    I'm from Volga, and this song reminds me about history of my great ancestors. Thank you! For those, who is interested - the original name of the song is "Дубинушка" or "Эй, ухнем!"

    God this is so good... This song feels so Nostalgic for a past of soviet space exploration, a past which never truly happened and will never return. I can imagine a lot of people in the 60s and 70s (when the spacerace was happening) had a lot of hopes for the future, the promised future which saddly never arrived...

    Volga boatmen (Бурлаки) weren't boatmen. they walked on riverside, pulling cargo ship by rope. And later in city of Samara, at Volga, they welded soviet moon rocket. What a ride

    The man was alone. The control cabin of the spaceship hugged him tightly, like a womb. He thought of his great-grandfather, this illiterate peasant from the days of Tsar Nicholas. And then his grandfather, who instead of living in a hovel with a tiled floor could now live in a reinforced concrete housing estate, study engineering and then fight in the Great Patriotic War. It all came down to this one moment. He saw the reddish fireball of the sun hovering in eternal, steady stillness in the silence of space. He saw the booming globe of the Earth flickering beneath him. He saw the Great Continent, and he saw the New World, which in his father's time had been the slave of capitalists and imperialists, but now inhabited by free and equal people. And there he sat, in the little cabin above it all. The outstretched hand of Humanity, waiting to clasp the outstretched hand of a foreign civilisation, equally advanced and free, in a warm friendly greeting. It was 2039. Long live the Soviet World Republic. Long live Our Dreams.

      Товарищ, историю творят массы! Ничего еще не потеряно, 70 дней просуществовала парижская комунна, 70 лет СССР, а теперь нынешним и будущим поколениям поставлена тяжелейшая задача тысячалетия: добиться реаолюции, установить диктатуру пролетариату и устремить человечество к коммунизму.
      Иначе задница полная, ведь как сказал Кастро : социализм или смерть!
      Ну вот смерть принесёт буржуазия: медленную от убитой экологии или быструю от очередной войны за "интересы нации ".
