  • Who are the Soviet Unionians around here?

    I came across a new music video today that all of a sudden hit me with memories of when I was 10 - 11. My family was in Russia at the time with all of the turmoil that was taking place. Tanks were on the streets, and people were on the streets.

    Anyway the video and song are by Gazmanov. The Soviet Unionians should remember the man. I remember there was once an instance where he and two other perfomers were going to give a concert. He was to have the honors of performing last. The other two performers ( I can't remember who they are now got into a argument wich resulted in the female performer's body guard killing the male performer). It was madness.

    But here is the music video. I personally highly agree with the message.

    The cartoon itself is very descriptive in what he sings about.

    The chorus says:

    "How can we truimph if we are so easily sold." "How can we win, if we are so easily bought."



    Its all true for Russia and no different in the rest of the post-soviet sphere.

    Oleg is a talented dude.

      You know, I came across this by accident. I hardly even remembered the guy. All that sh*t in the late 80s and the very early 90s seems like a different dimenstion to me now.

              It doesn't have to be, its a catchy tune, and the cartoon tells the story anyway.
