What a voice! I don't speak Russian, but when a singer is able to express feelings independant of the language of the listener - that is pure artistry!
On 25 December 2016, a Tupolev Tu-154 jetliner of the Russian Defence Ministry crashed into the Black Sea shortly after taking off from Sochi International Airport, Russia, while en route to Khmeimim Air Base, Syria. All 92 passengers, including 64 members of the Alexandrov Ensemble choir of the Russian Armed Forces, and crew aboard died. The aircraft had flown from Chkalovsky Airport and had landed at Sochi to refuel.
@matthis741 Well, I was half serious. The communism is dictatorship. You don't have any human right in communism. You have a crap life also. You don't have freedom whatsoever. That's communism. The democracy is the opposite of the communism. You have to chose the best form of government for your life. So I chose democracy because in democracy people don't die at someone's order. In democracy you have rights, freedom and a pretty good life. There are not concentration camps or walls that keep peoples in the country. In democracy, you also don't get tortured. It's as simple as that.
My favorite part of red army choir is when its either a roar of voices, or a low pitch hum, it gives off such an atmosphere. Especially the tone it is at 2:43, it makes me imagine a large looming structure in an overcast winter afternoon, and the structure seems to always look back at you.
the meaning is essentially a love story between a street merchant (peddler) with a peasant farmer who meet in a rye field - a lower class ballad typical of marxism

It's alright if it's in all capital words, it doesn't bother me, but it's just how you typed the sentence disturbed me.. Sorry if I may sound rude, I was just saying my problem with the comment.) Although, there is not exact problem, it's just how I see sentences that are written that way. Again, I am very sorry to sound rude, I'm sorry for making this comment on just my problem with "Incorrect" sentences. I am just like that, and I'm afraid I can't change that.
This is a master piece, great piece..the guy in the band, in the background looks like a young version of Putin. The soloist great voice, very talented, i hope he was not in the plane that crashed.
Take a look at the face of the choir members and musicians: morning dec. 25. 2016 - at the day this recording has been made - 64 member of the Alexandrov Ensemble (and further 28 people) died by Tupolev Tu-154 crash...
Does anyone have the name of this particular soloist? All of their soloist have been great throughout the years, but this one stand out to me. Unfortunately I couldn't find his name or any other performances he was involved in.
Just in case you can't read Cyrillic letters: Герман Апайкин is transcribed as "German Apaykin". The G in German is pronounced like the G in "leg" in this case. It's actually the Russian version of the name Herman(n). The letter H in Western European languages is often turned into G (for example, in place names like Hamburg or Holland) or into Kh (the you-have-popcorn-stuck-in-your-throat-and-try-to-cough-it-out sound) in Russian.
I’m American black, i sold....”stuff” and I once had to deal with a lady. I don’t know exactly the lyrics, but I LOVE THIS SONG. I know what it’s about.
Ooooh I am sooo not musical! Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C didn’t get to bed last night, on deee way , deee paper bag was on my knee, man I had a dreadful flight! ✈️😒

Yes. Talent is a wonderful thing.
the best thing about Russian music is that it gts faster and faster and faster!

But then it slows down, until it nearly stops. Then it finishes off really fast.
Quite like Tetris :D

tetris plays you
in soviet russia* sounds better, it's more factual, and the meme is soviet russia
Nori You should’ve put “in Soviet Russia” 😂

It would sound a little better like this:
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
In Soviet Russia,
Tetris plays you.
Yours was good, though.
Well, technically they played this song before they played tetris XD But I love soviet russia jokes, so, screw it
Stars are red,
Military uniforms are blue,
In capitalist America,
Banks and stores steal from you.

I though the same, but the song predates the Soviet Union by 56 years (1861).
Ben Dover this is a folk russian song. Has nothing to do with marxism.
It's actually just tetris
