Same to me. I'm 54 years old, born and living in Germany. I bought the album "Dream of the blue turtles" when it was released at 1985 and listened to "Russians" the first time at age 17. Already at this time I was deeply moved by the song. When I heard it again last week on radio - more than 35 years later - I started crying bitterly and had to drive my car to the right, because I was too shaken to drive and had to calm down first.
Same, I am turning 50 this summer. This situation is an unbelievable nightmare. Did you see Sting's recent posting of singing it now as an older man? Brings so many feelings. Let's visualize this ending now, and the world coming together to help Ukraine heal and rebuild, but also doing the same for victims of cruelty elsewhere too. Peace.
Tons of lies about Russia. And millions of deceived people in the world. If Russia perishes, this world will have no hope left. I see it this way. How long could Russia wait and endure spitting? How many people died during all this time in Ukraine at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists? And as soon as Russia clenched its fists, tons of hatred flew into it, patient mother. And it would be nice to hate what is just, no, this hatred comes from a monstrous lie! ... And the refusal to treat children with cancer - is this not Nazism? World has gone mad. Humanity has no hope. Many countries have proven that they are biorobots, some kind of monsters.
Being against war sounds noble, but does not describe reality. Being against violence, does not mean to wait for something bad to happen and then respond. The police for instance catches criminals before they can act, to prevent harm from happening! This too can involve violence, sad but true! In the case of Russia having an operation in the Ukraine, the Russian view is, that they feel very much under threat by the USA. America has something that is called "The Monroe doctrine", it forbids any distant great power to put military forces into the western hemisphere! In the case of Ukraine, the coup d'etat that was openly sponsored by the west in 2014 brought the Ukraine basically under US rule, Hunter Biden, the son of Biden even works at a gas and oil company there! The US and NATO are not the only problem, as the Ukraine has a government that consists of people who are openly Nazis. These are politicians who on camera said that all Russians, Jews and Germans, etc. should be killed! Ukraine has named streets after Nazi criminals and even erected statues for mass murderers who were Nazis. The AZOV Battalion, the Right Sector and Aidar are just some of the fruits of Ukrainian Nazi mentality which was also openly enforced by western nations as for instance Scott Ritter admitted. The puppet government in the Ukraine tried to cover this all up by installing a Jewish president who is an actor. Before he became president the man played a president in an Ukrainian Tv Soap Opera. Then suddenly a new political party surfaced in the Ukraine with the very same name as the show! Surprise! The candidate was the actor from the show! Western powers supported heavy militarization of Ukraine, which lead to 14.000 deaths in the Donbass region which was clearly against the coup d'etat. The US installed Biological Laboratories in the Ukraine to research biological weapons, which goes against the Geneva Convention and is a crime against humanity! This all lead to a reaction of Russia as the Superpower next door...
@@Zlato7 Yeah okay, denazification of jew president and liberating russian speaking ppl by completely destroying the city of Mariupol where literally 90% of population are russian speaking ppl. Good job and nice try. Ppl repeating russian propaganda takes without chaging a single word always look extremely convincing.

