Being the weekend before Christmas, how about some tunes from the Soviet Army Choir? Here’s Jingle Bells, I love how they have Russlish lyrics.
If you are playing Whamageddon, don’t click on this next one! Baba daba dop!
Fun fact: At the beginning, the female weathercaster says something like “Oksana says don’t go outside!’. Oksana is a woman’s name that personifies a themometer.
A final one to contemplate, where the Red Army Choir sings the song written by a Jewish immigrant from Russia, longing for snow in California. It’s a strange world. Счастливого Рождества!
I observe that it’s the Soviet/Red Army Chorus. Not a Russian Army Chorus (assuming there even is one these days).
Putin may dream of restoring the supposed glory of the Soviet Union. But his vision doesn’t seem to extend beyond territory and military power. The idea that anything else might matter seems to be outside his comprehension. Economic welfare for the people? Anything resembling culture? Just no.
Actually, it is still around

It had to be reformed in 2016, but that was after 63 members were killed in a plane crash.
“Oksana is a woman’s name that personifies a themometer.”
