When everyone was shocked by the death of such a legend as Viktor Tsoi, a lot of rumors and gossip about his life began to circulate on the Internet. One of the most popular queries on the Internet was the question “Are Anita Tsoi and Viktor Tsoi relatives?” Since both artists are very talented and famous in the music industry, this question is on the minds of many.
The information that Anita and Victor are brother and sister began to be spread by many journalists after the girl became popular.
Anita Tsoi and Viktor Tsoi are relatives, sister or not: family relationships between artists
In fact, Anita Tsoi and Viktor Tsoi not only do not have common family ties, moreover, they did not even know each other. Tsoi is Victor’s real name. But Anita got this surname after she got married, that is, it is the surname of her husband. The singer's real name is Anna, and her maiden name is Kim.
As soon as Anita became popular, many journalists began to spread rumors that the singer was the sister of Viktor Tsoi. Although the girl repeatedly said in her interviews that they are not relatives, and she has nothing to do with the legendary performer at all.
But at the same time, she said that the songs of the Kino group, of which Viktor Tsoi was a member, are very close in spirit to her and very understandable in meaning. This is why media workers never cease to claim that they are brother and sister, or you can even see articles where it is written that Anita is the daughter of Viktor Tsoi.
“The hypothesis that Anita Tsoi is the daughter of Viktor Tsoi has repeatedly appeared in the press and made fans of both stars laugh. The fact is that Viktor Tsoi had an only child, son Alexander. In addition, the age difference between Victor and Anita is only 9 years,” fans of the performers share their reasons.
The family of the legendary performer leaves such rumors without comment, as they take them as insults to themselves and to the memory of Victor.
Although both Victor and Anita have Korean roots, they began their work in the music industry in completely different ways.
On the 30th anniversary of marriage, her husband gave Anita Tsoi a piano, and she gave him 15 acres of land
Anita Tsoi today pleased her followers on Instagram with a joyful family event: the singer celebrated her 30th wedding anniversary, which is popularly called a pearl wedding. For this occasion, the artist decided to organize grand celebrations at home in a “narrow circle”, which, however, included 57 guests. WomanHit.ru found out the details of the party.
For one day, Anita's country estate was transformed into an underwater fairy-tale world, where there was underwater flora and fauna, as well as pearls - a pearl wedding!
True, the preparation for the festival was not without problems. Since the artist herself, as you know, suffered from coronavirus and even had to spend some time in the hospital, the issue of safety was treated with special attention. Moreover, the artist has mothers living with her who are at risk. All invited guests and services taking part in organizing the celebration must take COVID-19 tests in advance. Incredibly, ten relatives tested positive, so they were forced to miss the family holiday. By the way, the tests were carried out again in the singer’s house. Son Sergei was appointed responsible for this, and he flew in for one day to congratulate his parents on their anniversary. As it turned out, the insidious virus made another attempt to penetrate the underwater world created by Anita. It turned out that the supposed host of the party had coronavirus! Anita did not give up and invited a second presenter. Incredibly, he was also diagnosed with COVID −19. As a result, Anita, who knew the whole scenario by heart, decided to start holding the holiday herself. And everything went like clockwork. Only at the very end did a third presenter join in, who turned out to be clear of the virus.

A large creative family took part in a homemade skit party. Of course, his main musical pearl was the hostess of the evening. However, the owner also found something to surprise his wife and guests. It turned out that for more than a month, in secret from everyone, Sergei Petrovich took guitar lessons and prepared a program of three classical works for the anniversary.
“There were also musical and dance performances from other relatives. While the elders played music, performed dance steps and competed in the eloquence of making toasts, Anita prepared special entertainment for the younger members of the family. Very little children made gifts for the “newlyweds” with their own hands. For older children, an obstacle course was set up, during which they had to find a magic pearl. In the courtyard they started a real game in the Zarnitsa tradition with lighting fires, setting up tents, drawing strategic plans of the area, chases, pyrotechnics and battles. However, many adults joined in the treasure hunt with undisguised pleasure,” the press service told WomanHit.ru.

And the treats here were not quite ordinary. For the finale of the holiday, the newlyweds chose not a traditional large wedding cake, but 6 small ones of 2 kilograms each, of different colors and tastes. With such an unusual presentation, the owners noted the variety of colors that each member of a large family brings into their lives. Of course, there is no wedding without gifts. Son Sergei presented his mother with a luxurious huge bouquet of burgundy roses. Numerous relatives also literally showered the couple with flowers, and they included household appliances, sets, interior items, and bed linen. In a word, real wedding gifts. By the way, they were all immediately transferred to the service for sanitization against coronavirus and only then took their places in the star’s house.

And, of course, the newlyweds themselves could not do without gifts for each other. As a result, Sergei Petrovich fulfilled two dreams of his beloved wife at once: he completely completed many years of renovation in the star house “Geisha” and decorated it with a luxurious transparent grand piano. He also presented his little mermaid with a magical “Pearl” - a sculpture by the world-famous master Dashi Namdakov. Anita Tsoi gave her husband a practical and forward-looking gift: 15 acres of land adjacent to the existing home territory. At the family council, it was immediately decided to build a miracle garden in it, at which the couple would certainly celebrate their golden wedding.
Anita Tsoi and Viktor Tsoi are relatives, sister or not: musical styles and career paths
Anita and Viktor Tsoi are very popular and talented artists who do not have common blood or family ties, the only thing that unites them is their love for the stage and music.
Also, in addition to rumors that Anita is the singer’s sister, the daughter, there are also many allegations that Anita is his last wife, who, after the death of her husband, decided to keep her last name.
But the girl at the time when Viktor Tsoi died was married to another man, and at that time she only dreamed of a big stage and fame.
Although sometimes fans wonder whether Anita could really be Victor's sister. All this can be caused by the fact that they hope that at least some memory of the performers still lives on stage. But in fact, Anita Tsoi’s work and songs are the complete opposite of what the singer himself listened to and loved.
Many music critics and ordinary fans believe that Anita Tsoi took her husband’s surname for only one reason - out of a desire to become famous due to her big name.
