Пурген, also stylized as Purgen, is a prominent Russian punk rock band known for their incendiary style and socially-conscious lyrics. Emerging from the underground punk scene in Moscow in the late 1980s, they have since become one of the most influential and enduring bands within the Russian punk movement. The brainchild of frontman Ruslan "Purgen" Gvozdev, the band is characterized by their high-energy performances and uncompromising lyrical themes, challenging political and social norms.

Amidst lineup changes and the evolving music landscape, Пурген has maintained a relentless sonic assault, comprising a distinctive blend of fast-paced punk rock infused with elements of hardcore. Their music, predominantly sung in Russian, resonates with a sense of rebellion and defiance, capturing the ethos of their generation. With albums like "Кабул скайдайвинг клуб" and "Преображение," the group explores a rich variety of topics from sociopolitical commentary to more personal narratives, all the while staying true to the raw, unfiltered edge that defines their sound. Live recordings such as "Концерт в Екатеринбурге" capture the band's dynamic stage presence, further solidifying their reputation as an essential fixture in Russia's punk heritage.
