A portrait of Tsoi is painted in St. Petersburg

The authorities of St. Petersburg intend to paint over the huge portrait of Viktor Tsoi, which appeared on the eve of his death on one of the houses in the city center.

Black and white graffiti on the transformer substation between the houses on the street of the uprising street, 8, and 5 Lightovsky Street, was created by artists from the Belarusian art group Hoodgraff .

The press service of the administration of the Central District of St. Petersburg "Interfax" reported that Tsoi is shy to be eliminated. “Apparently, they [the authors] had to think in advance and coordinate painting. If it is not agreed, the city will issue a decision to eliminate the drawing, ”the press service explained.

“It would be impossible to agree on this in advance. We arrived to give the city a gift. They want to paint over - let them paint over, we will draw more, ”commented one of the authors of the portrait.

Victor Tsoi died in a car accident on August 15, 1990.

PS according to ITAR-TASS , the acting governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko called the head of the Central District Maria Shcherbakova and asked not to paint a portrait of Tsoi.
