30 years ago, the life of Viktor Tsoi ended

The material has nothing to do with military, military-technical and geopolitical topics, but Voennoye Obozreniye could not ignore this topic. Today, August 15, 2020 is the day of memory of one of the most famous Soviet rock musicians, the leader of the Kino group, Viktor Tsoi. Exactly 30 years ago, his life was tragically cut short. Victor was 28 years old.

Viktor Tsoi died in a car accident on August 15, 1990 at about half past midday on the territory of the Latvian SSR - near Tukums. His car "Moskvich-2141" collided with a bus "Ikarus". The police report indicates that Viktor Tsoi's death occurred instantly, and that the driver probably fell asleep at the wheel from overwork.

At the same time, the musician's mother noted that Victor could not sleep at the wheel, since the road was not long. According to her, the son could immerse himself in thinking about the new musical compositions he was working on then.

There are still conspiracy versions of the death of a rock musician, whom almost the whole country knew. One of these versions is related to the fact that Viktor Tsoi was allegedly killed.

The songs of Viktor Tsoi, even three decades after his death, remain popular in Russia and throughout the post-Soviet space.

The dramaturgy of his works finds a response in the hearts of all kinds of people. Among the most listened to compositions by Viktor Tsoi and, accordingly, the Kino group are “A Star Called the Sun”, “I Want Changes”, “Blood Type”, “Pack of Cigarettes”. Almost not a single day of so-called rotations on the country's music radio stations is complete without these songs.

Music critics note that in terms of the depth of the trace left in Soviet / Russian culture (music, poetry, cinema), Viktor Tsoi's trace can be correlated with Vladimir Vysotsky. The popularity of Viktor Tsoi during his lifetime can be estimated from the following episode: the fire in the Olympic bowl of the Luzhniki stadium was lit twice - on the opening day of the Olympics and on the day of the concert of the Kino group

Of course, I understand, the musical "idol" of the 90's generation and all that .... but to drag this here to VO? Well, come on, then celebrate the eulogies of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, as well as the fagot Freddie Mercury and others ... In addition, the dude was far from ambiguous - they talk and did not disdain drugs ...

So they had that age. A person grows, hears songs. Then he grows old and reproaches the young - "Here is a genius, and you are listening to the wrong ones." Children grow up, get old. And they already say to their children "Here is a genius, and you .....".
I had a neighbor - he was a fan of Tsoi, he wondered about cucumbers and a star by name. And figs you will explain that all the neighbors of Choi don't care about people of his age. Here "love and understand, but understand." Well, after all, everyone has their own songs.

Complain. I think you know how this is done ... I, I will not change my opinion. And the minuses under your opus only convince me how right I am.

[LiSiCyn]

I read the comments at the moment, and came to the conclusion that at least a part of the audience never listened to Tsoi. So I heard it, with the edge of my ear, without delving ... Union, Tsoi ruined ... All of us here, perfectly represent WHO destroyed the Union. These are uncles in their offices with a party card in their pocket.
And Tsoi, this is the street poet. He has all the songs about what surrounded him, what was happening next to him. By the years the albums were released, this can be clearly seen. Well, my opinion, in order to better understand Tsoi, one had to be a teenager when he was still alive. And live in a big city. But this is my opinion.

[Paranoid50]

Quote: LiSiCyn

you should have been a teenager when he was still alive. And live in a big city.

Live in That City Itself - then penetration is provided.
Although, for everyone, the understanding is purely individual, and everyone takes out for themselves from his work something of his own, often different from the meaning that was originally put into the topic.
How did it happen, for example, with the song "Changes", when all of a sudden (like me in my youth) heard the call to the barricades. Generally not a supporter of hymns, and perhaps because of this I have other preferences among Tsoev songs. They are usually found in albums "somewhere in between" the most famous ones, but this does not cease to be very powerful things. For example: "Legend", "Strange Fairy Tale", "Rain for Us", "General". Yes, you need to listen to about rain where there is a lot of it, where it is always.

[Sharky]

With all due respect to the work of Viktor Tsoi, I would not dare to say:

in terms of the depth of the trace of Viktor Tsoi left in Soviet / Russian culture (music, poetry, cinema), it can be correlated with Vladimir Vysotsky.

