Tsoi Jr.'s childhood
Alexander Tsoi was born in 1985 in Leningrad. The date of birth is the twenty-sixth of July. By this time, relations in the family of his parents Marianne and Victor were complex and conflicting. The baby was barely a year old when his father left the family.
The divorce was not officially filed, but the celebrity father did not stop communicating with his son, constantly visited him and took him to his place. At this time, the boy’s mother began dating another rock musician, Ricochet, who soon moved to live with them.
The son of Viktor Tsoi remembers little good about his childhood. The lifestyle of the mother and her partner was unacceptable for the child. From early childhood, Alexander saw constant drunken parties of his parents and equally drunken guests against the backdrop of loud heavy music. Of course, such a “creative” atmosphere within the walls of his home could not help but affect the lifestyle of the young man himself.
At the same time, he had to endure the biggest shock in his life - the death of his father, who was a shining example for Alexander. By the way, the last meeting of relatives took place in 1990, in the summer. They then traveled together to the Baltic states, where they celebrated Sasha’s 5th birthday. 10 days after this event, on August 15, 1990, Viktor Tsoi died.
Personal life of Mikhail Fridman
The oligarch is divorced. With Olga, his ex-wife, they studied in the same course at MISiS. The girl then came from Irkutsk to study. Olga is interested in interior design; in 2000 she completed the relevant courses.

Married to her, they had two daughters, Larisa and Ekaterina. They were born and live with their mother in Paris, and in the summer they usually go on vacation to St. Tropez.
The girls attend a school where teaching is in English. They communicate with friends and acquaintances, of course, in French, and with their parents in Russian. That is, the daughters of an oligarch develop mental flexibility from childhood.
Mikhail Fridman's children live abroad
Many people talk about Friedman as a hardworking and talented entrepreneur, prone to charity, who achieved everything on his own, through his own labor, thanks to his intelligence, and not theft. He finances the Life Line children's aid fund.
One of the most famous businessmen in the Russian Federation remains a non-public person and lives a secluded life. Today he is an Israeli citizen, lives in London, loves fast driving, cinema, music, chess, and collects samurai swords. His parents moved from Lviv to Cologne at the beginning of the new century.
Mikhail Fridman bought a house in France
In 2001, Mikhail purchased a house in the elite suburb of the French capital Neuilly, which previously belonged to the ex-wife of Alain Delon, model and artist Mireille Darc. Next to the oligarch's estate are the mansions of legendary actors Jean-Paul Belmondo and Sophie Marceau.
To recognize himself as part of the Jewish people, in 2012, Friedman, as part of a group of 12 Russian businessmen, made a three-day pilgrimage through the Israeli Arava desert to the holy city of Jerusalem. They spent the night in tents and traveled almost 20 kilometers every day.
Youth years
The son of Viktor Tsoi did poorly at school. According to some reports, the young man was not even able to graduate from school, escaping from his unbearable home life to the capital. At that time he was barely sixteen years old.
In Moscow, the son of Viktor Tsoi studied textile design, improving his knowledge in practice. Along the way, the young man learned English and became interested in computer programming.
Father's favorite songs
When Alexander is asked which songs of his father he listens to most often, he admits that among his favorite compositions are “Rain for Us”, “General”, “For You and Me”. In general, he listens to Kino music quite rarely, about once a month. More often it’s hard: the rocker’s son never managed, in his words, to “grow thick skin.”
And Alexander cannot get rid of the thought that enormous opportunities opened up for his father, but his untimely death prevented the implementation of numerous plans.
Viktor Tsoi’s career was cut short at the take-off, precisely at the moment when the group was filling stadiums, when discs were being released... It was planned to shoot the Russian-American film “Citadel of Death” with Viktor Tsoi in the title role, and this movie could have become a high-profile blockbuster.

