Инструкция по выживанию

Instruktsiya po Vyzhivaniyu (IPV) is a cornerstone of the Siberian Punk movement, a scene characterized by its isolation from Moscow's more polished rock circles and its intense, lo-fi aesthetic. Formed in Tyumen in 1985 by Miroslav Nemirov and later led by Roman Neumoev, the band's history is inextricably linked with state repression; their first performance led to members being forcibly conscripted into the army.

This reality infused their early work with a genuine sense of danger and anti-establishment fervor. Their sound is defined by a 'garage' approach to post-punk, utilizing high-gain distortion and primitive recording techniques that became the blueprint for the 'Siberian sound.' Their relationship with Egor Letov of Grazhdanskaya Oborona was symbiotic; Letov famously recorded an entire album of IPV covers, which helped preserve the band's legacy during periods of inactivity. Over decades, Neumoev shifted the band's focus toward Orthodox Christianity and nationalist philosophy, creating a complex, often controversial cultural profile that remains influential within Russian alternative circles for its uncompromising commitment to underground ethics.
