Wikipedia description:

Yana Stanislavovna "Yanka" Dyagileva (Russian: Яна Станиславовна Дягилева; 4 September 1966 – c. 9 May 1991) was a Russian poet and singer-songwriter, and one of the most popular figures of her time in the Siberian underground music scene. She both played solo and performed with others, including Yegor Letov and bands Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Velikie Oktyabri ("Great Octobers"). Yanka was greatly influenced by her friends Letov and Alexander Bashlachev. Her songs explored themes of desperation and depression, punk-style nihilism, and folk-like lamentations. Her death in 1991 has been considered as a symbolic end to the Siberian punk scene.
