I was driving in the middle of the night in GTA IV, just enjoying Liberty City with Niko, when I decided to give the game's Russian radio a try, this was the first song that played and I don't know how to explain it but I loved it

Great song ! For those who don't know, the name of the song is due to the fact that on the sleeve of the soldiers were written their blood type if a transfusion had to be done quickly
actually not. Numbers and blood type was put on chest becouse slaves were to easy to rip in battle. Many Tsoi fans have theory becouse of that this song is about methaporical war, not real one.

First heard this song years ago on one of my favorite streamers videos. It grabbed me right away. And that chorus is just hauntingly beautiful. I don’t understand a word of Russian but that guitar, that bass, and those drums behind his voice are trying to tell you something very important. You might not understand the language in the song, but you can FEEL it.
That part is implied, not explicitly stated. If you were proficient in both English and Russian, then you would understand that from Russian to English always has a “rough” translation. People listening to this song understand the context of “ not to stay in the grass”. If the whole song was sung in English most people could understand it.

Life was good, meaningful. It was rich. Not rich in terms of money, but rich culturally, intellectually, and healthwise. To be young was fun, with knowledge free and easily accessible, with the culture at every corner, and sports for everyone. The pace was slow: plenty of time to think, learn, analyze. But it was also the height of the Cold War. We were young, rebellious, and easy to manipulate. We were never satisfied with what we were given. We took for granted everything. At night, we were glued to our radio receivers, listening to the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other broadcasting services aiming at discrediting socialism and all countries which were fighting against Western imperialism. Czech socialist industrial conglomerates were building, in solidarity, entire factories, from steel to sugar mills, in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. But we saw no glory in this because Western propaganda outlets were simply ridiculing such undertakings. Our cinemas were showing masterpieces of Italian, French, Soviet, Japanese cinema. But we were told to demand junk from the US. The music offering was great, from live to recorded. Almost all music was, actually, available although with some delay, in local stores or even on stage. What was not sold in our stores was nihilist rubbish. But that was precisely what we were told to desire. And we did desire it, and copied it with religious reverence, on our tape recorders. If something was not available, the Western media outlets were shouting that it is a gross violation of free speech. They knew, and they still know now, how to manipulate young brains. At some point, we were converted into young pessimists, criticizing everything in our countries, without comparing, without even a tiny bit of objectivity. We were told, and we repeated: Everything in the Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia was bad. Everything in the West was great. Yes, it was like some fundamentalist religion or mass-madness. Hardly anyone was immune. Actually, we were infected, we were sick, turned into idiots. We were using public, socialist facilities, from libraries to theaters, subsidized cafes, to glorify the West and smear our own nations. This is how we were indoctrinated, by Western radio and television stations, and by publications smuggled into the two countries. In those days, plastic shopping bags from the West became the status symbols! You know, those bags that you get in some cheap supermarkets or department stores. When I think about it at a distance of several decades, I can hardly believe it: Young educated boys and girls, proudly walking down the streets, exhibiting cheap plastic shopping bags, for which they paid a serious amount of money. Because they came from the West. Because they were symbolizing consumerism! Because we were told that consumerism is good. We were told that we should desire "freedom". Western-style freedom. We were instructed to "fight for freedom". In many ways, we were much freer than the West. I realized it when I first arrived in New York and saw how badly educated local children of my age were, and how shallow their knowledge of the world was; and how little culture there was in regular midsize North American cities. Our food was tastier, ecologically produced. But we wanted colorful Western packaging. We demanded chemicals. - Andre Vltchek

Omnistar, thanks so much for this video. I must have watched it 100 times - there's something so surreal about the Soviet Afghan war, especially set to this music - like it's an alternate universe. Especially as somebody from the West. This song inspired me to learn Russian. I'm 4 months in so far and understand more and more every day! As Victor would say "Пожелай мне удачи"
When I was studying Soviet-Afghan war, this was the first russian song I was introduced to, including Kino. Since then I've been hooked on it as well as other russian songs. This music hits hard with every Soviet Afghan war montages I've seen.
@user-bt7jn5kr3p Both the Soviet Union and the West made the same mistake in Afghanistan, but all we did was make it worse. Hopefully we can make peace for the future ✌️

