“It’s easy with you and me and you’re proud of me. You love your babies and your balloons, But at exactly 10 am your mother is waiting for you at home ”- lines from Viktor Tsoi’s legendary song “Eighth Grade”. Few people know that the hero of the song is a real prototype Her name is Jenny Yasinets, and at the time of meeting the singer she was 15 years old, she was a first-year student at the Leningrad Art College V. Serov. True, they say, Jenny did not see a strong resemblance to the heroine. In an interview she said: “I was 15 years old, Viktor was 20.
