I really like how they combine Russian Empire symbols (2 headed eagle, St Basil's church and the sculpture) with Soviet era symbols (Rebels, red stars etc etc)
I have always found it interesting how in Russia communism and leftism seem to be used in nationalism when orginally communism was anti nationalists ideology which spoke for the brotherhood of humanity
Essential thing about russian nationalizm is in general (except some radical retards) it is not ethnical. There is a story ( maybe just a myth but still): during a royal ball in St. Petersburg Astolph de Custine (author of the book "La Russie en 1839") was approached by russian emperor Nicolay I. Emperor asked him "Do you think that all this people around us are russians?" - "Of course, your majesty" - answered de Custine. "You're wrong, - Nicolay replied, - this man is tatar, this - german, this - pole, over there stand georgian, jew and moldovan." Then de Custine asked "So who is russian?". The answer was "Alltogether they are russians". You see, Russia and large scale ethnic nationalism can't exist together - one must eventually collapse. That was the thing that happened ( among others) with soviet union. We have here about 180 ethnicities, that's why i think that people yelling "Russia for russians" are complete idiots. Best regards, Russian anarchist.
i have actually read about russian nationalism at least orginally being based on idea rather than ethnicity and i think that is way better form of nationalism than ethnic nationalism. (though i dont support nationalism in any way.) Also nice to hear there are anarchist in Russia. Best regards, Finish libertarian socialists who has lot of anarchist opinions but who doesn't at least yet describe himself as anarchist
Well, you know, Lenin as a communist stood for national self-determination of ethnicities in Russian empire and in the world, because he thought after that workers of independent nations will unite as equals against burgeois. So may be a bit of nationalism is okay for people to remember their culture, their history while multiculturalism is supported and while they recognize other people as equals.
Кирилл Лебедев i do agree that self-determination of local areas is important and i have no problem with people loving their cultures and wishing to speak their own languages. what i mean by nationalism is idea of national states. while local cultures and languages can exist in multicultural world with no real issues between them i believe that countries which base their existence on fairytale of nationalism are always in danger of war and racism which will always pull working class apart and make them easier to control. however i do believe that right of local autonomy is something working class should support to very end as it offers way of building multicultural world as brothers. also while lenin was one of maybe the best soviet leaders he in my opinion betrayed the working class by building new ruling class which ruled while claiming to be communist. i do still partly believe that lenin truly was communist but that doesn't make his actions any less severe
I agree with you. Bolsheviks concentrated too much on the working class, and didn't pay enough attention to farmers and Intelligentsia. That led to so called dictatorship of working class and red terror. So maybe Lenin can be described as "classist" (compared to "racist"). I doubt that such word exist but...
This song is not really a pro putin song, its a song that tries to tell us that everything a nation has can be so great if its people want to help it. Russia can be so vast, so rich, and so strong but it's all in vain if no one comes to help it and take action needed for the greater good. People who love their nation do not want to live in vain, like the chorus says. Therefore, it's a song encouraging people to take action and do what's right selflessly. It applies to America too
Theres even no the word putin or he face everywhere in the video its basiclly a anti-west song (well anti west like stoping them from taking russian land and even some countries taking the cake of russia thing are actually countries that occopied russia )
The imperial eagle without crown and with the red star, i think, means , the nostalgic felling for old russian and european glory, the tree part is the country falling apart, the building the stealing politicians, the nato, menas that we the europeans , we are at the mercy of the beast we created, and we must ally against it.
I think the two headed eagle with the red star represents the empire AND Soviet Union, and that despite the civil wars and all their differences, they're all one Russia.
The way this video portrayed NATO back in 2009 is scary. Back then our relationship were supposedly good, but I guess the seed of nationalism and hate was already been planted in Russian’s heart
Always remember that word "communism" for a lot of people in Russia who fought for freedom in 1917-23 against the monarchists or armies of western and eastern world meaned just the same as word "democracy" for people of America. Then you will understand us and our history. Words are different but meaning is the same - all people love freedom, Russian too. The totalitarism of 1930-40 was influenced by nonprofessionalism and other factors such as European fashism.
You made two very fine points, there. It does all, eventually, come down to the merit of having a state in general. Personally - I'm with Plato, on this. Freedom is far greater with civilization. One of the finer points I've ever heard is: if a civilization is as cold and as rational as a jungle's "free for all" logic... then it loses its purpose. You might as well go to the jungle and fight for survival.
First, the scarry thing is, it is not a parody, is just a straight forward totalitarian song. Second, I don't get paid for that, so I can translate is however I like. Thanks for the translation, though.
