Robert Brylewski – icon of the Polish underground

“We led different lives from the others. We didn’t give a shit about having a career, or studying, military service or work either. That gave us more confidence and directness,” says Robert Brylewski, who has been a member of such groups as Brygada Kryzys, Izrael and Armia. He wrote the book Punk a reggae v Babylonu (Punk and Reggae in Babylon) with journalist Rafał Księżyk and the publishing house Smršť is issuing it on the 25th anniversary of the events that in 1989 turned the fates of Eastern European countries on their heads.
