Alexander Tsoi is a Russian rock musician, singer, actor and composer. A celebrity has not the easiest creative path. Alexander is the son of the cult Soviet rock singer Viktor Tsoi, and, of course, they have high hopes for him. The artist prefers to remain silent about his origin story, as he does not like to be viewed through the prism of his legendary father's popularity.
The childhood and youth of the artist Alexander Tsoi
Alexander is the only child of Viktor Tsoi. He was born in 1985, almost immediately after his parents decided to legalize the relationship. The musician's family album contains several photos with the famous father.
Viktor Tsoi left the family when the boy was only two years old. During the filming of the movie "Assa", he met film critic Natalia Razlogova. And he fell in love with a woman, decided to leave his legal wife.
When Alexander Tsoi was 5 years old, the musician died in a car accident in Latvia. At the age of 7, the boy, along with his mother Marianna Tsoi, starred in the film by Alexei Uchitel "The Last Hero". But, unfortunately, in the memory of the son, the memories of his father are very “blurred”.
Alexander's mother was repeatedly accused of deceiving her husband and that Victor was not the biological father of the child. For example, rockers such as Alexei Vishnya and Andrey Tropillo are considered the biological father of Sasha Alexander Aksyonov, who performed under the creative pseudonym Ricochet. The widow of Viktor Tsoi has openly lived with a man since 1990. Director Rashid Nugmanov, who was close friends with Viktor and filmed him in the movie The Needle, considers such statements to be speculation.
In childhood and adolescence, Sasha was perceived as the son of a popular rocker. Nobody wanted to see him as a person. This influenced the fact that Choi Jr. became withdrawn and did not want to communicate with people.
Alexander was reassured by Lego constructors. He could collect them for hours. The young man graduated from school as an external student. After graduation, the guy focused on web design and learning English. To separate his name from the name of his father, Alexander took the pseudonym Molchanov.