I could never understand how the Russian people accepted the massive privatization of natural resources. If it was all national property, then why was it handed over to private individuals?
***** yeah but why are people putting up with it? Their jointly owned property is taken away from them and given over to private individuals, and they just let it happen?
We didn't have much of a choice back then in 90's when privatisation occured, if you speak about government. As for people, they had other concerns, like where to find food for tomorrow. At least oil, gas and military isn't in private property.
@ShadowRSonic I see it as power worship, regardless of who is in charge or what the country stands for. Imperial or Soviet rule, as long as there is someone in charge, nothing else matters much. (The video isn't pointing it out, I am pointing it out in the video)
@fedelede2 Well, the song is innocent enough. The clip, however, seems to call for an authoritarian regime, without any regard to who is leading the regime, thus the Imperial eagle with the red star at the end. Welcome to post-Yeltcin Russia.
Sure, "Totalitarian" means something. It means "Totalitarian". The song is about Russian problems regardless of the regime. But if the video was pro CCCP, what is the imperial eagle doing there in the end, and why exactly do knights disperse the demonstrators?
One uploader mentioned that the knights aren't meant to resemble knights in the sense of servants of kings and emperors, but rather as heroes of their given time, which is why one of the knights has a red star, to symbolise heroes of the Soviet Union. Also, the imperial eagle has a red star on it at the end, so I don't think you can associate it entirely with just the empire, but Russia as a whole, since I don't think the eagle has anything to do with red stars. Socialism does however. So it's not Pro SSSR, but it's also not Anti SSSR
the video is nostalgic towards both the russian empire and the ussr, you can see the red star at the eagle, if you asked most russians, they have positive feelings towards both the russian empire and the ussr because they both made russia a stronger country
The plane is a reference to when Mathias Rust landed in Red Square (the plane in the cartoon seems to look like the model Rust flew anyways). The imperial eagle with red star chasing it away may have to do with restoring Russian Prestige (the plane landing was very embarrassing for the Soviet military), and keeping western interests out of Russia (a recurring theme in the song).
@ShadowRSonic Exactly, and the Eagle pushing it away exemplifier Russian habbit of blaming others for Russia's faults (Russian Air Force, at the time, did nothing to stop the plane, but blaming a German pilot is so much easier).
Exactly! They blame the USSR for being a militarist dictatorship, but it needed a strong army as every other country(government) was against it. 10 countries attacted it in its first years! Thats also what allowed them to whitstand and turn over the nazi blizkrieg.
That's precisely my point. Personally - I live in a much, much smaller country than Russia. And even in a tiny territory in comparison - you have dialects which are stubbornly sticking for generations, nuances... Forcing one official language is necessary for everybody to understand each other. The only way to question the merit of this - is to question the necessity of a state, or a nation in general. But beyond Russia - you do have leveling of this sort in many countries.
Eagle is ancient symbol of Russian Eurasian identity, known from times of Kyivan Rus (Yaroslav the Wise) and Communist Red Star is positive symbol of freedom and victory for a lot of people of the region, especially those, who respect USSR.
@kukuleleful well the idea is that you don't work for rewards. You work because you enjoy doing what you do. That and work rewards you. You get something done. You reward the entire human race through your work and they reward you back. Why must the individual suceed solely when the entire human race could suceed. Your mind is structured upon rewards. I mean is it really charity if you're rewarded for it? Is it really patriotism?
I agree with you! My bad. The Spanish anarchist communities in the 36-39 war were just as democratic and should have been among my examples. Look, I have great respect for what the anarchist movement tried and fought to achieve throughout the 20th century, but I'm a democratic communist myself because the anarchist movement would need a worldwide revolution at once in order to succeed, (we don't...) which is extremely unlikely. If an anarchist revolution would take over a single nation, the
At the beggining, i like how most of the russian territory looks empty compared to Moscow. Isnt that reality ? All the richs live in Mосква и Ст.Петербург... Anyway, after studying Russia and his history, i can imagine why russians want somebody like Putin at power. But there is so much to do for only 1 person.....
Well, they (I am referring to Serbo-Croatian) are called 'languages' because of nationalism/identity issues. "A language is a dialect with an army and navy" etc. Re. academic and "old languages" is a bit different, yeah in this case, I can see standardization as good and given it's one ethnic group, it's less likely to bring up accusations of cultural suppression or oppression etc.
well common languages are good, but i am not sure about forcing them. 'normally' they naturally develop and form, but there are times when yeah an artificial 'standard' is needed (i.e. Basque)/ You're from Belarus?
