What does the label on the snake say?
It's a little fuzzy, but I think it says ЦРУ, which is the Russian spelling of CIA.
Do you mean the snake the capitalist holds in his hand? How did you make that one out?
Honestly I doubt very much that Viktor Tsoi would have that much to say about the CIA. At least none of this is ever reflected in his songs. He was very much on board with Gorbachev’s perestroika program (more freedom and democracy to the Soviet citizens), which would call for a normalization in relationship with the US.
Yo I have never listened to Kino, and I don't know anything about them. I didn't even know the Russian name for the CIA before I googled "ЦРУ". It is fuzzy, but that's what it looks like to me if that is indeed a label.
Edit: the letters are written in white
Ok i see it now. Wild if true lol. Not the Tsoi I know.
