Kino was a Soviet rock-band formed in Leningrad, Soviet Union. The original band, known as "Garin i Giperboloidy" (Garin & The Hyperboloids), after Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy's novel The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin, was formed in 1981 by Viktor Tsoi, along with Aleksei Rybin and Oleg Valinskiy. One year later they formed the group "Kino", which included Tsoi, Yuri Kasparyan, Igor Tikhomirov, and Georgiy Guryanov.