Having lived during Tsoi's life and did not find Vladimir Vysotsky at all, I can say that after downloading all Tsoi's albums and listening to the lion's share of his songs, Vysotsky's level was not reached (his albums were also downloaded and listened to holes). Lagutenko's work is much closer to Tsoi's, the same set of words without a definite meaning. Yes, perhaps the presentation style did not suit me, perhaps an amateur ... But, I will focus on how clearly Vysotsky's songs, understandable from the first listening, are clearly engraved in the memory, and how hard the texts of Viktor Tsoi are understood. Trainspotting has been reviewed recently, a great film. And Victor played there perfectly. But I could not understand his songs ...
Tsoi's creativity is far from for everyone. It is a pity that he passed away so early.

Quote: Observer2014

Yes, yes, the great poet - he composed something unintelligible about nothing and wheezed under two chords, three notes. He stood among the initiators of mass stupidity and stupefaction through the media.
Here is a typical example of the "great" poet's work, the song Aluminum Cucumbers:

"Hello girls, hello boys,
Look at me out the window and throw your fingers at me, yeah
After all, I plant aluminum cucumbers, ah, on a tarpaulin field
I'm planting aluminum cucumbers, ah, on a canvas field.
Three Chukchi sages keep repeating, telling me endlessly:
"Metal will not bear fruit, the game is not worth the candle, and the result is labor",
But I'm planting aluminum cucumbers, ah On a tarpaulin field
I'm planting aluminum cucumbers, ah, on a canvas field.
Evil white knee trying to get me
The knee stabs the veins in hopes of solving the mystery,
Why am I planting aluminum cucumbers, ah, on a tarpaulin field
I'm planting aluminum cucumbers, ah, on a canvas field.

And what could he THEN do? At that time, crowds of debiloids for chewing gum, sausage and jeans were crowding in line to the lump of the State Department and knocked on the asphalt with helmets taken from stupid heads. And television, in the process of Mishina's perestroika, developed to the maximum. Leaves, Lyubimov, Nevzorov tried to work off the 39 pieces of silver they received. I'm not even talking about Kashpirovsky and Chumak. Vermicelli then fell off the screens in armfuls. And a simple Soviet man in the street (I am also one of them) had no other access to information and ate what Misha-Judas offered him.

But not for this reason

In the summer of 1983, Viktor Tsoi was remembered by the Armed Forces of the USSR. Victor decided to "cut". Getting a psychiatric diagnosis was the only guaranteed "slope" out of military service. Therefore, in mid-August 1983, Tsoi scratched his veins and called an ambulance, after which he ended up in psychiatric hospital No. 2, located on the embankment of the Pryazhka River. The Afghan war was one of the additional reasons why Viktor was "mowing" from the army in a "psychiatric hospital “Viktor had to spend a long month and a half in the madhouse, after which he was discharged as a“ lawful Soviet psycho ”.

He sang songs, and nothing more. Moreover, "change", as he said it back in his school years, was conceived, and related to the changes between lessons.

[Paranoid50]

Quote: Narak-zempo

as he could, he worked for the collapse of the USSR.

The trouble is the trouble ... He wrote songs, played them, gave concerts and recorded albums, played in films. He avoided politics, while having his own opinion about what was happening. He had a dream: to build in the Union a large "Park of Miracles" like Disneyland - a big naive child, and nothing more.
Yes, in the last year "KINO" was caught in the clutches of the soviet (exactly like that) show-business in the person of the leaning back hustler with Aizenshpis's connections. And he enthusiastically began to squeeze all the juices out of the group, and did not stop his hobbling movements even on the mournful days of August 1990. I remember how he appeared in the courtyard of the LRC on the day before the funeral, and immediately began to make a fuss about expanding the sale of paraphernalia. True, under the threat of a bat, the muzzle immediately disappeared. I wonder if they met with Tsoi much later, THERE?
Somewhere from the second half of 1989, the group began to have a crazy "chaos" across the country. Moreover, in almost all large cities they played "wholesale", several concerts at once, sometimes two a day. Needless to say, most of the concerts were held in field conditions on "left" devices with random people as sound speakers. It was at that time that the axiom "Concert" KINO "- sound" was finally formed, although in previous years "KINO" did not sparkle in this regard. As a result, it turned out that people came to the concerts to look at Tsoi, and the songs ... they sang themselves, because they knew them by heart ..
According to Yuri Kasparyan, Tsoi had to give up performances, which Shpis drove like from a machine gun. That summer, Tsoi, Kasparyan and Tikhomirov barely found time to record the "blank" of the new (posthumous) album. In the fall of 90, they were supposed to go to Korea and Japan with a new program, as part of a cultural exchange ... Alas ...
But Choi still eventually got to the "historical" one, and his songs are known and sung both in the Juche country and in the south. Thus, his work is capable of unification, and not collapse.

