Instruktsiya po vyzhivaniyu (Russian: Инструкция по выживанию, Instructions for Survival) is the 17th album by the Russian punk band Grazhdanskaya Oborona, released in 1990. It was their final album before their break up a week later (they played their final concert in Tallinn on the 13th of April, 9 days after the album was mixed), but they reformed in 1993.
The album's songs are covers of songs by the band Instruktsiya po Vyzhivaniyu. The songs were written between 1986 and 1989. After IPV's lead singer Roman Neumoev converted to Christianity, he gave the songs to Letov, telling him he could use them in whatever way he wanted. Letov decided to record a tribute to IPV using these songs.
The LP issue in 2013 has 5 bonus tracks taken from these sessions and the sessions for the Yegor i Opizdenevshiye album Pryg-skok. In 2016, it was released on CD by Bull Terrier Records, including two extra bonus tracks.
The album has two different renditions of "Posvyashchenie A. Kruchonkyh" and "Nepreryvny suicid". Track 2 was sung by Igor Zhevtun, while track 12 was sung by Yegor Letov. The two versions of the song differ in the first line of the final verse - the word "menty" (cops) in the line "Я подамся в менты, в педерасты, в поэты, в монахи" (I'll become a cop, a queer, a poet, a monk) on track 2 was changed to "zhidy" (kikes) on track 12.
