Welcome to the homepage of the Punk Politik zine!
When West Europeans think of punk we tend to visualise the Sex Pistols
and their comtemporaries railing against the monarchy or posing against
capitalism.
Here, we know better!
Subcribe to our zine to learn more about the real people who were
trailblazing the Punk movement East of the Iron Curtain, with Band
profiles, photos, commentary and more each week! Punk fashions and
attitudes in the Soviet Bloc were, for the punks themselves, used to
show other Socialist states and the West that young people in the East
were politically conscious and carving out their own subculture.
