15 August 1990. Viktor Tsoi, the Soviet Union’s most famous rock star, leader of the band Kino, a symbol of freedom and change, dies in an accident on a Latvian highway.

Wiki.
Tsoi (Russian: Цой; working title - 47) is a 2020 Russian feature film directed by Alexei Uchitel, a joint production of Russia, Lithuania, and Latvia, telling the story of how a car accident (which resulted in Viktor Tsoi's death) participant carries the singer's coffin from Jūrmala to Leningrad (modern Saint Petersburg). However, there is no character named "Viktor Tsoi" in the movie. "There isn't even Tsoi in the Tsoi"— said "Komsomolskaya Pravda",: while a review by "Argumenty i Fakty" was titled "Tsoi without Tsoi".
