Poganaya molodyozh'
Poganaya molodyozh (, "Nasty/Filthy Youth") is the first studio album by the Russian band Grazhdanskaya Oborona. The album was released in 1985. It was recorded concurrently with its follow-up "Optimizm". Even though the copyright date on the album states 1985, the album was recorded in 1988. There is a long and involved history as to why. The original versions of "Poganaya molodezh" and "Optimizm" were recorded in 1984 with Egor Letov and Konstantin Ryabinov (Kuzya UO, "Кузя УО") and intended to be a Posev album. In late 1984, when the KGB found out about "Poganaya molodezh", the  band was forcibly broken up; Kuzya UO was conscripted into the army and Letov was sent to a mental asylum. Three months later, on 8 December 1984, Letov was released. The KGB ordered him to destroy the masters, but the albums were already circulating. In 1988, after Letov finished his army service, he decided to reconstruct "Poganaya molodezh" and "Optimizm". On 12 January of that year, Letov started re-recording both albums. He also included recordings from Posev's final album "Reggae, Punk and Rock 'n Roll" and a few tracks recorded in July 1985 at the House of Culture  Zvezdny. The project was finished on the 22nd of that month. These re-recordings are now the most common versions. Egor Letov played all instruments on the 1988 album. The 1985 album had Letov on vocals and bass and Kuzya Ryabinov on drums and backing vocals. The album had no cover until the 1999 release on XOP, because it was originally distributed via Magnitizdat. On the 2011 vinyl reissue, it was incorrectly released with the wrong track list on the gatefold (left over from the Misteria reissue). The mistake was realized and two stickers were added to the shrinkwrap: one  with the correct track list and another with a note from Natalia Chumakova stating the tracks appearing on the album were recorded in 1988. Track list. For unspecified reasons, "Nenavizhu zhenshchin" was left off the vinyl and replaced with "Blues (nikak ne nazyvaetsya)", which had previously appeared on "Khorosho!!" and the 1999 XOP/Moroz reissue of "Poganaya molodezh". "V sadike" later appeared on the 2007 CD reissue of "" on Misteria Zvuka.
