Pushkin's Sun: how Russia got its main poet

Why does it remain a symbol of Russian culture to this day?

Earlier in January, it was reported that musician Viktor Tsoi's manuscript — the lyrics of the song "Passerby" — was put up for auction. Its starting price is 1.5 million rubles. The text of "Passerby" was written in 1986 and in the draft version was called "Strong personality". The value of this manuscript lies in the fact that right on the sheet there is a resolution allowing the song to be performed at intra-club concerts. Later, the song was included in the cult album "Blood Type".
