Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Гражданская Оборона) - Chelovek cheloveku volk

This is "Chelovek cheloveku volk" of the Vsyo idyot po planu (Everything Goes According To Plan) album by Grazhdanskaya Oborona or Civil Defence, first released on cassette in 1988. Although not the first, Grazhdanskaya Oborona was undoubtedly one of the most famous punk bands from Russia. The band played noisy punk rock with folk influences, although later incarinations of the band had more of a psychedelic sound.

Frontman, Yegor Letov, was a controversial figure until his death in 2008. While he critizised the Soviet system and militarism in general in his earlier days, he founded the National Bolshevik Party in the 1990s, a somewhat nostalgic nationalist communist party, despite his statements in the past.

Yegor Letov also started side-projects such as Kommunizm and Egor i Opizdenevshije, experimenting with industrial and psychedelia. He also collabrated with Russian folk-punk legend Yanka Dyagileva whom he had a relationship to in the late 1980s.

This is a part of my series on underground rock in the Soviet Union. I'm uploading a lot of music from this period so please keep watching!

This song is about hate, about the relations to a life, to government, human relations in the USSR and modern Russia too((( Sad.....

Thanks for video...

[CAPITALISTagenda]

No problem mate!

[KoivuTheHab]

!!! I have a different version of this! Had not heard this before, many thanks!

[CAPITALISTagenda]

You're welcome mate!

This song is not about the relationship of people in the USSR. Rather, it is more suitable to describe the modern relationship of man to man in the world. In the USSR, man to man was a friend, comrade and brother. It is now unfortunately ... Homo Homini lupus est ...

@therealLoafers Sarcasm? Maybe i'm stupid, but completely did not get it. Anyway, i was in bad mood, sorry then...

[therealLoafers]

@ratmann87 I'm not sure, did you get the sarcasm? 

[ratmann87]

@therealLoafers Shut your fucking mouth you scum. You know nothing about Letov and G.O., so stick your speculations in your ass. And what you have against sharing? Pitiful victim of rotten american propaganda...

[therealLoafers]

Fucking commy scum. It should be burned at the cross because sharing is evil and so is punkrock and anything Russian. I hate this song >:(

[Georgiew1]

@merit05 Homo homini lupus.
