History
The project was called “Anarchy” because of the likely anti-communist texts written by Sudakov. The music for all the songs of "Anarchy" was written and played by Yegor Letov.
The Civil Defense drummer Arkady Klimkin also took part in the recording of albums: his drums sound in the songs “War” and “Spell” (a song from the album “Vlasov’s Army”). The album “Paralysis”, as well as the album “Army of Vlasov” that followed it, was recorded in 1988 and represented a collection of songs personally selected by Letov “for his own exacting taste” [1] . Manager himself imagined the recorded songs in several other arrangements.
Songs of Anarchy
Some songs of “Anarchy” were reflected in the entire “Siberian underground”:
- The song "Recruits" was written by Oleg Sudakov and is dedicated to Konstantin Ryabinov , who was at that time serving in the army. According to Sudakov himself, is one of his best songs [2] .
- The song “Paralysis”, which is the title track of the album, was written by Oleg after he saw one of his relatives in a state of paralysis [3] .
- The song "War", written by Sudakov and Letov, was later rewritten personally by Letov and entered the repertoire of "Civil Defense" in 1989. In the same year the album of the group was released , where this song was the title track.
The Vlasov Army
The group, formed by Manager and Letov in 1988, is a continuation of Anarchy.
The group was named after the song of the same name by Sudakov. According to the author himself, the song was dedicated to “any person caught by fate who turned out to be in the corner”, and not to Vlasov at all [4] . Although the motive of the song itself was "inspired" by this particular person. An album of the same name was recorded as part of the project, and when it was reprinted, it was released as part of the discography of Anarchy [5] .
On June 3, 1989, in Novosibirsk in the Chkalov Palace of Culture, a performance by the Army of Vlasov group took place at the Dmitry Selivanov Memory Concert.