Holy crap I LOVE this song! Kino is, in my opinion, one of if not the best bands from Russia. They're up there with Molchat Doma. Also may Viktor Tsoi rest in peace. Edit: NVM. Kino number one! Molchat Doma is still good though.
Molchat doma are up there, close to Kino, not the other way around. Kino is the best Russian band and the original. Molchat doma got influenced by Kino. Molchat doma are awesome, but Kino is always number one !
There's so much mid/subpar music from 80s/90s Russia that sounds just like this, but once you realize it's about the wars they fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and beyond, it becomes some of the best music you've ever heard. I love this stuff.
thank you omni, our family enjoy this music and we share this together. again thank you, wish you the best and hope you keep doing the things you love and sharing this music with us
I love listening to Soviet era songs or post ones since they feel different on what normally I hear as a western person and plus translation truly helps understand the natural vagueness of artists songs. Truly a Vietnam war like war on which the powerful one turns out to be incapable.
Those Mil-24s protecting that Il-76 is powerful image... It took guts to go against Stingers to protect that aircraft... Maybe it was Black Tulip flight as well... And to have that guitar as background music... ❤ Perfect job editing.
What do Soviet and US infantrymen have in common? The Afghan flashback. The country looks the same even after 40 years... Just different soldiers (read - young men) who are ordered to fight in a foreign country and had to left with... unaccomplished mission, lost friends, empty souls. Big thanks @OmnistarEast for the subtitles in both languages! Edit: I'd translate the chorus as 'Wish me a good luck in this coming battle. Wish me not to be left on this grassfield" meaning to survive and get home alive.

I discovered this on Vladivostok FM and the way Ruslana, the DJ, always introduces this is always in a jolly manner, shouting the words, 'GRUPPA KROVI!' damn I didn't know this was a melancholic song.
despite being non russian (ethiopian), despite experiencing no military, or no any warzone, despite being just a random dude on a computer who doesn't get out of home, i feel this is my type of song, my type of life........... i think i should experience the army
its supposedly an anti-war song, not glorifying the army... you might want to read up on it. I don't think it's supposed to invite you into joining the army. however. good luck on whichever path you're choosing, but choose well. You might not be able to go back.
Man, i dont think you understand the message of this song. Its about how much you can lose if you go to a war. Its not telling you to join the army because its fun, but the exacr opposite

Oh we'll make it out of Afghanistan.....in a black tulip....
Omnistar, thanks so much for this video. I must have watched it 100 times - there's something so surreal about the Soviet Afghan war, especially set to this music - like it's an alternate universe. Especially as somebody from the West.
This song inspired me to learn Russian. I'm 4 months in so far and understand more and more every day!
As Victor would say "Пожелай мне удачи"
Удачи)
я твой язык знаю. посмотрим как ты изучишь мой)
Когда я первый раз в юности услышала эту песню, мне показалась, что она про далекий космос и космический десант...
Dmitry Bivol's entrance last night 🤩love this song now!
Always love KINO music, nice job in making this vid, Comrade Omnistar❤💖👍
Why do you call each other comrade?

When I was studying Soviet-Afghan war, this was the first russian song I was introduced to, including Kino. Since then I've been hooked on it as well as other russian songs.
This music hits hard with every Soviet Afghan war montages I've seen.
Эти песни были, как будто бы созданы для этой войны.
Мы хотели принести Мир.. Не получилось
@user-bt7jn5kr3p Both the Soviet Union and the West made the same mistake in Afghanistan, but all we did was make it worse. Hopefully we can make peace for the future ✌️
@@thomitch1995 изучи историю того периода, как русские оказались в Афганистане? Кто их туда пригласил? С кем воевали? ... Историю событий 2008 года в грузии, войну во вьетнаме и корее и сейчас на украине... Что объединяет эти войны? Почитай, будет интересно...

