==Early life==
Anita's grandfather, seeking free education, emigrated from [[Korea]] to the [[Russian Far East]]. He, his wife and his children were later caught up in the [[Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union|1937 deportation]] of the ''[[Koryo-saram]]'' to [[Central Asia]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.kbs.co.kr/end_program/1tv/sisa/sunspecial/vod/1248974_3366.html|work=KBS News|publisher=Korean Broadcasting System|date=4 July 1999|accessdate=21 June 2007|title=아니타 최 – 어머니에게 바치는 노래 (Anita Tsoi: A Song For My Mother)|language=Korean}}</ref> Anita's mother was born in 1944 in [[Tashkent]], [[Uzbek SSR]], [[Soviet Union]] and successfully graduated from the [[Moscow State University]] and became a chemistry [[doctor (title)|doctor]].<ref name="rusradio">[http://www.rusradio.ru/artists/all/8883/ Цой, Анита .::. Артисты от А до Я. Музыкальный каталог .::. Русское Радио]</ref>

Tsoy's mother did everything she could to make her daughter educated in all kinds of arts [http://anitatsoy.ru]. Anita's favourite one became music. She began [[violin]] lessons at a young age; she later studied [[piano]], [[flute]], and [[guitar]].<ref name="MTV">{{cite web|publisher=MTV Russia|accessdate=21 June 2007|url=http://www.mtv.ru/idols/_a/anita_tsoy|title=Анита Цой (Anita Tsoy)|language=Russian|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070527101642/http://www.mtv.ru/idols/_a/anita_tsoy|archivedate=27 May 2007|deadurl=no}}</ref>

When Tsoy became an adult, her mother was branded a "[[Enemy of the people|class enemy]]" in the 1970s in response to her record of speaking out in support of [[Nobel Peace Prize]]-winning dissident [[Andrei Sakharov]]. For her dissent, she was briefly committed to a mental institution and became a permanent invalid.<ref>[http://persona.rin.ru/view/f/0/35962/coj-anita ЦОЙ Анита, фото, биография].

After leaving school Tsoy attended the [[normal school|teacher training college]], then law school at [[Moscow State University]], where she met her husband [[Sergey Tsoy]].

==Career==
After graduation, rather than becoming a teacher or lawyer, she began saving up money in order to launch a singing career, while her husband began working as a press secretary for [[Moscow]] mayor [[Yury Luzhkov]] in 1994. Her first album ''Polyot'' (Полёт; ''Flight'') was released in 1997; she kept it a secret from her husband until after she had already signed the contract with her production company.<ref name="NI"/><ref name="Sergey">{{cite web|publisher=Arirang.RU|accessdate=23 January 2006|url=http://arirang.ru/biografy/choi_sp.htm|title=Цой Сергей Петрович (Tsoy Sergey Petrovich)|language=Russian}}</ref>

In 1998 her second album, named "Черный лебедь" ("The Black Swan") was released and in 1999 a concert show "Черный лебедь или храм любви" ("The Black Swan or a Love Palace") was held in the concert hall "Rossiya". This show was accepted as "Best Show of the Year" and Anita won an "Ovation" She went to the [[United States]] in 2003 to record an [[English language|English-language]] album, where she worked with cinematic composer [[Lee Holdridge]]; while there, she was offered a five-year contract as a solo vocalist in the [[Cirque du Soleil]], but turned it down in order to return to Russia and be near her family.<ref name="MTV"/>

She records her third Russian dance solo-album "1000000 минут" ("1000000 Minutes") in 2003, which was introduced to public in the "Elevator" club, a former factory in Moscow. In 2005 a major show-concert "ANITA" was held in the "Rossiya" Concert Hall, Moscow, featuring high technology decorations like large LCD-screens and fountains on the stage. The show was considered to be one of the most successful ones in Russia and was released on DVD by [[Universal Music]].{{citation needed|date=February 2016}} Tsoy recorded her fourth album "На восток" ("To The East") in 2007 and changed her image greatly since the 2003; she turns to [[manga]]-[[anime]] style. In autumn of the same year she performs with her "To The East" show, which attracted more than ten thousand people. Following the show, the DVD-recording of this live concert was released.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}

Both "ANITA" and "To The East" shows are considered to be one of the best live-performances in Russia and the recordings of these concerts were shown on [[Channel One (Russia)|Channel One]], [[Muz-TV]] and other influentable Russian channels.<ref>[http://www.starstory.ru/novosti_-_polnoe_opisanie/NewsCategory/DVD-novinki/News/SHou-programma_Anity_Coi_Anita_na_DVD/ Анита Цой Шоу-программа Аниты Цой «Анита» на DVD].
