Background
Letov was released from the mental ward in March 1986 and immediately began to write and record music. In 1987 he played a set with his friends from Pik Klakson band Evgeny and Oleg Lischenko under the name Adolf Hitler.[1] When Letov returned home, he found out the authorities were going to put him to a mental ward again. Then Letov took an attempt to record all his songs on tape for three months (from May to July).
He recorded new album on his own, and while he credited other musicians, his collaborators went under pseudonyms as Letov, because the original members of GrOb were forced to sign sworn statements saying that they would stay away from Letov.[2] Myshelovka was recorded with minimal technology in Letov's apartment or the apartments of friends, that his apartment came to be known as GrOb Studio, or GrOb Records. Music verged toward lo-fi, noisy punk rock, occasionally drawing inspiration from Russian reggae and folk tunes.[3] Lyrical themes on the album include anti-communist and suicide moods.[4]
