  • The only two clips (to my knowledge) of Viktor giving an interview in English.
    The first clip is retrieved from a 1986 interview, you can find the full clip here:
    • Виктор Цой - интервью ...
    (note that he only speaks English at the very last section, the rest of the interview is in Russian).
    The second clip is from a 1987 interview conducted by Joanna Stringray. You can find the full clip here (alongside a wonderful rendition of 'Лето'/'Leto'/'Summer' by the band):
    • "Лето" - Кино - Joanna...