So did I. I was a teenager when that jet fighter shot down the Korean plane with its passengers and crew over Sakhalin island, a couple of years before this song came out. Making Peace is stronger than making war. 🕊🇺🇦🕊❤🕊🇷🇺🕊 From France
Different "leaders", same mistakes. Strange thing is that the children Sting was refering to when he wrote this song, the 70/80's kids are now the adults making the mistakes they dreaded as children! Let's hope one day we will learn not to continue making the sames mistakes and that just as this song is timeless, everyone loves their kids enough for this planet to have a chance!
Sergio, if I may; it's not the grown up Russian children from the 70/80's making any mistakes, whatsoever. It's their leaders, as well as the western world leaders playing the game of divide and conquer. No one blamed American adults when the USA invaded Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan et al....and we still haven't found any weapons of mass destruction! "Oh well, never mind, our mistake (thousands of unnecessary deaths, and oodles of stolen raw materials, later" ;-D
@@tuesday199312 of course you may. That's my point! How many of those leaders were kids/young adults in the 70/80s? I'm not referring to one specific nation's children.
War is profitable. The average person IS NOT making this mistake. Never believe that the "elites" take us into consideration when they play their games. The cowardliness of people who repeat CONSPIRACY is why people suffer.
When I listened to the song for the first time I thought "what a horrible dark age we lived in until a few years ago. Thank God it's over". Welp, here we are again. I am so sorry, sir Sting.
@@stu7161 It is very PROFITABLE for the government to SCARE people: prices can be raised, salaries and social benefits dropped - "Russians r coming / Putin is coming". THEY r not coming, NATO is doing it.
don't worry, God's not going to bring us into apocalypse. man may try, but they will fail. nuclear war is the end game and there's no winners. Putin can only threaten but he's a small man (probably more than in just height)
This song was a smash hit during the 80's in the Cold War era. I was 58 then. Fast forward almost four decades and here we are. I am now 96 years old and this song is even MORE relevant now than it was then.
@@sputnikcaviar5592 if you ignore the truth and continue to believe Putins propaganda and control, then you have the blood of Ukraine on your hand too. The good people of Russia know his invasion war is wrong. We see many Russian anti war protesters are silenced like children with no freedom.
@@brokenplanet7948 .....it's not propaganda---the 14K dead in Donbass by Kiev---is easily google--Reuters even reported it. Truckers were arrested in Ottawa and yellow vest people were arrested in Paris----all protesters are minorities---not majorities..recent poll shows 71% support Putin. Hardly a minority. Russian Orthodox churches were packed on Sunday!
This has always been my favorite song by Sting...I remember hearing it as i child in the 80s...Then we came so far...And now with War looming again I thought about it and played ot lime 3 times in a row...As an American ive always loved and respected the people of Russia...I hate seeing our governments bringing us to Cold War or worse again...God help us all...
A smart person once said.. our saving grace was that the people who lived under the Soviet Union believed in the sanctity of Life... The Russian population, regardless of their captivity of the Soviet government has a strong Christian base. Even the elite within the Soviet regime knew a nuclear war was not winnable. I thank God for that. Rational thinking on both sides prevented that. I cannot say the same for Muslim extremists who don't value the Sanctity of Life. That is why it is imperative for those people to never have access to nuclear arsenal. Stings message is very powerful and insightful... Yes, the Russians do love their children because the Soviet Union is no more .. unfortunately a tyrannical idiot is there now but he too understands a no winnable nuclear war.
It becomes a massive problem when nato places its missiles around the Ukraine. How would the the USA feel if the russians placed its missiles around the border of canada or around the border of mexico. Enough said i think.
Who else is listening to this now, wondering and worrying? I wish for calm heads to prevail in these uncertain times. This song haunted my childhood, it seems that it has returned to haunt me again. Russian people we love you, you are a compassionate and caring people and we know that you hate this situation as much as we do. It's always us, the little people who lose
This song haunted me as well -the first time I heard/listened to it. Being a life-long 'Police' fan/'Sting' fan, the past weeks have filled me with dread once again; making this song more relevant than...well ever to me. I, along w/you pray/anguish and hope this situation will soon end in a peaceful way of any kind.💔❤🩹❤
This song struck me deeply when I was afraid of the nukes as a child. Now I have a son and it breaks my heart how relevant it has become again practically over night.
I know this is going to sound satirical, but if they nuke your city, you will have mere seconds yo panic and then you're gone There is a Dutch song, called "de Bom" by Doe maar, that's about not worrying about a bomb. Whether America, Germany, Russia throws them, it will not chance that you should focus on your loved ones, instead of money or profits. He sings: I need to get my diploma, before the bomb drops. Need to get my healthinsurance fixed, before the bomb drops. But if the bomb drops.. well then I'll lay there in my fancy suit, cheques and diplomas in my pocket, my nice vocabulary and healthinsurance all covered.. under the rubblr of the skyscrapers in the city, next to you. So let it drop then, it'll happen anyway, it doesn't matter if you run or not. I'd like to get to know who you are, i've never gotten to know you and I'd like to know who you are." Again, it's Doe maar- de bom. A bit of an 80's rastafari-inspired song.
@@thecat4804 Ohhhh yep, body. Sorry for the long answer, in Russia we have a limit on Internet use (5 MB per day), we get a coupon after we pray for president Putin. You are right, we cannot read western democratic and truthful journalists, because the Comrade Major of FSB is watching us and will immediately send us to Siberia. Tomorrow morning(of course after praying for president Putin) I will have to go to the factory again to disassemble washing machines and the microwave ovens, take out chips and insert them into rockets and tanks, Ursula von der Leyen did not lie about it. I will drink vodka for your health during breakfast, because we have not any another food. Thank you for your truth!
Speaking of it's all over again, the west invaded Europe and Africa and Russia was there to clean it up while you bark at Russians for doing their job, of protecting their own. This happened over and over again yet no one learns a damn thing about anything. Especially today. NATO invaded Europe and is attacking Russia while magically Russia is an invaidor on it's own lands ... Same was applied to Serbia and bunch of other who NATO is in war with. NATO invades and kills natives magically those natives are the aggressors and are invading themselves. Do world a favor and just f-ck off. Especially things you can't comprehend even a concept of let alone the entire thing, nor clearly want to even try to learn. The west and their zombies should leave out of their filthy mouths the countries that are centuries far older then your pathetic fake ones, in any negative way. Because whatever your spoiledass have today is thanks to those same old countries your officials butcher and pillage.
And what is going on from Your point of view? Have You ever been in Russia? You think there lives 145M people who don't love their children and whant war, realy?
"I hope the Britains and Americans love their children too". I write this poetic text for music (song) and translate with chatGPT from russian lang to english: My wondrous world, you still breathe bright, The nature’s light and birds in flight. While at the borders gather mice, And a hegemon’s their prince, precise. Life flows like rivers, Moscow, Thames, The water's dark, don’t try to claim. On Dniper's shores, the children live, Who wishes them no chance to give? I know the south brings mountains high, In the north, there’s snow, and ice in the sky. The east is beautiful, this I behold, Yet who brings evil, who turns cold? Is it Captain Jack who leads the fray? Or the Queen of Spades come out to play? Or a wicked Yeti awakened from sleep? Yet he isn’t many-faced, just deep. I know from heavens, the bombs descend, Rockets fly, and bullets blend. Currency flows like rivers of blood, We edge towards a hellish flood. God is love, but what’s the Devil’s game? Why does he seek your soul in shame? Behind the mask, no riches show, Debts as awards, yet beauty’s glow. So fill your pockets, tighten your grasp, Dust off your flaws with a careful clasp. The less you have inside, the more you show, With all of this, just let it flow. I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart On original language (music - Sting "Shape of my hearth"): Мой дивный мир ты всё же дышишь Природы свет и пенье птиц А у границ собираются мыши И гегемон их принц Жизнь льёт рекой, Москва и Темза Вода темна, не пробуй пить А на Днепре живут обычные дети Кто хочет их убить? Я знаю что юг - это горы и Рио На севере снег, Исландия, лёд Я знаю, что восток это тоже красиво Так кто же зло несёт? Может это капитан Джек? Может это дама пик? А может это злой, проснувшийся Йети? Но он не многолик... Я знаю что там с неба падают бомбы Ракеты летят и пули свистят Валюта льёт рекой, рекой чёрной крови Мы приближаем ад Thats not a shape, shape of my hearth Бог есть любовь, но что есть Дьявол? Зачем ему твоя душа? За маской ни гроша, долги как награда Но внешность хороша Так что ж набей карман потуже Припудри все прыщи Чем меньше у тебя внутри - тем больше снаружи И с этим всем плыви. I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart
What is sting saying that Russians don't love their children??? England doesn't love children the world allows child trafficking the people love the children the people who like to think they rule us DO NOT
Thanks. I hope you know that good, true Americans over here don't believe the American media or government. We know it is all corrupt. Even the European government and media. We don't want to be the agressors. But you could say we are a conquered country. Conquered by the elites.
Russian here. I first heard this song as a child and noticed my father had teared up. Thirty-two years later, now a parent myself, I understand why. This is the power of art.
@@snowballthecat7542 Thank you. Ukrainian cities are being bombed, so I am not sure the suffering can be compared. On the other hand, they have hope and reasons to be optimistic about the future.
I was blubbering when I heard it for the first time again,recently. I have not lost everything or any family members yet but it seems like it will continue to grow in intensity and area
I heard this song as a child and it really opened my eyes. We use to have nuclear war drills at school and watch films about what to do in case of nuclear war. I remember being scared of and hating the Russians/Soviets and playing war with my friends where we pretended to be fighting them. The thought that there was some Russian kid out there thinking the same thing about me never entered my mine till I heard this song. It upset me then bc I realized I didn't hate anyone I was scared and wanted to protect the people I loved. Thinking there might be some people on the "other side" that actually loved their children gave me real hope that maybe we could avoid a nuclear war and perhaps find some way to get along. I now have children and there's no doubt that the Russians love their children too. We are all human. Thank you Sting for teaching me and giving me insight about the world.
Эту песню написал западный человек для западных людей. Не обманывайте сами себя: вы не знаете, кто у власти в России. Вы думаете: «они такие же, как мы». Нет. Путин сказал недавно: «они все сдохнут, а мы попадем в рай».
I’m going to really go meta and blow your mind here, and tell you that the chorus of this song is actually a song by Sergei Prokofiev called “Lieutenant Kizhe” which is about a military cover up and is a satire about bureaucracy. This song was written BY a Russian, almost 100 years ago, to mock the military.
We have innumerable problems as a global society and in microcosms in the various countries within and along their borders. I fear we are accelerating to total annihilation and extinction. I don't think there are enough people who remain that choose to see the good in their enemies any longer. I've been arguing against fellow "leftists" why punching Nazis is morally bankrupt. And they don't understand these principles. Countries will be ripped apart. And the world will be no better off.
@@SocialistStrike you’re not a leftist you’re a progressive. You don’t believe in socialism, you’re a caricature of it. “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered” remember? Under no pretext. That means that punching Nazis or shooting bad guys is the right thing to do, even if you don’t like it.
Lorsqu'on observe le monde et ceux qui sont aux manettes, c'est devenu pire et l'escalade semble inévitable et catastrophe. Merci Sting pour ta puissance de voix ❤
And the lesson is - the PEOPLE of all lands regardless of religion, politics or nationality need to stand up and say NO to the power hungry leaders who care not for anything but their own status, power and wealth.
It is very PROFITABLE for the government to SCARE people: prices can be raised, salaries and social benefits dropped - "Russians r coming / Putin is coming". THEY r not coming, NATO is doing it.
I graduated from High School in 1988, at the end of the Reagan Era. I lived this time as a teenager in SoCal. I remember what a big deal it was when Billy Joel was allowed to hold a concert in the former Soviet Union. 99 Red Balloons and Wolverines! ;-)
I graduated in 1987 and lived near D.C. and remember the desk drills and going to sleep at night worrying about war. This song needs to be heard as an anthem; nobody wants this. I'm in America and I'm praying for all. The soldiers don't want this and the innocent people definitely don't want this. I hope they come to their senses, and no one has to lose their life. Stay Safe
The Cold War never truly ended. It just simmered down for 25-30 years and has only truly heated up this past decade again. It's no surprise whatsoever that this Cold War song stayed relevant. It will forever remain relevant as long as we Earthlings continue to recognize borders and sovereignty over land and resources, instead of progressing and sharing, co-operating, advancing as one people. "One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags, and no countries and the only passport will be the heart." - Carlos Santana
@@SocialistStrike Sounds like a lovely, idyllic fantasy world. But the facts are, no borders would lead to absolute, massive migration, chaos, anarchy and war. It would be HELL. That’s the reality.
@@LittleLulubee no. One day, if humanity survives as a species, there will be one ruling govt. It can be authoritarian or democratic, but eventually, we will have no relevant borders, especially if we begin reaching for the stars. Obviously this eventuality isn't going to happen overnight. And can't occur so long as there are clashing ideologies. One will bear out.