Completely alone
At the age of 20, a new shock awaited the young man: in 2007, his mother died, having been ill with oncology for several years. In 2009, his beloved grandmother, with whom Alexander lived after the death of his mother, passed away. Marianne really asked her son to avoid publicity. Maybe that’s why Alexander Tsoi, the son of Viktor Tsoi (photo), leads a secluded life and tries not to meet with journalists.
He often withdraws into himself and refuses to communicate with the outside world. Alexander even changed his last name over time, taking the pseudonym Molchanov.
Alexander Tsoi, son of Viktor Tsoi: biography and creativity
Alexander Tsoi is the owner of his own club. He also has his own group, Para bellvm, with which he also performs, but only as a guitarist. He writes the music and lyrics for his songs.
The son of Viktor Tsoi now makes a living as a designer. All his friends say that he is fluent in English and computers, and draws beautifully.
Alexander Tsoi still tries not to give interviews and generally not have anything to do with journalists. But still, he has one interview in 2012, where when asked by media representatives about his father, the young man avoided answering, saying that he knew him too little.
It is known that in 2014, Alexander filed a lawsuit to hear a case of libel against Viktor Tsoi. The culprit who slandered his father was Yevgeny Fedorov, then a deputy of the State Duma.
This is how the son of the legendary Viktor Tsoi lives now.
Often on the peeling walls of old houses you can see different variations of the slogan “Tsoi is alive!” On June 21, Viktor Tsoi would have turned 55 years old. But the fatal car accident that happened on August 15, 1990 left no chance.
Nevertheless, Viktor Tsoi really lives in the memory of more than one generation of fans of his work. The memory of the legendary musician is honored annually in many cities of the former Soviet Union. True, few people know about the fate of the man in whom the blood of the leader of the Kino group flows - his son Alexander. This is the only son of Viktor Tsoi and his wife Marianna Tsoi.
Viktor Tsoi left his family early. Sasha stayed to live with his mother.
Everyone who once knew Marianna mentions her as a powerful lady with a rather tough disposition.
However, despite this, the woman was smart enough after the breakup not to interfere with the communication between father and son.
At the same time, Marianne took responsibility for raising the child. Tsoi Jr. was never denied anything: the boy studied at a prestigious school, studied English and drawing.
Alexander's mother did not grieve for long after Victor left the family and married the famous rock musician Ricochet. According to people who knew him well, he was very fond of sipping.
Noisy companies often came to Marianna’s house, so the boy got used to the noisy rock party from an early age.
Victor's last meeting with little Sasha took place in August 1990. Then dad took him on vacation to the Baltic states.
It’s not that Alexander dreamed of conquering the capital, but at the age of 16 the guy moved to Moscow, where he took up web design, programming and learning English.
After Victor’s death, Marianna Tsoi sued the Kino group for the copyright to her ex-husband’s songs and registered them in the name of Sashenka.
In 2005, Alexander's mother died of a brain tumor. The young man stayed to live with his grandmother, who died in 2009.
Alexander does not maintain any relationship with his grandfather, Robert Tsoi.
To hide from the close attention of annoying journalists and Tsoi’s fans, Alexander took the pseudonym Molchanov and, following in his father’s footsteps, began playing in the group “Para bellvm”.
In December 2010, Alexander married a very extraordinary girl, a historian by training, Elena Osokina. Later the couple had a daughter.
Alexander is not one of those who likes to bask in the glory of famous relatives. However, in 2012, he still decided to give an interview to journalists.
Alexander usually answers all questions about his father:
“I knew him too little.”
Apparently, he does not want the press to manipulate his words.
Today Sasha is the owner of his own club “da:da”, writes music and lyrics. He continues to lead a closed lifestyle, keeping the tabloids away from him and making a living through design projects.
I don’t know if you consider yourself a fan of the Kino group, but you’ve probably sung their immortal compositions with your friends on a guitar more than once. If this information was interesting to you, feel free to share it with your friends using social networks.

Film about father – Viktor Tsoi
In 2014, Alexander became an active participant in the filming of a film about his father. Tsoi Jr. not only took part in the filming, playing himself, but also performed all the computer graphics for this film. The music in the film was recorded based on the songs of the Kino group. The initiator of the filming of this film was film expert Natalya Razlogova, the last woman of Viktor Tsoi. For 22 years she kept a unique recording, once sung by Viktor Tsoi on a two-cassette tape recorder. This is the song “Ataman”, which has never been performed anywhere. Natasha realized that the time had come to present this composition to the attention of fans of the famous rock musician.
For the sake of filming this film, Alexander went to Moscow, lived there for three weeks and tried in every possible way to help in all organizational matters.
Personal life of Alexander
Alexander Tsoi got married in 2010. His chosen one was Elena Osokina. It is interesting that at the same time his grandfather, the father of Viktor Tsoi, with whom the young man never had a relationship, also married.
But Alexander Viktorovich’s friends believe that Elena has a negative influence on her husband. Recently, unusual photographs have begun to appear in which a young man is suspended from hooks. The son of Viktor Tsoi, whose photos surprise not only fans of his father’s work, but even his friends, tries to spend time in circles where hanging the body on hooks is considered the norm. By the way, the causes of masochism often lie in childhood experiences. His wife is also involved in torturing her body, who, most likely, dragged her husband into such understandable games. But Alexander Viktorovich also doesn’t say anything about his personal life.
All Alexander Tsoi’s acquaintances are surprised: he has completely abandoned all his hobbies and is busy only with this. But it’s a pity that such talent is wasted.
