Yegor Letov was a prominent Russian punk rock musician and the lead singer of the band Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Civil Defense). Known for his raw and provocative lyrics, Letov's music became an anthem for the disillusioned youth during the late Soviet era. His work often critiqued the political system and reflected the struggles of everyday life under a repressive regime. Letov's distinctive lo-fi sound and intense performances garnered a cult following, making him a significant figure in the underground music scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He remained an influential voice in Russian rock music until his death in 2008.
