We call a pseudorandom generator $G_n:\{0,1\}^n\to \{0,1\}^m$ {\em
hard} for a propositional proof system $P$ if $P$ can not efficiently
prove the (properly encoded) statement $G_n(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\neq b$ for
{\em any} string $b\in\{0,1\}^m$. We consider a variety of
``combinatorial'' pseudorandom generators inspired by the
Nisan-Wigderson generator on the one hand, and by the construction of
Tseitin tautologies on the other. We prove that under certain
circumstances these generators are hard for such proof systems as
Resolution, Polynomial Calculus and Polynomial Calculus with
Resolution (PCR).
