Popular culture

The "father of Russian punk" was Егор Летов, whose band Гражданская оборона, was popular among alternative music fans in the 1980s. He became a somewhat controversial figure in the 1990s due to his political views, which moved from being anti-Soviet in the 1980s to a seeemingly more sympathetic view in the 1990s.  Nonethless, he and his music continue to have cult status among many Russian music fans.  This video gives you a live performance of one of his most famous songs, "Всё идёт по плану."
