Kino formed in 1981 in Leningrad. Their songs focus on issues of freedom and tell of the beauty and mediocrity that permeated everyday soviet life. Due to censorship, early songs were heard only by small, private audiences, and thier tapes were copied and circulated illegally by fans. After 1988, as censorship fell, they had two years of unbridled fame until lead singer Victor Tsoi died in a car accident.