Nope. Belgrade, Serbia. It's much smaller than Belarus - yet, for instance - you've had 3 separate written languages here, until a reform in early 19th century: remnants of the old written language, a literature language barely spoken outside academic circles, and a hybrid of Slav languages as a pan-Slavian project. There was opposition towards the reform... but it did remove the confusion. I'm not a linguist - but I'm certain that there are similar examples within other cultures.
There are people complaining about the English language and academic papers being full of Jargon.and hard for '"Average joes"' as opposed to interested people (academics, self-taught "nerds" or intellectuals etc) being able to read it. For example, if something on ethnic issues was written in academic language the average person from the ethnic group who doesn't understand such jargon would find it hard to read, etc. Aaron Schartz "Stole" such academic files from JSTOR for that reason.
@YoshiTheBlue Canada has nukes put in safeholding by the US, but the US will 'release' them for canadian usage in a hypotheticla nuke war. Belgium, Germany, Italy and Denmark do as well
There are so many symbols to tell you its a song about USSR First of all the tanks Than the Russian Flag Russian building russian language The political map of Soviet Union
Its more nationalistic than anything else. The symbology is all about a glorified, syncretic Russian past. The merging of the Red Star with the Imperial Eagle is contradictory, but essentially it is saying "We used to be great, and will be again". There are alot of Alexander Nevsky throwbacks as well. No overt Soviet ones, aside from the red Star.
one thing i find wierd is at the end of the vid why is the eagle fighting a plane its harmless but it still fights it no idea wat it means and i still miss the USSR
You said extra credit for the plane reference- was that the German teenager who flew a plane through Soviet air defenses and landed in Moscow? Sorry if someone else got that already.
It is a song about revival of Great Russia-Tartaria society and Eurasian identity of it's people, known in history as russians, cossacks, tatars and so on. :)
Be more specific. Are you talking about anarchist Spain, the Paris commune or the early Leninist USSR? (before the war communism period) Regardless, each one of them gave the people more freedom and power than other historical systems. It's not a matter of belief, but a matter of historical fact!
Учитывайте, что песня написана в 2009 году и с того момента многое поменялось. Если тогда Русские не замечали всей жадности и гнили действующей власти, то сейчас это очевидно абсолютному большенству. Что по поводу войны... Внутренний патриотизм не может позволить Русскому думать о проигрыше России, нашей Родины, пусть она будет под любой властью и флагом.
"Extra credit for figuring out the plane reference in the end". Isn't that a reference to the guy who flew his plane from Germany to Red Square back in the '80s?
@kukuleleful "this utopia of yours there would be jobs that nobody want to work, for example mining or cleaning streets." I have two friends, one makes 3 times more than the other. One works on an offshore oil rig 8 months of the year, and one stocks store shelves. Which one do you think gets the better pay, and which do you think deserves it? Hint: the answer is really easy.
of safety within society and for planning the activity of the public sectors of the economy in order to achieve progress. I believe that the government is "squandering and manipulating the ideas benefits" only if it is an undemocratic one and does not truly represent the working and the middle class.
@kukuleleful I totally agree with you. Some jobs are shittier than others, so the people who get the shitier jobs deserve more money for their troubles. If people bitch about how little they get paid, they should get a new job, even if its much more dirty and hard to do.
They seem to like that as opposed to being "forced" to speak Russian. They seem to have a collective sense of nastiness re. speaking Russian, it's similar for a lot of people from former USSR in later years who were non-russian. pretending not to understand Russian even if they can......
Видео и песня не о коммунистах, а о борьбе с коррупцией. НАТО же выступает угрозой из заграницы. И помни, у России всего два друга её флот и её армия. Благодарю за внимание господа иностранцы)))))
Yeah. I've just been to Latvia. A Swedbank colony with a rising number of homeless people with half it's cities emptied by banks... I've seen one shipload of timber moving out of the docks every half an hour. One of two country's resources. And I've seen almost no groceries that are domestically made. Better, you say? They are being exploited. They are poor.
Lo ponía en inglés para que lo entendieran los demás jeje, pero mejor en español. A mi tb me gustaría una mezcla entre los movimientos nacionalistas y obreristas, algo así como el nacional-bolchevismo pero donde se respetaran las libertades de la gente. Soy joven pero no se si viviré para verlo...
I consider the US to be an oppressive state which denies the black population the right to self-determination actually, and India had arguably a better language policy than the Russification of SOME parts of the USSR. Depending on the ethnicity in question learning Russian was not such a......nasty thing to undergo as they did not feel oppressed.
