In 1989 Grazhdanskaya Oborona released four noise rock / industrial -influenced albums ( Война, Армагеддон-Попс, Здорово и вечно and Русское поле экспериментов ), often considered their best. Letov’s lyrics became darker and more elaborate, inspired by existentialist philosophy and literature. Some songs (e.g. “Насекомые” ( Insects ) from Армагеддон-Попс , “Заговор” ( Spell ) from Здорово и вечно ) also show his interest in Siberian folklore and pre-Christian beliefs. In the same year Letov, Kuzya and Oleg “Manager” Sudakov started a conceptual, Sots Art -like side project Коммунизм (Communism), where they combined kitschy Soviet art and Stalinist poetry with noise experimentation. GrOb also collaborated with Yanka Dyagileva, who recorded with them two albums ( Ангедония and Домой! , both released in 1989).
