Honest and substantive account of the history of the group “Civil Defense.”
The history of the group “Civil Defense” and the life of Yegor Letov is difficult to describe in detail and objectively. Letov so long managed to tangle his traces that studying his phenomenon becomes a hard—yet very fascinating—task. Along with it go excessive reverence and frequent direct speech, bold retrospectives and paradoxical associations, surprising preferences and subjective evaluations—presented as they are.
