"Smotri – eto kino..." (Russian: Смотри – это кино..., meaning "Watch – It's a Movie..." in Russian) is conceived as the last known recording by the Russian-Korean (Koryo-saram) musician Viktor Tsoi. The title is a pun with the name of Tsoi's band Kino.

History

[edit]

The song was written and recorded by Tsoi sometime in 1990. The song, however, was not fully recorded, according to the liner notes of the album which state: "Unfortunately, the final track was never fully recorded". It consists of Tsoi and Tsoi alone on vocals and acoustic guitar.

The fragment was later re-recorded and released on the compilation Poslednie zapisi (or "The last recordings") in 2002.[citation needed]
