History[]

Posledniy geroy was recorded in the studio of Valery Leontief in Moscow in January 1989, and was mixed in the studio "Studio du Val d'Orge" in the Paris suburb of Epinay sur Orge. At the same studio in November 1990, the "Black Album" was compiled. The release of the album was financed by Joel Bastener, cultural attaché of the Embassy of France in the USSR. The songs were chosen by Victor Tsoi himself: he decided to make "Best of" and insisted that the album was made in France. Having recorded the material in the studio of Valery Leontief, Victor gave it to Joel. The "Last Hero" included songs from "Gruppa krovi" plus new versions of "Electrichka", "Trolleybus" and "Posledniy Geroy (The Last Hero)", as well as the famous composition "Hochu Peremen!" It was released in France in April 1989 on gramophone records by the label "Off The Track Records" called. It was "Le Dernier Des Héros" in France while it was named "Последний герой". The single "Maman" was also released.

The design of the cover is based on the original collage of Victor Tsoi and Georgy Guryanov. During the album's work was the recording of the song "Blood Type" which was requested by an American fan as a translation to "Группа крови", was not included in the album. The song was released in the 2002 collection "The Last Recordings" along with the song "Question/Bicycle" and unreleased studio recordings of the songs "Knock", "Sadness" and others as well as a pun made by Victor Tsoi based in the band's name.
