To whomever made this a full-length article: thank you! I'm thinking about making the Kino page just redirect to this page. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.35.152.39 (talk • contribs) .

Tsoi died in 1989! My mother was pregnant at the time and I wasn't born in 1990 ;) I wasn't experimenting when I read it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.60.21.99 (talkcontribs) .

Sorry, but the Spanish, Russian, German and Korean versions of this article also say 1990. So do mirkino.net and kinoman.net; a recording of Tsoi’s last concert is being sold at [1] and [2] and dated 1990. Do you have sources that back up your claim and are reliable? Otherwise, your point of view would fail WP:OR.
I’m reverting to 1990 for now, because it’s (far) better supported, as far as I can tell. —xyzzyn 16:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Tsoy died in 1990- and I think almost everybody in USSR who was grown up enough at the time can remember what he/she did when news about Tsoy death came.

[edit] An interesting coincidence

Cui Jian (born 1961), "father of Chinese rock", is ethnic Korean, and he bears exactly the same surname as that of Tsoi's (hangul: 최, hanja: 崔). Cyon 03:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify

I think that article has wikifyed succesfully. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidik iz PTU (talkcontribs) 19:54, 30 September 2006


[edit] No political intention in the songs!

I remember an interview on TV shortly after his death, where Tsoi claims that his songs are often misinterpreted in the public and that he usually avoids political intentions in his poetry. In particular, the song "want changes", which was used widely for the perestroika movements, has nothing to do with it, he said. I wish, I could name a source for this interview, so that the political intention in the beginning of the article could be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.212.168.209 (talk • contribs) 04:47, 8 November 2006

[edit] "music listened by drug addicts and hoodlums"

First and foremost, thank you for the great article! On a side note, drug addicts' existance has been denied and ignored by Soviet media and the state as a whole up until 1986. There were no mention of them anywhere, even in the medical textbooks. Swiftsure0 (talk) 07:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC).
