With Tsoi Through St. Petersburg. A Guide: Addresses, Dates, Events

Lenningrad — the hometown of Viktor Tsoi. This is where he was born, grew up, and became a musician. In this book, we essentially follow Viktor through Leningrad of the 1960s-1980s. Here is young Viktor leaving his home on Basseinaya... Street and heading to school, here he rehearses with Alexey Rybin in a 'Khrushchyovka' on Cosmonavtov Avenue, here he attentively listens to his astronomy teacher at the technical school on Stoykosti Street, here he walks with his family around the neighborhoods of Veteranov Avenue... Behind every step is a story. Friends and acquaintances of Viktor, who kindly shared their memories, helped us bring the addresses to life. Therefore, the book can also be called 'Not Just Tsoi': it is about Viktor and the people in his circle, who lived 'to the fullest' at that time. Petersburg here is not just a backdrop but a full-fledged participant. We recount the history of the buildings and concert venues where Tsoi's voice resonated. In this sense, it is a guide to Leningrad of that era.
