When I was studying Russian three years ago with the hopes of going to Russia to work in Bible translation, my professor introduced me and my class to a number of aspects of Russian culture, including Russian film, history, kettlebelling, and music, and in the Russian music scene, this included an introduction to a guy you could have easily called Russia's answer to Kurt Cobain, in the form of Kino lead singer Viktor Tsoi. Like Cobain, he came at just the right time in the music scene to revolutionise the music scene in his country, and he died young. Unlike Cobain, he didn't end his own life, at least not deliberately, but was killed in a car crash in Latvia, having fallen asleep at the wheel doing 130 km/h.
But even though the Russian Korean had a relatively short career, his influence brought Russian rock into the mainstream of Russian music, and one particular track became an anthem of frustrated youth, in spite of the fact that Tsoi apparently didn't intend thus. His song "Хочу перемен!" ("I Want Changes," pronounced /xɐ'tʃu pʲɪrʲɪ'mjen/) took on a life of its own. And now, with the mess in Belarus, some 33 years after the song was written, it has done so a second time, becoming the theme of the growing dissatisfaction with the dictatorial government of Alexander Lukashenko.
