Encyclopedic overview
Igor "Yegor" Fyodorovich Letov (Russian: И́горь "Его́р" Фёдорович Ле́тов, IPA: [ˈiɡərʲ jɪˈɡor ˈfʲɵdərəvʲɪtɕ ˈlʲetəf]; 10 September 1964 – 19 February 2008) was a Russian singer-songwriter, best known as the founder and leader of the post-punk/psychedelic rock band Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Russian: Гражданская Оборона, lit. 'Civil Defense'), as well as the founder of the conceptual art avant-garde project Communism and psychedelic rock outfit Yegor and Opizdinevshie. Letov collaborated with singer-songwriter Yanka Dyagileva and other Siberian underground artists as a record engineer and producer.
Letov was one of the key figures of the Siberian punk scene. Posthumously, Letov has been called the "father" and "patriarch" of Russian punk rock, a "musical legend", and one of the most influential figures of the punk movement in Russia.