If they don’t get the electricity on at Chernobyl soon, it’s going to be REAL BAD. Sting knows the Russian people love their children, it’s the world’s leaders that appear not to give a f**k.

things like this always make sense... unfortunately that also means that the human kind is still dumb enough to start wars and hate each other for idiotic reason

I was just a teenager when I first listened to this song. I was thinking: how scary. And now more than 3 decades later I still think the same. All that happening in Ukraine makes me so sad. I do not believe in bombs and guns but peace.
Such a beautiful film clip. Its giving production design from Fritz Lang and early 1920s directors. The use of black and white an integral touch. A true masterstroke of the video clip era.
Sting went through a phase of black and white vids around this time. Russians, The Lazarus Heart, We''ll Be Together and Every Breath You Take a few years earlier.
This song by Sting, in the midst of the cold war, was a courageous voice and, at the same time, opportune, since an extremely inquisitive speech prevailed about everything that bore the name of Soviet or Russian. He pointed out that Russians are human beings like us, regardless of who was at the head of their government. A unique sight, in a dark time.
A few months ago, I listened to this song, and thought: "Nowadys, this song is out of fashion, and it has lost its sense". Now, it has recovered all the sense again.
Are russians the human being like you? That is, are you also ready to come with weapons to a neighboring country to kill children, women, old people and turn flourishing cities into ruins????(((

You are empathetic and care about all people, not just yourself. It hits me hard too. I remember being very scared in the early to mid 80s. Of course the propaganda didn't help (see the movie "The Day After") but just realizing that something relatively small in the grand scheme of things could set off WWIII is very anxiety inducing.
Как давно это было. Видел, наверное, клип. Совсем ребёнком был. Она казалась такой торжественной, рождественской. Слов, естественно, понять я не мог. И вот буквально вчера - в рекомендациях.

