Warning: the language of war is not a delicate one, nor is the language used in this song. To those who might be shocked by the kind of “non-normative lexicon” used here by Grebenshchikov, and who clearly have never been anywhere near a Russian military unit, I will say that this is nothing compared to what you could have heard form the defenders of Slaviansk. As for the message of the song – “we have been betrayed” – I am not saying that it is factually correct, only that it is emotionally right. I sure hope that those who died defending Slaviansk did not die in vain.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will start a major Latin America tour next week that will take him to Cuba and Argentina ahead of a summit in Brazil for the BRICS emerging economies, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The Kremlin says Putin visits Cuba next Friday. There he will meet with Cuban President Raul Castro and Fidel Castro, the father of the Cuban Revolution. Putin will travel from Cuba to Argentina for trade and energy talks with Argentine President Cristina Kirchner. In Brazil, Putin will attend the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup, in which Brazil will hand over hosting duties to Russia for the 2018 tournament. The summit for the BRICS group of developing countries will follow on July 15 in Fortaleza, Brazil. Almost three billion people live in the five BRICS nations.
We need a real revolution to remove the 0000.15 Crime Cabal out of every one of our countries!!
Shame on EU USA for supporting and orchestrating the destruction of Donbass!
They didn’t die in vain. They died for vanity.
Argentian is about to go into default, again.
A general comment. I am pro Russian but sentimental hypocritical lying and Soviet nostalgia does not help the Russian cause.

Another Russian song about war, with a video of the prologue to the current events, filmed most probably in the same geographic area some 70 years ago…
I cannot speak Russian, but am supposing these are truthful and possibly of interest to my brothers and sisters who can:
