Viktor Tsoi and the Kino Group. Photographs. Memories

Natalia Vasilieva-Hall – a photographer of the Leningrad Rock Club since 1981 (membership card №13), the first editor of the underground samizdat magazine "ROXIE", starting in 1973, she photographed friends of rock musicians – "Aquarium", "Alice", "Zoo", "KINO", "Nautilus Pompilius", "Pop Mechanics". In 1994, she received an invitation to work for the magazine New Generation. She was the first Russian photographer to receive accreditation for photographing the Rolling Stones (Wembley Stadium concert, 1995). "Here, as in my previous books, you will not find any biography, discography, or official history of the band. This book is my personal impressions of meeting the musicians. These are my memories, and they would be absolutely subjective if it weren't for the photographs, which – by definition, from the word 'objective' – make my narrative an objective testimony of the era, through the eyes of a witness and participant".
