29 years ago, on August 15, 1990, the life of the leader of the "Kino" group Viktor Tsoi, who became a legend of Russian rock music, was cut short. His songs do not lose popularity to this day, everyone knows them. But those, which were devoted to the composition "Eighth grade girl", "When your girlfriend is sick", "Baby", for many still remain a mystery. What actually connected the musician with those girls about whom he wrote his famous songs - further in the review.
Eighth grader
Even Tsoi's relatives did not know who this song was dedicated to, many believed that the lyric heroine was just a fictional character. But in fact, the eighth grader really existed, but even she herself found out that she had inspired the musician to create a song only years later.
Jenny Yasnets at that time was a first-year student at the Leningrad Art School named after I. V. Serov, where she entered after the 8th grade. The artist Andrei Medvedev, who was a friend of Tsoi, prepared her for admission. He introduced them, introducing the girl as his student, an eighth-grader. Subsequently, Jenny became a famous designer, opening her design studio in St. Petersburg.
Years later, Jenny Yasnets recalled: "".
However, many researchers of Tsoi's work have doubts about this version. Thus, V. Kalgin in the book “Viktor Tsoi. The Last Hero of the Modern Myth”claims that the musician began to communicate with Medvedev after this song was created. He is leaning towards the version of the guitarist of the "Kino" group, Alexei Rybin. He said that Tsoi wrote this composition after another romantic date with a college student Olga, yesterday's schoolgirl, whom he met at a vocational school, where he studied to be a woodcarver.
When Your Girlfriend Is Sick
The song "When Your Girlfriend is Sick" was included in the last, 8th album of the "Kino" group, although it was written long before that. It is called one of the most lyrical compositions of Viktor Tsoi and it is assumed that the musician dedicated it to his beloved. However, in reality this was not the case, and the author himself considered this song ironic and never took it seriously. "", - said Tsoi.
The song was dedicated to Marina Smirnova, with whom the band's guitarist Yuri Kasparyan met at that time. She was often ill then, the young man courted her, which is why he had to refuse friendly gatherings with the group members, who, of course, were unhappy with this. Therefore, the song was permeated with light irony. Marina Smirnova told: "".
Viktor Tsoi always treated Marina Smirnova warmly, but they were not linked by a romantic relationship. In the late 1980s. director Rashid Nugmanov invited the musician to play the main role in the film "Needle". But with the performer of the main female role, difficulties arose. The director suggested to Tsoi: "". And Tsoi offered this role to Marina Smirnova. She herself studied at the Faculty of Architecture and never dreamed of an acting career. Since they portrayed a couple in love on the screens, the audience decided that they had an affair in real life, although in fact they were tied by warm friendly feelings. After that Marina Smirnova played only in the new version of this film "Igla Remix" in 2010.
Baby
As for the addressee of the song "Malysh", the controversy continues to this day. There are several versions. In 1984 g.the musician married Maryana Radovanskaya, a year later they had a son, Sasha. But this marriage lasted only 3.5 years - in 1987 on the set of the film "Assa" Viktor Tsoi met the director's assistant Natalia Razlogova, with whom he began an affair. The musician's friends assumed that the song "Baby" could be dedicated to this particular woman, who became his last love.
Konstantin Kinchev said about Tsoi's relationship with his wife Maryana: "".
Tsoi was worried about the fact that he was forced to leave his wife and little son, hence, supposedly, the words "" appeared. He never officially divorced, and Razlogova became his common-law wife and spent the last years of his life with him.
According to another version, the song "Baby" appeared thanks to … the singer Sergei Penkin! The Kino group met him at a concert in Evpatoria, where he also performed. According to the musicians of the group, after this meeting, the song was born, which was "pure joke, and not lyrics at all." Yuri Kasparyan told: "".
Georgy Guryanov confirmed: "". And this song found a new life in 2002, when it was performed by Ilya Lagutenko. His version is called one of the best covers of Tsoi's songs.
A lot of controversy still causes and the mystery of the death of Viktor Tsoi: versions and assumptions.
