Posledniy geroy (Russian: Последний герой, lit. 'The last hero'), initially released in France as Le Dernier Des Héros, is a compilation album by Soviet rock band Kino. While it contains rerecorded versions of many of their songs, the album is most notable for containing one of the band's most famous songs, "Khochu peremen!" (Russian: «Хочу перемен!», lit. 'I want change!'), which became a Perestroika anthem. The album was first released in France due to the band's newfound popularity abroad, and was later released domestically in the Soviet Union in 1991.