Not really, you are projecting just like this pathetic song back in a day. It's a political creation that have zero touch with reality and a thing of a past. What is happening today is somewhat similar but the politics are different however evident you once again fail to realize what is going on and even if the truth hits you in the head you will continue to bark at Russians because you are born this way. You are your own enemy that is the saddest truth, you don't need Russians or anything else for that to blame but yourselves.
"We share the same biology, regardless of ideology." This is a part so true and that always makes me feel. We are all humans, equal, no one is inferior. Wars should end, wars are nonsensical slaughters made to defend the richest's interests. Wars should not exist anymore.
Only Jesus the Christ has the power,truth and wisdom to stop Satan having his influence on people in this world with the intent on getting them to destroy each other. The real Jesus is the true king
@Phelan The true God (Hebrew Yahweh) created Lucifer/Satan. Satan has free will to agree to obey or disobey God as all people also do. I believe God knows the end from the beginning dependant upon actions/ine tions of Angel's and people. I think a concept of pre- destination based on all lives is an erroneous understanding of biblical scripture. God is outside of time,he therefore knows the end from the beginning based on what happens.
@Phelan I think God knows the consequences of all actions when they happen/are carried out by angels/people. However, we can't be free unless we desire to choose his loving influence by the Holy Spirit(Gods spirit) in our lives. Because of the intense rebellion against God it would appear the consequences of these actions will create what is written about in biblical scripture. However,there is hope promised for those who want to follow Yeshua the messiah. The alternative is horrible but many people do not want to repent and follow Yeshua.They prefer the rebellious sinful lifestyle. These people will be rejected by God in eternity because they have rejected his ways and hope of salvation found through following Yeshua. Yeshua bless you
Every few years this song sends chills down my spine. This is one of those moments as we are, again, on the precipice of armed conflict with Russia. It will never end.
So many years later and here we are again... Of course there are a lot of good people among us but, as a whole, what a petty, stupid, destructive species we are 😞
@@cic3531 you speak the truth 💯. I am constantly looking for signs that humans/societies are better than our most primitive impulses, these days examples are hard to find.
The media here in the USA are beating the drums of war for clicks and views on their websites. "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday other world leaders have been overstating the likelihood of war between his country and Russia, causing "panic" and destabilizing Kyiv's economy." Both sides are playing a game of chess, none of the leaders will pay the price. :(
But there were three U.S. presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and, yes, even Donald Trump, reaching out to Russia in good faith, even for the sake of avoiding a nuclear war. Now it comes this professional politician, President Biden, who should know better but he does not, and thus he puts all of us at risk because he just does not understand the security needs of the Russian Federation.

It was released in 1985 when I was 21. At the time we thought the Cold War would drag.on for years. Six years later the Soviet Union fell and I was so happy for the Russian people. Sadly this song feels relevant once more.
@@MonicaHelton Didn't we party thinking the World was forever safe. We had won. No more Armagedón over our heads. Well, you know what they say about the third generation.
I grew up loving this song, even though it was released the year before I was born. I was too young to understand the gravity of the message entirely, but I could still feel the meaning and it's always stuck with me. "There's no such thing as a winnable war, it's the lie we don't believe anymore" defined my viewpoints on the topic. It's crushing to think that this song would ever have relevance again in my lifetime. We really are doomed to continue repeating the same mistakes, aren't we?
There is this man in Russia Diagnosed with schizophrenia A million-dollar-yacht and private jet Just like every other good Soviet Mister Putin said, "This is not a war" It's a lie we don't believe anymore His fear of the Corona-flu May-be this Russian’s just a bit cuckoo! * How can a Nazi be a Yew? His bombs and his mind just blew And all these sanctions make no sense The world has lost its innocence We share the same stupidity Regardless of our geology Trust in God and toodeloo I think this Russian’s just a bit cuckoo! * This is a historical song I sing And I do hope that it will Sting There’s no such thing as a World War 4 My voice is gone so I must roar Mister Biden says, "We won’t protect you" The old man has no balls or clue Why don’t we put-in in a zoo? Because this Russian’s just a big cuckoo! * He keeps inflicting all this pain On the people of Ukraine But what might save us, me and you Is when this cuckoo flies to Waterloo!

How many people died during all this time in Ukraine at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists? And as soon as Russia clenched its fists, tons of hatred flew into it, patient mother. And it would be nice to hate what is just, no, this hatred comes from a monstrous lie! ... And the refusal to treat children with cancer - is this not Nazism? World has gone mad.

