I agree. I'm also no Juche-ist but North Korea's got some damn fine music as well.

EDIT: The Russian Version of the Soviet National anthem is better in my opinion.

This one is only faux-Soviet, but pretty epic sounding and funny lyrics.

Ducky and I were talking about Anarchists who can't resist Soviet paraphernalia and how squarely we fit into that group lol. I have a bunch of Red Army Choir on my iPod.

[Susurrus]

Ditto, plus I am wearing a soviet hat as we speak. :blushing:

It's not a fetish! I usually wear a beret! oh, wait....

Russian music is some of the best ever, so the Soviets benefited from this and took it into some pretty great directions.

Here's another Soviet favorite of mine....
Скрипка Пионера!
(The Pioneer's Violin, of course!)

I wear a beret. They're like the coolest hats ever

[Susurrus]

They are. :D

[Johnny Kerosene]

Shemaghs are my personal favorite as far as head wear goes.

[Susurrus]

I have one of those too, but I'd probably get shot if I ever actually wore it.

No one has mentioned Song of the Volga boatmen yet??

This is where we encode our Leninist brainwashing programs to convert the unsuspecting. You'll all be getting Mao tattoos on your chest and chiseling statues of Stalin out of hand soap within the month!

[Leonid Brozhnev]

I love this one, especially how they all rock side to side in sync :lol:

And you can't forget Polyushko Polye... I see Susurrus already posted it up, but I prefer the version with the epic middle...

I don't know if there's a reason for this, but this has the exact same tune as "The Red Army is the Strongest"

Wow!

Echelon's song is fantastic.
Orlandina is out of this world!
:cool::)

It's all I can to to prevent myself from grabbing a nice new bar of soap and carving away the bits that don't look like Stalin...

[-marx-]

The Soviet National anthem is absolutely brilliant.

You can D/L the whole cd of the Red Army Choir here:LINK. (http://chainsawfellatio2.blogspot.com/2010/06/red-army-choir-best-of-red-army-choir.html)

Yes!! You're absolutely right! Well spotted. Although the direct Russian translation name for the song is "White Army, Black Baron". There's also a Greek version of Partisan Song! There's two versions of Mavra Korakia, there's the Stalinist version and the ELAS version. The ELAS version has better lyrics.

[Susurrus]

Yes!! You're absolutely right! Well spotted. Although the direct Russian translation name for the song is "White Army, Black Baron". There's also a Greek version of Partisan Song!

Thank you. :) Well, the name of the song is The Red Army is the Strongest, White Army, Black Baron is the first line of the song. You mean the French Partisan's Song?

[Sir Comradical]

The Russian Partisan Song.

[Susurrus]

The Russian Partisan Song.

If you're talking about the one the Red Army Choir sings, that's French. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chant_des_Partisans

Learn something new everyday!

[Susurrus]

Learn something new everyday!

I think they use a Russian translation, so it's hard to tell. Then again, it might be French rendered incomprehensible by Russian accents. But yeah, it's the same song.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Honestly, i think the National Anthem kind of sucked.

Are you sure it's in english? I'm almost certain some parts are Russian.

Not a single part is in Russian. Find the Lyrics to that Irish song, than read them while the song was playing, I did that, then I was like "Oh shit, the whole thing's in english!"
