After school, he entered a medical university, with the aim of becoming a neurosurgeon. During his studies, Skoptsov was engaged in amateur performances, was a secretary for the CPSU and an excellent student. On the other hand, his stepbrother, Sergei Turaev, was the exact opposite: he did not want to study or work, often stole and drank too much. At one point, the two brothers ransacked a neighboring cottage, for which they were reprimanded, but weren’t hindered at all by this. Soon after, they stole a car, and were rearrested. Skoptsov took the blame, and after a mental examination by the Serbsky Institute, he was declared insane, with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. He soon left the medical university, as it was forbidden for somebody to study as a doctor if they were schizophrenic, and so, he enrolled into a cultural enlightenment school. After graduating ahead of schedule and with honors, he entered into the Leningrad Institute of Culture. Among his classmates were Valery Leontiev, Tõnis Mägi and a number of other future pop stars.
