Wall Tsoi. Arbat, Wall Tsoi. Wall Tsoi in St. Petersburg

Victor Robertovich Tsoi was born on June 21, 1962. His hometown is Leningrad. He founded the legendary rock band "Kino", in which he was the leader. Choi played the guitar, composed lyrics and music, sang. He also managed to try himself as an actor, he played several roles in the cinema. On August 15, 1990, an accident occurred, as a result of which Victor died. His relatives that day did not suspect that the wall of Tsoi would soon be founded, which would become a place of pilgrimage for many young people.

Examination and funeral

The musician did not drink alcoholic drinks on the eve of death. It is established that he did not drink anything like this for the past two days. Cells of his brain were taken for examination, and it turned out that he just fell asleep while driving, most likely because of fatigue. The death of a famous rock artist shocked a huge number of his fans. Some fans even committed suicide. Not one thousand people visited the burial ceremony of the musician.

The basis of the wall, the reaction of the fans

The wall of Tsoi is located at the intersection of Krivoarbatsky Lane and Arbat, it belongs to building No. 37. In a sense, it can be considered a monument to a great man, who is still the idol of many music lovers. Every day Tsoi's fans come to him, sing songs from his repertoire, write on the wall about his love for his work. There are always a lot of people here. The year of foundation of this monument can be considered 1990, when the musician died. An unknown person left an inscription on the wall "Tsoi is alive!", And many followers of Victor followed his example. The fans mourned the bitter tears of the death of an idol, gathered in the afternoon by the wall, standing on the Arbat. They listened to the songs of the "Kino" group day and night, hanging Tsoi's portraits in their rooms. A photograph of the musician, the one who stood at the concert dedicated to his memory, which was held in the autumn, was then placed near the wall. There is also an ashtray in which the fans of the performer leave a cigarette lit and broken.

Act of vandalism, action in defense of the wall

People can not forget Victor, because he was a truly talented musician, poet and artist. A collective "Cinema" can rightly be called a cult, and it was made by Tsoi. Fans often review movies with Victor, as he was a very gifted actor. In general, nature generously awarded him with talents. In 2006, the vandals painted the wall. However, after a while the fans gave it the same appearance. In 2009, young people in the movements "Young Guard", as well as "Local", staged an action, during which they expressed their opinion that the wall should not be painted in any way. The point is that the authorities intended to do just that. Fortunately, this did not happen, Tsoi's wall survived. But for how long?

Discontent of officials, the offer to remove the wall

The authorities of the metropolitan area are still indignant at what is happening near the wall. Therefore, many people fear with fear that this monument, on which fans every day something to write, will soon be dismantled. Officials are dissatisfied with the fact that, in addition to the wall, all surrounding houses are painted. And indeed, so it is. In addition, some of the inscriptions have nothing to do with Tsoi. On the wall and around it you can see the following messages: "Greetings from Mordovia", "Happy holiday", "Lena, I love you". Even the fans sometimes resent this. The wall of Victor Tsoi must contain inscriptions dedicated only to him. Otherwise, it's already getting some pointless vandalism.

Officials believe that the wall should migrate to the worldwide network or to some other place. They also offer to transfer it to St. Petersburg, because this is the birthplace of Tsoi, where he spent his childhood.

Opposite opinion

However, some powerful ones categorically disagree with this. They believe that it is now impossible to imagine Arbat without this wall. It is a landmark, it can be compared with a monument in honor of Bulat Okudzhava. If you remove the wall, this street will cease to be such an attractive place for many Muscovites and tourists. And at the present time, people every day endless streams rush to the Arbat. The Wall of Tsoi attracts here, in particular, the youth.

Virtual Wall

Fans of the legendary musician are afraid that the monument will one day be demolished, so they want to make a copy on the Internet. The process is led by Elena Aseeva, a talented sculptor.

Last year there was a lot of talk about the time to clean the wall. Therefore, the site dedicated to Viktor Tsoi is not a bad idea at all, it will help to preserve the memory of it. It surely will appeal to the fans. A wall located on the Internet has some advantages over the real one. All inscriptions, for example, will remain there forever. But in the case of a real wall, this is hardly possible, because they are regularly covered with vandals, as well as officials. Unfortunately, these people can not be barred from such barbaric actions.

Tsoi's wall in the northern capital, collection of signatures

In the summer of 2009, the Tsoi Wall appeared in the northern capital, similar to the one on the capital Arbat. It is located on Nevsky Prospekt.

In 2009, 19 years have passed since the death of the rock artist. In connection with this date, a stand was installed near the cinema called "Aurora", the height of which reached six meters. On it every fan of the musician could write something. The collection of signatures was also held: people wanted the name of the leader of the "Kino" collective to be included in the list of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is in the US, in the city of Cleveland. It should be noted that to this day there are no Russian names.

"The last Hero"

Shortly thereafter, the premiere of Alexei Uchitel's painting "The Last Hero" was shown in the "Aurora". The film was to be released in 1992, when it was two years since the death of Viktor Tsoi, but work on it was discontinued, and then he completely lost himself somewhere in the documentary film studio in the northern capital. This picture tells us what the legendary musician means to us, how our souls respond to his work. And it is still in the hearts of many admirers, and Tsoi's wall testifies to this. Moscow is not the only place where such a monument should be, and it's good that people understand this.

In the tape there are footage dedicated to the walls, founded in honor of the musician. After the death of an idol of youth, such monuments appeared in many localities of Russia.

The film company called "Nevafilm Emotion" carried out restoration of the phonogram, as well as images, and transferred the picture to digital format. Soon after, the tape was shown in many cities of our country, Kazakhstan and Latvia. The wall of Tsoi, the photo of which you see in front of you, contributed to the fact that many became interested in the film as well. It looked a lot of people.

Theological Cemetery