[Ross xnumx]

How can I forget?

[loki565]

It happens. Just how long is it if Tsoi. For a long time it is "Sentinels on duty. Spring is in the city. Take us to the gate, comrade foreman ..." Therefore, I have the right not to admire Tsoi, when he began to sing - I was already an adult with my family and with my songs. Tsoi is more idol among the "seventies".

[Mountain shooter]

In tune with time. He sang - what he thought, did not adjust. This phenomenon is called resonance in physics. Coincided (in frequency) and the amplitude grows very strongly.

She, of course, brought fresh music, but the guys from LRC and before her applied to the work of Western performers. At certain points in his creative work, BG was completely similar to David Bowie - it was not for nothing that they later became friends.
As for "KINO", there is definitely influence from The Cure and The Sisters of Mercy. There is no "plagiarism", as some would-be musicologists like to whine, but the style can be traced.
Again, if you take The Cure, then in fact only a small piece was taken away. The final loss in Tsoev's song "Go away" is from Smith's Love Cats theme.
Regarding The Sisters of Mercy ... Damn it, I thoroughly know all the work of this team, and I can only say that their influence in terms of musical style is most pronounced on the "Blood Group" album. It was there that two Sisters' albums ("First & Last & Always" (1987) and "Floodland" (1987)) appear associatively and unobtrusively in different compositions. Something like this. And, I repeat, there is no question of any plagiarism, as perhaps someone wanted it.
Now a little of our time. Finally it happened. A 30-year period has passed since the death (this is how much, according to the law of our city, must pass), and now the installation of a monument to Tsoi in the park near the metro station "Veterans Ave." The construction of the pedestal began yesterday, the sculpture has already been brought. Why there? And Tsoi lived with Maryana nearby. Her apartment was located at 99 Veterans Avenue. It is physically impossible to put near the house, because the shopping center has been tumbled down. Yes, and the metro has a convenient place, every day I go there twice, so I know.
And no matter how much some local deputies would like to prevent the installation of the monument (there were attempts, with the involvement of "grandmothers"), Tsoi will stand there, and forever.

Music critics note that in terms of the depth of the left in Soviet / Russian culture (music, poetry, cinema), the trace of Viktor Tsoi can be correlated with Vladimir Vysotsky.

"Music critics", sample of the 21st century - compared a member to a finger.
Tsoyu to Vysotsky, like a murzik to a wolfhound.

[Shelest2000]

While Tsoi's songs are being sung - he is alive!

[CommanderDIVA]

Our marching song was "Blood Type", Tsoi's work expressed the thoughts of a whole generation at the end of the USSR era, this is his great popularity, his songs helped me in difficult situations, for example, "what do thousands of words mean when strength of a hand is important", if not made a mistake with the text

[Moskovit]

The memory of the people cannot be fooled. Where are the host of popular singers with hyped songs and millions in piles ... And the songs of Viktor Robertovich sound. And young people listen to them and sing. This is the most important assessment of his work.

