Igor Vladimirovich Talkov (Russian: ?´???? ?????´??????? ??????´?; 4 November 1956 – 6 October 1991), was a Russian rock singer-songwriter.He is often compared to another Russian singer and songwriter of that time, Viktor Tsoi, whom, according to his diaries, Talkov highly appreciated and to whom he even dedicated a song on his death.
Talkov's songs also have much in common - particularly from a lyrical perspective - with Russian bard music.
