teenager I listened and sang songs of Viktor Tsoy.

There are many opinions about Viktor Tsoy - some think that he was a prophet and some even believe that he is god.

He wrote his songs in a way that was very different from the usual style of the music of that day. The words of his songs seemed to have some kind of special meaning.

This lens is about Viktor Tsoy and what he has accomplished before his tragic death...August 15, 1990.