[Split]

Victor is my childhood, at 89 I was at his concert ... Due to my age (8 years old) I could not understand the political context, they say he was against the system, etc. Delirium IMHO ... he expressed what he thought ... for, against, I do not care. His songs and music are a cultural phenomenon in the post-Soviet space. I listen and will listen, like Vladimir Vysotsky

[petrol cutter]

I agree. I have unbearable respect for Vitya Tsoi.
Except of course nostalgia for the years when I was young and relatively healthy. Plus not yet married !!!
About the changes.
Well, then everyone wanted a change. The question is which ones?
But then none of the population really understood this. The inspiration came only the day before yesterday.
I don't think that Comrade Tsoi had in mind the orgy that swept across the CIS with vouchers, liberalization, privatization and other "canoe" ...

[Slipper 2]

Vityok helped fuck a great country to the sound of two or three chords

[Svatdevostator]

Choi is very much related to military topics !!! Which military man didn't listen to the blood type ??

[UserGun]

Quote: Svatdevostator

Which military man didn't listen to the blood type ??

And what a military man did not listen to Lyokha Semyonov (Matov) in tanks ?!

[V. Salama]

It always seemed strange to me why he did not understand the meaning of the songs, the lyrics of which he wrote and sang, but the meaning of which was obvious to anyone who at a conscious age watched the chronicle of the Vietnam War on TV. When he was asked, in particular, about what it means "I plant aluminum cucumbers on a canvas field," he replied - "Well, nothing, just a breakdown of consciousness." But this is how the helicopter ammunition was laid out before the flight, this picture immediately surfaced in the mind. Yes, it was a troubled time and people were cloudy.

[Ramon Mercader]

I remember the news was announced on the radio.
He was a talented person.

[CommanderDIVA]

Tsoi, like Vysotsky and Talkov, had a presentiment of his death, such people are born to be remembered, we will remember ..

[Sergej1972]

Personally, Vysotsky and Tsoi are closer to me, while Talkov rejects a lot, there are elements of the conjuncture and some falsehood. Here are his lyric songs, without politics, I like.

[Danila46]

Talkov sang the truth about komunyaki, and therefore paid with his life. For the truth!

[Danila46]

"Show me a country where saints are humiliated ..."

[Sergej1972]

Yeah, I started singing in the late 80s, when it became fashionable and possible. And he died after the events of August 1991, when the CPSU was already banned.

[dima314]

Let's clarify ... Vysotsky did not die, but died from drunkenness, if not more. Choi crashed in a car as they say he was stoned. I just drove more than 100 where 70 go at night and passed out or failed and got into the oncoming lane. He was not killed in a duel or in a fight, but simply a slob in life. One of his companions told how Tsoi lived and worked in a stoker ... so also a complete inability to a normal life. but ... perhaps to create something meaningful you have to be abnormal)

[Narak-zempo]

Pachimu on this site is not deservedly forgotten YURA HOOY? !! 111

[GUSAR]

Victor is a real Russian poet (seriously).

[22 dmdc]

Poet, Russian - are you serious? They forgot to compare with Alexander Sergeevich.

[ddmitrij]

Tsoi is alive!
And it is true.

[Alex Justice]

Have you become a saint?

[Tochilka]

I can boast that I visited 3 points connected with Tsoi. This is the Wall on the Arbat, a street in the city of Noyabrsk, the Kamchatka bar-club in Leningrad.

[Moore]

As I visit those parts, I try to visit this place

Here is the road to one side of it (via google map):

here in another:

Visibility in both directions of the norms.
I do not believe that I was "thinking" ... I drove about 100 like. IMHO, just fell asleep

[VicktorVR]

His car "Moskvich-2141" collided with a bus "Ikarus". The police report indicates that Viktor Tsoi's death occurred instantly, and that the driver probably fell asleep at the wheel from overwork.

Did you go into the oncoming lane? And the speed exceeded not weak?

"About the dead - the truth!"

[miru mir]

time flew by quickly ...

[Danila46]

and flooded sovdepiyavskaya foam from all the cracks.
"Poets are not born by chance ..."
from I. Talkov's pestle (sp.) dedicated to V. Tsoi (sp.)

[Brave tailor]

For the Olympics, the fire in this bowl was lit four more times - during the XII Festival of Youth and Students (1985), the Goodwill Games (1986), the Moscow International Peace Festival (1989) and at the concert of the rock band "Kino" (1990). But the latter, of course, was very symbolic.