You have no idea how relevant this song was at the time, if I'm not mistaken, the mid-80s. The feeling that the manipulated majority had when it came to the Russian people, was that of a faceless, stereotypical enemy. Hence fear arose of what could come out of such people. Sting, boldly, observed that there are differences only in the extent of human beings. He was able to see people, instead of stereotypes. This is more current than you think.
I think most sane people understand that the Russian people are just like everyone else. We are all brothers and sisters under one sky. No need to fight.
It’s truly fascinating. This song was published 30 years ago, this person posted the video 13 years ago, and the algorithm recommended this seemingly a year ago. Not only that, but you see many comments from different languages and different time periods. I was just a baby born in 1986, so i really didnt have any memory of the Soviet Union, but seeing so many others share their experiences of that era is breathtaking, but also chilling that we are in such uncertain times again. I write this as of July 21, 2023, and I hope this account is still active so the algorithm does a loop around again and recommends this moment of history for others to see.
Oppenheimer + the RDJ/Nolan Wired interview where they mention the song the day before your comment gave it a bump of views which was picked up by the algorithm would be my guess.
Очень музыка понравилась.)До слез.В этой композиции Стинг использовал мелодию «Романса» из сюиты «Поручик Киже» Сергея Прокофьева. Судя по переводу песни,Стинг очень глубокий и умный человек)
Если вы украинец, извините. Это сообщение не для вас. Если ты русский, то это для тебя. Мы, из Италии, со всего Запада каждый день слышим ужасные новости, о которых русские ничего не знают, потому что их диктатура, во главе которой стоит кровожадный и свирепый преступник Путин, не в состоянии объявить Правду. Теперь банды мародеров, воров, убийц и насильников бродят по Свободной стране, Украине, подвергшейся жестокому нападению страны, временами голодающей России. Дорогой Руссо, пусть знает об этом кто угодно. Вы вернетесь, чтобы оценить эту великолепную музыку
@кино - фильмы возможно вы еще не поняли одного: Россия напала на страну. Люди защищаются. Кто угодно будет. Даже Россия, если бы на нее напали. Но в России есть дух трусости: она нападает на меньшую страну с меньшим количеством солдат. Тогда украинцы имеют ПРАВО защищаться. Но, если русские воюют ФЕЕЙ против ВС....... А они нет. Они убивают женщин и детей, трусливо. Они насилуют своих женщин даже в присутствии детей. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Они убивают мирных жителей, бегущих со станций. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Это война. Глупая агрессивная война. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Тссс !!
@кино - фильмы Видите ли, вы не поняли, вы, русские, пособники геноцида, после долбёжной промывки мозгов вашего кровавого диктатора (человека с психическими проблемами) я сказал, что вы уже самые ненавистные в мире. И будешь им столько десятилетий. Вы склонны к суициду. Целый народ подчиняется сумасшедшему мяснику. Я поклонник литературных гениев, таких как Толстой и Достоевский. Но они были русскими, принадлежавшими к роду русских, которого больше не существует, погребенных в безумии под названием «коммунизм», которое убило миллионы людей в ГУЛАГе, а затем исчезло навсегда, обанкротившись, в 1991 году. Кровожадный безумный преступник Владимир Путин хочет возродить несостоявшееся и коррумпированное государство, подобное Советскому Союзу, где мы, когда были молодыми, ходили на хуй, покупая женщину с пачкой сигарет Marlboro. Я вижу, вы ничего не знаете о массовых убийствах. Смени телеканал!
Дорогой русский друг, Прежде всего, мир вам. Я ни на кого не работаю, мне никто не платит. Я частный гражданин Италии. Но я возмущен жестокими новостями и изображениями, свидетелями которых мы являемся. Целые города стерты с лица земли, женщины и дети беспомощно убиты русскими солдатами и бомбами. Женщин насилуют и насилуют российские солдаты, которые бродят по Украине в отчаянии и голоде. Детей убивают на глазах у их матерей. Вы также должны увидеть душераздирающие образы детей-сирот, играющих в развалинах, оплакивающих трупы папы или мамы. Россия сейчас самая ненавистная страна в мире и будет ею еще несколько десятилетий. Эти дети никогда не забудут, помните. Но многие ваши сограждане этого не знают и не верят, потому что ваше телевидение фальшивое. Ваша пропаганда заставила вас поверить, что вы боретесь с нацистами. Но настоящие нацисты - это русские: они вторгаются в свободную и суверенную страну, убивают женщин и детей. Есть банды русских солдат, которые бродят по деревням, воруют еду: они голодны. Армия оставляет их без еды. Но они не дают вам знать, что Я знаю, что ты не смеешь протестовать, потому что тебя бросают в тюрьму. Многие российские солдаты погибли или умирают, их трупы России не нужны. Но они не сообщают вам об этом. Вы становитесь бедной страной. Но они не дают вам знать, что

@@LittleLulubee yes, sadly the governmental structure in Russia hasn’t changed much since late 80s. But hopefully it will change in future; we all hope so♥️
This is a brilliant song. I heard it when I was a kid in the 80's, but I understood the lyrics right away and I felt the adult emotion of fearing for your children's safety. A masterpiece and relevant as ever. And those slow-swelling, sticky synth pads: it's perfection. 👍
He doesn't know what Russians are like, so he sings nonsense. Russians screw up their children, finally understand it! They don't even care about their own lives, they don't care about the lives of others.
Literature of the time pointed out that Russians DID love their children very much, though the relationship could be very controlling. Studied Poly Sci at the time in University. Was fascinating and adored this entire album.
@@ekramer2478 Common sense points this out as well. Of course, the Russians love their children too. Stating the obvious can be as mind-opening as stating an enigma. The album is awesome.

If everyone loved their children, there would be no war. Where you are born or what religion your parents are shouldn't define who you are allowed to love or who you are expected to hate. The world IS people. Don't let politicians tell you who you can coexist with. I love you.
This song is very topical again. I hope that the Ukraine conflict ends without bloodshed. I hope the Russians love their children too. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
This is the wrong way of posing your question. I hope the Ukrainians love their children too. Ukraine is not a real nation. In Russian Empire, any people who lived near its edges were called Ukrainians (from Russian u kraia (near the edge). So any Russians who lived near the edge of the empire were called ukrainian. They will tell you bullshit like they invented the wheel or that the ancient Egyptians learned techniques for building pyramids from ancient Ukrs.

I'm 52 years old, and I knew this song when it was NEW. Then it suddenly started popping into my head in the past week, over and over.
Same here..
Omg , this song came into mind instantly .I am 54 .
Same to me. I'm 54 years old, born and living in Germany. I bought the album "Dream of the blue turtles" when it was released at 1985 and listened to "Russians" the first time at age 17. Already at this time I was deeply moved by the song.
When I heard it again last week on radio - more than 35 years later - I started crying bitterly and had to drive my car to the right, because I was too shaken to drive and had to calm down first.
Same, I am turning 50 this summer. This situation is an unbelievable nightmare. Did you see Sting's recent posting of singing it now as an older man? Brings so many feelings. Let's visualize this ending now, and the world coming together to help Ukraine heal and rebuild, but also doing the same for victims of cruelty elsewhere too. Peace.

