It became the legend of Soviet rock in the 80s, and his name and decades later retains cult status. "Group of blood", "cuckoo" and "pack of cigarettes" have been heard so far, and the song "Changes" and in a new time remains an informal youth anthem.
On August 15, 2020, it turned 30 years since the death of the leader of the "Cinema" group - Viktor Tsoi left his life in the last month of the summer of the 1990th. About curious information from the personal life and biography of the artist - in material 24cm.
1. Call sign - "unlucky"
In school, Viktor Tsoi from Odnoklassniki received the nickname "Chinese" - against the background of the cultural revolution that took place in those years, the details of which were covered in the Soviet media. And when the Eastern neighbor in one way or another conflict from the USSR, the boy with a specific eye cut invariably "flew" from classmates that young Viktor seemed to be bumbly.Such an attitude was one of the reasons why the desired learn to learn a self-defense guy was addicted to the films with Bruce Lee, although Mikhail Boyarsi loved more.
Then friends nicknamed Viktor Tsoi "One-legged Hendrix" - he was inseciously held on his two. That, fleeing from the police, break his leg, and then it is forced to walk with a wand. That the escalator will fall, clinging to the coat, and pants will bloom. And in general, the artist in life was not too lucky. So, for example, one day, absorbing jam directly from the can, ate a piece of glass.
2. Today in the "Monitor"
For the first time, Viktor Tsoi appeared on the USSR television screens in the early 80s in the "Monitor" transmission. But the young man was presented not as the leader of the famous group "Cinema", which at that time actually did not exist, but as the talented creator of small sculptures from the tree - Nethake. The musician, who graduated from the Leningrad Huduary of Serov SGPTU-61, in the specialty "Tree Cutter", was engaged in the manufacture of Japanese figures at a professional level.
3. Durge
In order not to go to the army, Viktor Tsoi went to the standard "Sleep" procedure through the receipt of a certificate in a mental hospital. It was required to cut the veins, threatening with close suicide so that those allegedly panicing caused an emergency room - in two weeks with a piece of manic-depressive psychosis, the patient turned out to be in the wild and to defend their homeland could no longer be afraid.However, an uncomfortable artist has dragged the procedure. Because of his own fear of blood, Victor did not cut the veins, but only scratched. Therefore, the attending physician, who turned out to be meticulously and suspecting something wrong, decided to bring the simulant to clean water. As a result, Tsoi stayed in a psychiatric hospital instead of half a 1.5 months and at the exit was close to returning to return to the newly abandoned institution without any presence.
4. Nuances of execution
Andrei Tropillo, Soviet, and later the Russian producer, engaged in records and promotion of the first in the Russian Union, recalled that it was hard to work hard. The artist constantly "took" in the vocal party higher than was required, and invariably ducked lips. The latter was at least on living concerts, but clearly heard on the record. We failed to study the musician from the habit of smack, so I had to acquire hygienic lipstick.
5. Through barriers and weaknesses
The first apartment of Viktor Tsoi in the capital of the Ukrainian SSR ended in sad. The event from the category not approved by the country's leadership took place not far from the building of the prosecutor's office. Considering this, between the appeal of the neighbors to the police department and the appearance of district time, there was extremely few, which was for lovers of such "creative" gatherings unusual. Usually organs closed their eyes to similar "chamber" concerts.As a result, Viktor was sent to Moscow - he was hardly possible not to earn an article for illegal labor activities.
It is said that at the living speeches, the artist was so laid out that every time the concert was put on the floor exhausted on the floor and a long time was just lying, coming to himself. It is entertaining that with such an emergency energeticness on the stage in the usual life of Viktor Tsoi, on the memoirs of friends, was distinguished by shyness in communication, especially with the opposite sex.
6. Brother
Shortly before his own death, the musician became aware that he had a brother Leonid, born in 1980. The boy was born thanks to the "made-up activity" of the father of Victor - Robert Tsoi changed the spouse with a woman named love.
7. Family
With the future wife of Maria Rodovanskaya, the 19-year-old artist met in 1982, being visiting buddies. The girl was 4 years older than Victor, but it did not prevent her to fall in love, and then, refusing to the office of the commander in the circus, become the administrator of the "Cinema" group. Wedding played two years later - in 84th.
For a long time, this union, in which the only son of Victor Alexander was born, can not be called - the couple broke up three years of living together, although officially divorce was not issued. In 1987, Viktor Tsoi went to Natalia, which became the last beloved singer and a poet, from whom the artist and lived to his own death.
