Today is the birthday of Viktor Tsoi, who was born in Leningrad in 1962. Tsoi was the lead singer of Kino, one of my favorite Russian bands. He died in a car crash outside Riga on August 15, 1990. 

Here is a website dedicated to his memory, where you can also download some of his music.

Here is a video of one of Kino's most famous songs, Gruppa Krovi, and here is a clip of Kino performing live.