Yes they did.Especially when taking in account that many peasants at that time were still under feudal rule, not owning anything,even their life and that the population suffered from famines very often before colectivisation because of wars and primitive farming and agriculture.Also over 90% of them were illitarete.Stalin did go too far, although some of the measures were needed to restore order and clear some corruption,but by the 50s those problems I mentioined were solved.A new sup-power also
Its because modern day Russia i using this symbol AGAIN this eagle is also a symbol of orthodoxy besides you can see the Soviet Star everywhere in this video.The Russia VS NATO only Communists are against NATO.
never choose another social or economical pattern. You can only select a way of dictatorship of the financial elites, one of them implementing high taxes and high public spending and the other one lowering taxes and public spending. That's all, so a proper word to describe the USA would be plutocracy (power of the rich elites) or dictatorship of the banks, not democracy! (power of the people) The Paris Commune in 1871 and the early Soviet Union were the only real democracies the modern world had
Russia has been falling apart since the end of the Soviet Union... I'm not even Russian, but I like Russia a lot and I would like to see them get out of the situation they are in right now... shame really, in 20 years they went from alternating from the most powerful/2nd most powerful nation in the world to what has been displayed in the video.
look the Soviets may bring the fall of Imperial Russia but they didn't forgot their traditions i think that the eagle was still in use in some military hats but not with 2 heads etc. but anyway i am not sure.
imperialist governments of the USA/Britain/France/Germany/China or of their neighbours would most certainly invade the nation in order to "prevent chaos and protect freedom". This, and, well, I believe it would be very hard to impose order and stop burglary and crimes without any government. I don't want a state either, as Marxism proposes a stateless classless society (a global egalitarian federation/union), but I want a government chosen directly by union representatives for ensuring a degree
I really like how they combine Russian Empire symbols (2 headed eagle, St Basil's church and the sculpture) with Soviet era symbols (Rebels, red stars etc etc)
I have always found it interesting how in Russia communism and leftism seem to be used in nationalism when orginally communism was anti nationalists ideology which spoke for the brotherhood of humanity

How could it be pro putin, he has given control of the country to his useless friends who are selling it.
The imperial eagle without crown and with the red star, i think, means , the nostalgic felling for old russian and european glory, the tree part is the country falling apart, the building the stealing politicians, the nato, menas that we the europeans , we are at the mercy of the beast we created, and we must ally against it.
Wow, this is a really interesting song and video. Thanks for the subtitles and the explanation so that us foreigners can understand it!
I think the two headed eagle with the red star represents the empire AND Soviet Union, and that despite the civil wars and all their differences, they're all one Russia.

"Extra credit for figuring out the plane reference in the end". Isn't that a reference to the guy who flew his plane from Germany to Red Square back in the '80s?

"this utopia of yours there would be jobs that nobody want to work, for example mining or cleaning streets."
I have two friends, one makes 3 times more than the other. One works on an offshore oil rig 8 months of the year, and one stocks store shelves. Which one do you think gets the better pay, and which do you think deserves it?
Hint: the answer is really easy.
No, it's actually and ode to medieval despotism, obviously! Those knits with iron helmets are proof of it.
If you have ever read a book about someone trying to make a utopia, do they ever succeed. Or perhaps, do they create a nightmare instead?
of safety within society and for planning the activity of the public sectors of the economy in order to achieve progress. I believe that the government is "squandering and manipulating the ideas benefits" only if it is an undemocratic one and does not truly represent the working and the middle class.
This song is about left wing patriotism, something rare for our modern Greek left wing politicians......
I just had to laugh at the workers sawing off the barrels of the tanks x)
is singer from Любэ (Lube)-band?
@kukuleleful
I totally agree with you. Some jobs are shittier than others, so the people who get the shitier jobs deserve more money for their troubles. If people bitch about how little they get paid, they should get a new job, even if its much more dirty and hard to do.
dont take it wrong, democracy isnt what this world want most. For people not ready for it, it could signal a doom fate
They seem to like that as opposed to being "forced" to speak Russian. They seem to have a collective sense of nastiness re. speaking Russian, it's similar for a lot of people from former USSR in later years who were non-russian. pretending not to understand Russian even if they can......
best example is Russia , they lived happy in USSR , they wanted freedom so they got it..
Видео и песня не о коммунистах, а о борьбе с коррупцией. НАТО же выступает угрозой из заграницы. И помни, у России всего два друга её флот и её армия. Благодарю за внимание господа иностранцы)))))
Yeah. I've just been to Latvia.