Being against war sounds noble, but does not describe reality. Being against violence, does not mean to wait for something bad to happen and then respond. The police for instance catches criminals before they can act, to prevent harm from happening! This too can involve violence, sad but true! In the case of Russia having an operation in the Ukraine, the Russian view is, that they feel very much under threat by the USA.
America has something that is called "The Monroe doctrine", it forbids any distant great power to put military forces into the western hemisphere! In the case of Ukraine, the coup d'etat that was openly sponsored by the west in 2014 brought the Ukraine basically under US rule, Hunter Biden, the son of Biden even works at a gas and oil company there! The US and NATO are not the only problem, as the Ukraine has a government that consists of people who are openly Nazis. These are politicians who on camera said that all Russians, Jews and Germans, etc. should be killed! Ukraine has named streets after Nazi criminals and even erected statues for mass murderers who were Nazis. The AZOV Battalion, the Right Sector and Aidar are just some of the fruits of Ukrainian Nazi mentality which was also openly enforced by western nations as for instance Scott Ritter admitted.
The puppet government in the Ukraine tried to cover this all up by installing a Jewish president who is an actor. Before he became president the man played a president in an Ukrainian Tv Soap Opera. Then suddenly a new political party surfaced in the Ukraine with the very same name as the show! Surprise! The candidate was the actor from the show! Western powers supported heavy militarization of Ukraine, which lead to 14.000 deaths in the Donbass region which was clearly against the coup d'etat. The US installed Biological Laboratories in the Ukraine to research biological weapons, which goes against the Geneva Convention and is a crime against humanity! This all lead to a reaction of Russia as the Superpower next door...

Different "leaders", same mistakes. Strange thing is that the children Sting was refering to when he wrote this song, the 70/80's kids are now the adults making the mistakes they dreaded as children! Let's hope one day we will learn not to continue making the sames mistakes and that just as this song is timeless, everyone loves their kids enough for this planet to have a chance!
Sergio, if I may; it's not the grown up Russian children from the 70/80's making any mistakes, whatsoever. It's their leaders, as well as the western world leaders playing the game of divide and conquer. No one blamed American adults when the USA invaded Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan et al....and we still haven't found any weapons of mass destruction! "Oh well, never mind, our mistake (thousands of unnecessary deaths, and oodles of stolen raw materials, later" ;-D

A smart person once said.. our saving grace was that the people who lived under the Soviet Union believed in the sanctity of Life... The Russian population, regardless of their captivity of the Soviet government has a strong Christian base. Even the elite within the Soviet regime knew a nuclear war was not winnable. I thank God for that. Rational thinking on both sides prevented that. I cannot say the same for Muslim extremists who don't value the Sanctity of Life. That is why it is imperative for those people to never have access to nuclear arsenal.

There is a Dutch song, called "de Bom" by Doe maar, that's about not worrying about a bomb. Whether America, Germany, Russia throws them, it will not chance that you should focus on your loved ones, instead of money or profits.
He sings: I need to get my diploma, before the bomb drops. Need to get my healthinsurance fixed, before the bomb drops. But if the bomb drops.. well then I'll lay there in my fancy suit, cheques and diplomas in my pocket, my nice vocabulary and healthinsurance all covered.. under the rubblr of the skyscrapers in the city, next to you. So let it drop then, it'll happen anyway, it doesn't matter if you run or not. I'd like to get to know who you are, i've never gotten to know you and I'd like to know who you are."

It's hard to imagine how Sting wrote this song 37 years ago and now it's all over again. Unbelievable.
Speaking of it's all over again, the west invaded Europe and Africa and Russia was there to clean it up while you bark at Russians for doing their job, of protecting their own.
This happened over and over again yet no one learns a damn thing about anything.
Especially today. NATO invaded Europe and is attacking Russia while magically Russia is an invaidor on it's own lands ...
Same was applied to Serbia and bunch of other who NATO is in war with. NATO invades and kills natives magically those natives are the aggressors and are invading themselves.
Do world a favor and just f-ck off. Especially things you can't comprehend even a concept of let alone the entire thing, nor clearly want to even try to learn.
The west and their zombies should leave out of their filthy mouths the countries that are centuries far older then your pathetic fake ones, in any negative way.
Because whatever your spoiledass have today is thanks to those same old countries your officials butcher and pillage.
And what is going on from Your point of view? Have You ever been in Russia? You think there lives 145M people who don't love their children and whant war, realy?
because history tends to repeat itself
@@kippe1221 yes, but it's crazy how soon. Sting was not that young when he wrote the song, and he is not THAT old now.

Prayers for Earth
"I hope the Britains and Americans love their children too".
I write this poetic text for music (song) and translate with chatGPT from russian lang to english:
My wondrous world, you still breathe bright,
The nature’s light and birds in flight.
While at the borders gather mice,
And a hegemon’s their prince, precise.
Life flows like rivers, Moscow, Thames,
The water's dark, don’t try to claim.
On Dniper's shores, the children live,
Who wishes them no chance to give?
I know the south brings mountains high,
In the north, there’s snow, and ice in the sky.
The east is beautiful, this I behold,
Yet who brings evil, who turns cold?
Is it Captain Jack who leads the fray?
Or the Queen of Spades come out to play?
Or a wicked Yeti awakened from sleep?
Yet he isn’t many-faced, just deep.
I know from heavens, the bombs descend,
Rockets fly, and bullets blend.
Currency flows like rivers of blood,
We edge towards a hellish flood.
God is love, but what’s the Devil’s game?
Why does he seek your soul in shame?
Behind the mask, no riches show,
Debts as awards, yet beauty’s glow.
So fill your pockets, tighten your grasp,
Dust off your flaws with a careful clasp.
The less you have inside, the more you show,
With all of this, just let it flow.
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
On original language (music - Sting "Shape of my hearth"):
Мой дивный мир ты всё же дышишь
Природы свет и пенье птиц
А у границ собираются мыши
И гегемон их принц
Жизнь льёт рекой, Москва и Темза
Вода темна, не пробуй пить
А на Днепре живут обычные дети
Кто хочет их убить?
Я знаю что юг - это горы и Рио
На севере снег, Исландия, лёд
Я знаю, что восток это тоже красиво
Так кто же зло несёт?
Может это капитан Джек?
Может это дама пик?
А может это злой, проснувшийся Йети?
Но он не многолик...
Я знаю что там с неба падают бомбы
Ракеты летят и пули свистят
Валюта льёт рекой, рекой чёрной крови
Мы приближаем ад
Thats not a shape, shape of my hearth
Бог есть любовь, но что есть Дьявол?
Зачем ему твоя душа?
За маской ни гроша, долги как награда
Но внешность хороша
Так что ж набей карман потуже
Припудри все прыщи
Чем меньше у тебя внутри - тем больше снаружи
И с этим всем плыви.

