I'm hesitant to call that punk. Maybe punk-styled? It sounded like folky garage rock to me.

Yeah, musically it was something like psycodelic garage folk punk. That girl (she died in 1991) was a great poet and her poetry and songs were very sad and lyrical. But when she had gigs with that hairy dude, it always was something crazy and punky, because he was the most famous Soviet/Russian punk rocker.

For that guy to have that sort of appearance in Soviet Russia is quite a statement. Long hair and big anarchist logo on his jacket. I would think he would, and maybe did, put himself in danger. My experience of the Eastern Bloc is limited. I was only briefly in East Berlin as an 10 year old.

Well, he became famous during Perestroika and Glasnost so it was already different time. Still, he lived in Siberia, and Perestroika and Glasnost came there with big lag so he had big problems with KGB. He was beat up a few times by KGB agents, and then they placed him in mental hospital. He had to run away and roam over USSR hiding from KGB, untill his elder brother (who was a famous jazz musician) threatened to hold a press conference for Soviet and international journalists and tell them about, how KGB treated his younger brother, and that there was no any Perestroika and Glasnost in the country. And only after that KGB let the dude alone.
