In the Soviet Union the punk-rock culture started in the 1980, mostly as a protest movement against the corruption of the regime and the sense there was "no future". It differed from British punk culture as citizens of the Soviet Union they did not have an upper class to protest against; as a result, Soviet punk became a protest against everything around them, without marking anything specific. Soviet punks usually wore boots and coats found in military shops. Also, while in the UK punk arose partly as a protest against more-established rock-music genres like progressive rock or glam rock, in the Soviet Union all rock music remained in the underground, which made for a certain solidarity between punk-rock fans and other rock fans in Russia.
