Fans of the legendary rock musician, remembering this, decided to celebrate his failed 50th anniversary on a grand scale. In addition to concerts dedicated to the memory of Tsoi, a number of different events took place.
The memory of Viktor Tsoi was honored in many cities of Russia and even in other countries.