Russian here. I first heard this song as a child and noticed my father had teared up. Thirty-two years later, now a parent myself, I understand why. This is the power of art.
My condolences. Let's all hope this nightmare ends soon. Both the russians and the ukrainians have suffered enough from their crazed out leaders
@@snowballthecat7542 Thank you. Ukrainian cities are being bombed, so I am not sure the suffering can be compared. On the other hand, they have hope and reasons to be optimistic about the future.
Russian cities are also bombed. but this war began a long time ago ,and the Russians did not want this war
I was blubbering when I heard it for the first time again,recently. I have not lost everything or any family members yet but it seems like it will continue to grow in intensity and area
@@snowballthecat7542 It's the russian leader who is crazed out, while the Ukrainians just defend themselves. Fixed that for you.
I heard this song as a child and it really opened my eyes. We use to have nuclear war drills at school and watch films about what to do in case of nuclear war. I remember being scared of and hating the Russians/Soviets and playing war with my friends where we pretended to be fighting them. The thought that there was some Russian kid out there thinking the same thing about me never entered my mine till I heard this song. It upset me then bc I realized I didn't hate anyone I was scared and wanted to protect the people I loved. Thinking there might be some people on the "other side" that actually loved their children gave me real hope that maybe we could avoid a nuclear war and perhaps find some way to get along. I now have children and there's no doubt that the Russians love their children too. We are all human. Thank you Sting for teaching me and giving me insight about the world.
Эту песню написал западный человек для западных людей. Не обманывайте сами себя: вы не знаете, кто у власти в России. Вы думаете: «они такие же, как мы». Нет. Путин сказал недавно: «они все сдохнут, а мы попадем в рай».
pero a veces hay . . .
I’m going to really go meta and blow your mind here, and tell you that the chorus of this song is actually a song by Sergei Prokofiev called “Lieutenant Kizhe” which is about a military cover up and is a satire about bureaucracy.
This song was written BY a Russian, almost 100 years ago, to mock the military.
We have innumerable problems as a global society and in microcosms in the various countries within and along their borders. I fear we are accelerating to total annihilation and extinction. I don't think there are enough people who remain that choose to see the good in their enemies any longer.
I've been arguing against fellow "leftists" why punching Nazis is morally bankrupt. And they don't understand these principles. Countries will be ripped apart. And the world will be no better off.
@@SocialistStrike you’re not a leftist you’re a progressive. You don’t believe in socialism, you’re a caricature of it. “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered” remember? Under no pretext. That means that punching Nazis or shooting bad guys is the right thing to do, even if you don’t like it.
March 2024,The feeling is still the same😕 human beings never learn the lessons from the past..
Lorsqu'on observe le monde et ceux qui sont aux manettes, c'est devenu pire et l'escalade semble inévitable et catastrophe.
Merci Sting pour ta puissance de voix ❤
As long as russia continues to exist, there will be no peace on the planet
And the lesson is - the PEOPLE of all lands regardless of religion, politics or nationality need to stand up and say NO to the power hungry leaders who care not for anything but their own status, power and wealth.
It is very PROFITABLE for the government to SCARE people: prices can be raised, salaries and social benefits dropped - "Russians r coming / Putin is coming".
THEY r not coming, NATO is doing it.
Well written
Who'd have thought this song would be so poignantly relevant in 2022!
I graduated from High School in 1988, at the end of the Reagan Era. I lived this time as a teenager in SoCal. I remember what a big deal it was when Billy Joel was allowed to hold a concert in the former Soviet Union. 99 Red Balloons and Wolverines! ;-)
I graduated in 1987 and lived near D.C. and remember the desk drills and going to sleep at night worrying about war. This song needs to be heard as an anthem; nobody wants this. I'm in America and I'm praying for all. The soldiers don't want this and the innocent people definitely don't want this. I hope they come to their senses, and no one has to lose their life. Stay Safe
The Cold War never truly ended. It just simmered down for 25-30 years and has only truly heated up this past decade again. It's no surprise whatsoever that this Cold War song stayed relevant. It will forever remain relevant as long as we Earthlings continue to recognize borders and sovereignty over land and resources, instead of progressing and sharing, co-operating, advancing as one people.

How many people died during all this time in Ukraine at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists? And as soon as Russia clenched its fists, tons of hatred flew into it, patient mother. And it would be nice to hate what is just, no, this hatred comes from a monstrous lie! ... And the refusal to treat children with cancer - is this not Nazism?
World has gone mad. Humanity has no hope. Many countries have proven that they are biorobots, some kind of monsters.

@@Zlato7 This song isn’t about hating Russians, it’s about world leaders that threaten to annihilate one another with nuclear weapons, which Kruschev and Putin have threatened to do.

Sting's voice + synthesizer = masterpiece 🌟
Such a beautiful film clip. Its giving production design from Fritz Lang and early 1920s directors. The use of black and white an integral touch. A true masterstroke of the video clip era.
Sting went through a phase of black and white vids around this time. Russians, The Lazarus Heart, We''ll Be Together and Every Breath You Take a few years earlier.
This song by Sting, in the midst of the cold war, was a courageous voice and, at the same time, opportune, since an extremely inquisitive speech prevailed about everything that bore the name of Soviet or Russian. He pointed out that Russians are human beings like us, regardless of who was at the head of their government. A unique sight, in a dark time.
A few months ago, I listened to this song, and thought: "Nowadys, this song is out of fashion, and it has lost its sense". Now, it has recovered all the sense again.

Not really, you are projecting just like this pathetic song back in a day. It's a political creation that have zero touch with reality and a thing of a past.
What is happening today is somewhat similar but the politics are different however evident you once again fail to realize what is going on and even if the truth hits you in the head you will continue to bark at Russians because you are born this way.
You are your own enemy that is the saddest truth, you don't need Russians or anything else for that to blame but yourselves.

