"Kino" is a truly cult rock band that existed in the USSR and has gathered around itself a huge number of fans who remain fans of Viktor's music even twenty years after the death of the famous musician. But what is the Kino's discography, and how many albums of the group have been released over the eight years of its existence?

The Black Album got its name due to the fact that its first version was recorded by Viktor Tsoi himself and Yuri Kasparyan in a draft version. After the death of Tsoi, the musicians gathered and finalized the disc.
Thus, only 1987 became “albumless” for Kino, in which not a single new song was released.
