      Many people in Latvia respect Tsoi, and his fight against the Soviet Union. That’s also the likely reason he died. Sabotage. True hero of the peoples.

      He was a great musician, but its not something I regularly visit. Just if Im driving past its nice to stop.

      Most of the people in my circles know.
      He is somewhat legendary if you look at whole USSR underground and his life.

      Well, Russian speakers, of course. Probably, older generation of Latvians who grew up in Soviet time know. Otherwise, if Latvian speaks Russian and likes Кино then, of course, he has visited if he has chance.

      Drive near frequently and almost everytime someone is there. Im suprised to be honest. Just today went by two times both times different people there.

      I suppose non-Russian speakers wouldn’t get it, but those who do know. Tsoi was a genuinely talented and visionary musician who opposed the war and the Soviet system, though he kept it subtle in his lyrics. He even learned English, so many believe he was thinking about leaving. It’s honestly disgusting how todays Russian regime tries to claim him and twist his songs into their pro-war narrative. They treat him like a state-approved legend while ignoring everything he actually stood for. He would have been strongly against current wars just like Yuri Shevchuk of DDT.

      Gen Z latvians doesn’t even know him.
      Older latvians knows him but still this is quite big russian thing.

      Russians do visit the place frequently, leaving flowers and playing guitar there. Doubt the Latvians are involved though. Kino is a perestroika child, by that point the nations were completely separated.

      I know the band and i know who he was but didn’t know he died in Latvia

      Do Latvians visit Viktor Tsoi’s memorial – No, why should we? It’s unfortunate he died but he has no ties to Latvia, so why should we care.
      How many people know that he died in Latvia – I only know because I’ve been driving that road for many years. Maybe older gen people know him, but younger generation don’t know and don’t give a F, realistically speaking.

      I respect great artists and been there several times, but unfortunately he was Russian. I really don’t like to read or listen to Russian language when I don’t need to. I do know Russian well, but I don’t want to it. For better or worse.

      Im not that old, same age as regained latvian independence. He was a very talented musician. I live nearby and drive past this place time by time. There’s always people there and fresh flowers.
      I have respect for him as I’m a musician aswell. I know his story and that’s about it

      Many latvians know where he died and who he was, but usually they don’t visit the memorial. I heard from many latvians calling that road the Coja ceļš (Tsoy road).

      To elaborate more, for latvians there’s really no reason to visit his memorial for purpose – he’s not a part of latvian culture, he just happen to have died here. He’s much more important for russian culture, but is quite insignificant for latvians.