@Phelan The true God (Hebrew Yahweh) created Lucifer/Satan.
Satan has free will to agree to obey or disobey God as all people also do.
I believe God knows the end from the beginning dependant upon actions/ine tions of Angel's and people.
I think a concept of pre- destination based on all lives is an erroneous understanding of biblical scripture.
God is outside of time,he therefore knows the end from the beginning based on what happens.
@Phelan I think God knows the consequences of all actions when they happen/are carried out by angels/people.
However, we can't be free unless we desire to choose his loving influence by the Holy Spirit(Gods spirit) in our lives.
Because of the intense rebellion against God it would appear the consequences of these actions will create what is written about in biblical scripture.
However,there is hope promised for those who want to follow Yeshua the messiah.
The alternative is horrible but many people do not want to repent and follow Yeshua.They prefer the rebellious sinful lifestyle.
These people will be rejected by God in eternity because they have rejected his ways and hope of salvation found through following Yeshua.

The media here in the USA are beating the drums of war for clicks and views on their websites. "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday other world leaders have been overstating the likelihood of war between his country and Russia, causing "panic" and destabilizing Kyiv's economy." Both sides are playing a game of chess, none of the leaders will pay the price. :(
But there were three U.S. presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and, yes, even Donald Trump, reaching out to Russia in good faith, even for the sake of avoiding a nuclear war. Now it comes this professional politician, President Biden, who should know better but he does not, and thus he puts all of us at risk because he just does not understand the security needs of the Russian Federation.
Unbelievable this came out in 1985 and even more relevant now than it was then.

Nothing has changed here either
What nonsense!!! What a lie!!!! How many lies in this world on the righteous and such sincere faces!!!

There is no doubt about who is the aggressor in this conflict, and it isn’t Ukraine. You and your countrymen have every right to defend yourself, and that includes killing Russian soldiers when necessary.
What I am also saying. Is that the Russian people have been lied to and coerced into the war. That a corrupt and oppressive regime have taken over their country. Lots of Russians are partly to be blamed for this, but a lot are not as well. In fact a fair amount are against Putin and the war.

You have no idea how relevant this song was at the time, if I'm not mistaken, the mid-80s. The feeling that the manipulated majority had when it came to the Russian people, was that of a faceless, stereotypical enemy. Hence fear arose of what could come out of such people. Sting, boldly, observed that there are differences only in the extent of human beings. He was able to see people, instead of stereotypes. This is more current than you think.

I think most sane people understand that the Russian people are just like everyone else. We are all brothers and sisters under one sky. No need to fight.
It’s truly fascinating. This song was published 30 years ago, this person posted the video 13 years ago, and the algorithm recommended this seemingly a year ago. Not only that, but you see many comments from different languages and different time periods. I was just a baby born in 1986, so i really didnt have any memory of the Soviet Union, but seeing so many others share their experiences of that era is breathtaking, but also chilling that we are in such uncertain times again.
I write this as of July 21, 2023, and I hope this account is still active so the algorithm does a loop around again and recommends this moment of history for others to see.

Мы, из Италии, со всего Запада каждый день слышим ужасные новости, о которых русские ничего не знают, потому что их диктатура, во главе которой стоит кровожадный и свирепый преступник Путин, не в состоянии объявить Правду.
Теперь банды мародеров, воров, убийц и насильников бродят по Свободной стране, Украине, подвергшейся жестокому нападению страны, временами голодающей России.
Дорогой Руссо, пусть знает об этом кто угодно.
Вы вернетесь, чтобы оценить эту великолепную музыку
@кино - фильмы возможно вы еще не поняли одного: Россия напала на страну. Люди защищаются. Кто угодно будет. Даже Россия, если бы на нее напали. Но в России есть дух трусости: она нападает на меньшую страну с меньшим количеством солдат. Тогда украинцы имеют ПРАВО защищаться.
Но, если русские воюют ФЕЕЙ против ВС....... А они нет. Они убивают женщин и детей, трусливо. Они насилуют своих женщин даже в присутствии детей. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Они убивают мирных жителей, бегущих со станций. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Это война. Глупая агрессивная война. Но российские СМИ об этом не говорят. Тссс !!
@кино - фильмы Видите ли, вы не поняли, вы, русские, пособники геноцида, после долбёжной промывки мозгов вашего кровавого диктатора (человека с психическими проблемами) я сказал, что вы уже самые ненавистные в мире. И будешь им столько десятилетий. Вы склонны к суициду. Целый народ подчиняется сумасшедшему мяснику. Я поклонник литературных гениев, таких как Толстой и Достоевский. Но они были русскими, принадлежавшими к роду русских, которого больше не существует, погребенных в безумии под названием «коммунизм», которое убило миллионы людей в ГУЛАГе, а затем исчезло навсегда, обанкротившись, в 1991 году.
Кровожадный безумный преступник Владимир Путин хочет возродить несостоявшееся и коррумпированное государство, подобное Советскому Союзу, где мы, когда были молодыми, ходили на хуй, покупая женщину с пачкой сигарет Marlboro.

Дорогой русский друг,
Прежде всего, мир вам.
Я ни на кого не работаю, мне никто не платит.
Я частный гражданин Италии.
Но я возмущен жестокими новостями и изображениями, свидетелями которых мы являемся. Целые города стерты с лица земли, женщины и дети беспомощно убиты русскими солдатами и бомбами. Женщин насилуют и насилуют российские солдаты, которые бродят по Украине в отчаянии и голоде. Детей убивают на глазах у их матерей. Вы также должны увидеть душераздирающие образы детей-сирот, играющих в развалинах, оплакивающих трупы папы или мамы.
Россия сейчас самая ненавистная страна в мире и будет ею еще несколько десятилетий. Эти дети никогда не забудут, помните.
Но многие ваши сограждане этого не знают и не верят, потому что ваше телевидение фальшивое.
Ваша пропаганда заставила вас поверить, что вы боретесь с нацистами.
Но настоящие нацисты - это русские: они вторгаются в свободную и суверенную страну, убивают женщин и детей.
Есть банды русских солдат, которые бродят по деревням, воруют еду: они голодны. Армия оставляет их без еды.
Но они не дают вам знать, что
Я знаю, что ты не смеешь протестовать, потому что тебя бросают в тюрьму.
Многие российские солдаты погибли или умирают, их трупы России не нужны.
Но они не сообщают вам об этом.
