Tsoi's childhood and youth were spent in the house with a spire — at the corner of Moskovsky Prospekt and Basseynaya Street. The "General's House" near the Park Pobedy metro station is visible from any point on the government route thanks to its 76-meter spire topped with a wreath and a star.

Having finished eight grades, and since Viktor was good at drawing and had a talent for other arts, he enrolled in the "Serov School." At the school, he discovered his talent as a musician and became a member of the band "Ward No. 6." Tsoi never graduated from the school — he was expelled in his second year for poor academic performance. Witnesses claim that his passion for music was partly to blame. Later, at his parents' insistence, Viktor enrolled in SGPTU-61, specializing in "Wood Carving." Viktor Tsoi's diploma work at SGPTU Photo source: Alexander Verestov/vk.com/club118447123

The "Elvish" or "Elf" garden got its name from the nearby café "Elf." In the 1980s, the café and the square were meeting places for creative people — representatives of the Leningrad underground. Artists, poets, rock musicians, philosophers, and simply hippies gathered in the square. Among them were Viktor Tsoi, Boris Grebenshchikov, and Alexander Bashlachev.

Like some "especially advanced" young men from the 80s, Viktor Tsoi decided to "dodge" the army. In 1983, he was admitted to this well-known city clinic for a month and a half. The doctors treated the young man without proper respect. The musician had to experience firsthand all the joys of Soviet psychiatric medicine.

"KAMCHATKA" of Tsoi in St. Petersburg, located at 15 Blokhina Street, is a place that still annually welcomes thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. It is a cult site for fans of Leningrad rock and roll. It was within these walls that many songs by the musical groups "Kino," "Aquarium," and "Alisa" were born. Now, a club-museum dedicated to Viktor Tsoi operates here.

Viktor Tsoi was a native of Saint Petersburg, and it was decided to bury him in his hometown as well — in Saint Petersburg. On August 19, 1990, he was buried at the Bogoslovskoe Cemetery. Finding his grave is not difficult; hundreds of fans of the legendary lead singer of the immortal band "KINO" make pilgrimages there daily.

A collision between a dark blue “Moskvich-2141” car and a white “Ikarus-250” bus occurred at 11:28 AM on August 15, 1990, at the 35th kilometer of the Sloka — Taley highway. Next to the car, a young dark-haired man lay, barely extracted from the cabin by the doctors of the ambulance that had arrived a little earlier. Without a doubt, he died instantly.