What a beautiful song, full of feeling just a human being tired of war as any other wishing for a peaceful life.
Framing the cuts to follow the beat of the music is such a good idea and barely anyone ever does it. It is a music video, truly!
Афганистан - боль наших сердец... Группа Кино написали песни на века! Цой жив!
цой мертв
Да, в том смысле, что надо было оттуда не уходить, как и из Германии. Сейчас было бы меньше проблем
there's something about Kino that just makes me never want to stop listening. song after song i can't stop. it's too good.
Man having this song going to a anime game is wild
lol, I expected this comment when I clicked on "newest"
As expected after saw that trailer
what anime ?
What game
@@FutureGohanGlazer Codename: Cedar
Holy crap I LOVE this song! Kino is, in my opinion, one of if not the best bands from Russia. They're up there with Molchat Doma. Also may Viktor Tsoi rest in peace.
Edit: NVM. Kino number one! Molchat Doma is still good though.
Molchat doma are Belorussian, aren't they?
@@the_air_ocelot They are, but they sing in Russian.
Molchat doma are up there, close to Kino, not the other way around. Kino is the best Russian band and the original. Molchat doma got influenced by Kino. Molchat doma are awesome, but Kino is always number one !
Soviet band.
@@nickzourb190 Seems to be an oversight on my part. You're right.
Happy 61st brithday viktor tsoi!
Thank you Omnistar, for upploading these bangers
you're soon at a well deserved 100k
🎉
Цой Жив навсегда в наших сердцах!
¡ que magnifica canción e increíble canal !saludos camaradas👏
I've had this song stuck in my head for years and I will never pass up an opportunity to listen to this.
Thanks for the upload!
Coming here after Bivol ring walk. A big fans of Russian fighters and Kino. Grettings from Mexico
Это именно то что мы ждали!)))
Спасибо Вам!)
HELL YEAH!
I've been waiting for a Gruppa Krovi vid for a while now, KINO is so legendary.
Wait!.. KITE MAN?!
I've loved this song for years but the archive footage in the back makes it all the more special. Цой жив!
Surprised this most iconic song took so long, awesome job as always!
1988:Это лучшая песня на свете
2008:Oh its a song from GTA IV
2024:I heard this song from Codename Cedar trailer
I also came here from Cedar
It brought you to dome good music
Soviet songs are always bangers
There's so much mid/subpar music from 80s/90s Russia that sounds just like this, but once you realize it's about the wars they fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and beyond, it becomes some of the best music you've ever heard. I love this stuff.
🔥Who’s here after Bivol Beterbiev? 👊
Me
Я тут, братан
В бою была ничья, по-моему мнению
who now?
I'm a big Artur fan but Bivol is warrior and a class act!
when the world needed him most he returned
I love Кино и Виктор Цой ❤❤❤ Большое спасибо тебе ❤🎉❤
Thank you for such great compilations! For me as a Russian, it means a lot.
songs and music videos like this makes me feel that i have been there before
One again another banger! Another good song by Kino is Star called sun. Love the amazing work Omni
thank you omni, our family enjoy this music and we share this together. again thank you, wish you the best and hope you keep doing the things you love and sharing this music with us
он вернулся! Спасибо за лучшую хронику под замечательные песни)
Слава и вечная память Советским воинам-интернационалистам!

