Pasha Tech's Legacy: A Residential Building Misleadingly Dubbed a "History Museum"
Krasnodar Police Discover Property Belonging to Pasha Technik
News about the untimely demise of Pasha Tech, a 40-year-old rapper, sent shockwaves through his fanbase. His death on April 4 was attributed to severe bacterial pneumonia leading to septic shock. Known for his unconventional behavior, drug addiction admissions, and ironic song lyrics, Pasha Tech left an indelible mark on the media landscape.
Posthumous revelations from his biography unveiled a surprising act of charity: he had secretly donated money to Russian servicemen, as letters of gratitude discovered among his belongings confirmed. Despite this, the performer, known as Pavel Ivlev in reality, didn't publicly discuss his philanthropic deeds.
In mourning, Pasha Tech's fans found creative ways to honor their idol. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, they tagged walls with graffiti depicting the rapper in the iconic monkey mask and posted images online. Some even defaced art objects honoring Viktor Tsoy, adding memorabilia and signatures to pay tribute to their internet meme hero.
In Krasnodar, a building allegedly named after Pasha Tech was spotted on Google Maps, located on Gagarin Street in the Festival Microdistrict. While it seems to house a "history museum," further investigation reveals it to be just a residential building. The only evidence of such a cultural institution being established there is a single positive review on the map.
- "Totally incredible place," reading the comment.
The phenomenon of renaming objects on digital maps began in 2018, with Russian schoolchildren noticing the option to edit names on Google Maps. This led to a flash mob where inventive labels like "Chocolate Bar" were added to everyday items.
We previously reported on a school in Krasnodar's center, which had transformed into an "Armenian Wave School" of sorts. The school's official page morphed into a platform for students to share photos and memes from their school days.