A Swedbank colony with a rising number of homeless people with half it's cities emptied by banks... I've seen one shipload of timber moving out of the docks every half an hour. One of two country's resources.
And I've seen almost no groceries that are domestically made.
Better, you say?
They are being exploited. They are poor.
Do you know who directed this, and what studio made the animation?
I think it supports a powerful and united Russia in any form.
Paciencia se acerca una nueva oportunidad 2017-2030.
The song is actually anti-Western and possibly anti-Putin.
@kukuleleful why buy anything? We intend to provide everything. Good cars, houses, food, water, and healthcare.
Russians be like "life was better under the soviets, even better under the Tsars and absolutely epic with the Vikings."
Do you believe that? that workers and peasents were free to decide what to do and how to live??
Да сам Газманов продажный!
Going out on a limb here, but what if the fall of the USSR was caused by NATO interference?
Το ξέρω ρε! :-)
Ειλικρινά όμως πες μου, ποιο σύγχρονο αριστερό κόμμα θα θεωρούσες πατριωτικό?
Can't remember somebody being so proud reading no books in his life...
Lo ponía en inglés para que lo entendieran los demás jeje, pero mejor en español.
A mi tb me gustaría una mezcla entre los movimientos nacionalistas y obreristas, algo así como el nacional-bolchevismo pero donde se respetaran las libertades de la gente. Soy joven pero no se si viviré para verlo...
нет обама нет клинтон слава России люди! слава хорошо Америки люди.
It is not a democracy it is a Republic.
tell me about this video, where is it from? is it from a governmental source, from a party, or what?
This is just a song by Oleg Gozmanov. He is a famous guy writes/sings these (patriotic) tipes of songs.(At least from what I know)
I think I'm the only one who herd this dude say "cock" A LOT!
I consider the US to be an oppressive state which denies the black population the right to self-determination actually, and India had arguably a better language policy than the Russification of SOME parts of the USSR. Depending on the ethnicity in question learning Russian was not such a......nasty thing to undergo as they did not feel oppressed.
The main characters who fix up shit are Bogatyr right?
@Peter P thanks
Yes they did.Especially when taking in account that many peasants at that time were still under feudal rule, not owning anything,even their life and that the population suffered from famines very often before colectivisation because of wars and primitive farming and agriculture.Also over 90% of them were illitarete.Stalin did go too far, although some of the measures were needed to restore order and clear some corruption,but by the 50s those problems I mentioined were solved.A new sup-power also
Its because modern day Russia i using this symbol AGAIN this eagle is also a symbol of orthodoxy besides you can see the Soviet Star everywhere in this video.The Russia VS NATO only Communists are against NATO.
never choose another social or economical pattern. You can only select a way of dictatorship of the financial elites, one of them implementing high taxes and high public spending and the other one lowering taxes and public spending. That's all, so a proper word to describe the USA would be plutocracy (power of the rich elites) or dictatorship of the banks, not democracy! (power of the people) The Paris Commune in 1871 and the early Soviet Union were the only real democracies the modern world had
Russia has been falling apart since the end of the Soviet Union... I'm not even Russian, but I like Russia a lot and I would like to see them get out of the situation they are in right now... shame really, in 20 years they went from alternating from the most powerful/2nd most powerful nation in the world to what has been displayed in the video.
look the Soviets may bring the fall of Imperial Russia but they didn't forgot their traditions i think that the eagle was still in use in some military hats but not with 2 heads etc. but anyway i am not sure.
Mother Russia
Plane at the end... Could it be MH17? I'm from Malaysia by the way
THE WORLD UNITED UNDER THE FLAG OF THE SOVIET UNION!!!
how can they be commy for nearly 90 years and still deny there poor and miserable?
"How can we win if we keep losing?"
Maybe if you didn't have such butt-stupid tactics and strategies for once.
imperialist governments of the USA/Britain/France/Germany/China or of their neighbours would most certainly invade the nation in order to "prevent chaos and protect freedom". This, and, well, I believe it would be very hard to impose order and stop burglary and crimes without any government. I don't want a state either, as Marxism proposes a stateless classless society (a global egalitarian federation/union), but I want a government chosen directly by union representatives for ensuring a degree
@gypuJlKa если кто-то видел этот клип по телеку хоть раз, может бросить в меня камень.
@YoshiTheBlue why ofcourse, Stalin killed more people than a worldwide war did.
i'm amazed people can say it AND believe it at the same time
This video is about left patriotism in other means...