Not really... It is anti war bro. No surprise why our kind (Russians) are being called retards... @@ZFG001

@@al774 длббствуешь, чубатое?
Это одна из лучших песен Кино, которые только могли существовать.
I love this song. It’s even better when I drink some vodka on a road trip across state
I love listening to Soviet era songs or post ones since they feel different on what normally I hear as a western person and plus translation truly helps understand the natural vagueness of artists songs. Truly a Vietnam war like war on which the powerful one turns out to be incapable.
Bivol is a savage 🥊
love how you wrote Gruppa Krovi with letters. It would have been a dream to have the entire song written in letters :)
This song holds a very special place in my heart, thank you for this video😊
Everyone of his songs is absolutely incredible
Bivols entrance ❤💪
Came here because of him
Those Mil-24s protecting that Il-76 is powerful image... It took guts to go against Stingers to protect that aircraft... Maybe it was Black Tulip flight as well... And to have that guitar as background music... ❤ Perfect job editing.
The song that introduced me to Kino, and is probably my favourite song of all time now.
Omnistar droped another masterpiece. You made my day, thanks!
What do Soviet and US infantrymen have in common?
The Afghan flashback.
The country looks the same even after 40 years... Just different soldiers (read - young men) who are ordered to fight in a foreign country and had to left with... unaccomplished mission, lost friends, empty souls.
Big thanks @OmnistarEast for the subtitles in both languages!
Edit: I'd translate the chorus as 'Wish me a good luck in this coming battle. Wish me not to be left on this grassfield" meaning to survive and get home alive.
Почитай историю и причины войны в Афганистане
The British redcoat, the Soviet conscript, the American soldier. 3 different worlds, three different centuries, all swallowing dust in that accursed land...
@@MajesticOakесли бы британцев там не было, и они не лезли туда со своей "Большой игрой", то и СССР тоже бы не зашёл в Афганистан. Имхо.
Опять же, где Афганистан и где остров Великобритании и США?🤷🏼♀️ Надо и нам залезть в Ирландию и в Канаду, навести там бардак
@@VasilyevaEkaterina After thousands of years of warfare and chaos, I'm sure that it was the British who messed up the middle east...
@@VasilyevaEkaterina Those who only ever seek to point out the splinters in others eyes; not caring about the twigs in their own... will go blind first.
I am not here to tell you "west good" and "russia bad" or whatever.
But if you constantly only ever think ALL the problems of this world only and exclusively stem from "the others"...once "the others" are gone; who will you blame when no paradise sets in?
Have a nice day; stay safe.
I love KINO from Philippines!
Excellent, thanks for posting! This might be the best song to come out of that damned war.
Ďakujem bratia za krásnu pieseň 🇸🇰🇷🇺👍
Привет словакам, привет из России.
tiež počúvam ❤ snáď bude dobre
bRaŤia lol
@@glum2187 nauč sa gramatiku ty anime incesťák
Спасибо и вам, братья
Probably the most anticipated song of your channel!
I discovered this on Vladivostok FM and the way Ruslana, the DJ, always introduces this is always in a jolly manner, shouting the words, 'GRUPPA KROVI!' damn I didn't know this was a melancholic song.
Coming from "Codename : Cedar"
let's see how many take the same path :3
Ayo kamerad. Really cant wait Codename : Cedar goes global
отличный перевод, песня и видео!👍
One of my favourite Kino songs ❤
Спокойная ночь and Группа Крови are outstanding songs! Kino are in a league of their own - brillant. I will never stop listening.
I couldn’t agree more, and Бошетунмай and Звезда are also great songs!
I've been looking for a well translated music video for this song for a long, long time. Thanks Omnistar.
despite being non russian (ethiopian), despite experiencing no military, or no any warzone, despite being just a random dude on a computer who doesn't get out of home, i feel this is my type of song, my type of life........... i think i should experience the army
Remember, son, what the soldiers in the Soviet army said: “Whoever served in the army does not laugh in the circus”..
its supposedly an anti-war song, not glorifying the army... you might want to read up on it. I don't think it's supposed to invite you into joining the army. however. good luck on whichever path you're choosing, but choose well. You might not be able to go back.
Man, i dont think you understand the message of this song. Its about how much you can lose if you go to a war. Its not telling you to join the army because its fun, but the exacr opposite
Don’t. And I wish you don’t stay in the grass.
@@Кипящийразум still not laughing
2:45 gosh, that would be my favorite part in this beautiful song
When the world finally unites as one this will be the anthem.
this was without a doubt worth the wait thanks omnistar
