When I was a teenager, there were many things that I feared, like the threat of Nuclear War or the L.A.P.D., and there were many people I hated like Ronald Reagan or P.W. Botha. I had issues with these beings these fears motivated my youth rebellion. While I was going through it, there were youth in Poland that had it way fucking harder than me and my homies, that’s for sure! Check out these unreal portraits of Polish Punks from the 80’s, and you will see that no matter what the authorites do, youth will find a way to live their lives the way they want to! All of these photos were taken by Michal Wasaznik and really capture what it meant to be a Punk behind the Iron Curtain!
