Till Lindemann (Rammstein) and Bell P-39 Airacobra.

"Beloved Town" Great song about Russian/Soviet pilots fighting in the "distant lands" (was written in 1939 about pilots, fighting in the Civil War in Spain).




A comrade flies to a distant land,
And native winds fly after him.
Beloved town melts in a blue haze
A familiar house, a green garden and a gentle look.

Comrade will pass all battles and wars,
Not knowing sleep, not knowing silence.
The beloved town can sleep well
And dream, and be green in the spring.

When my comrade will return home
The native winds will fly after him.
The beloved town will smile at him,
The familiar house, the green garden and the happy look.

Why does a country that hates homosexuals so much have such gay music?

It's not Russia's fault that gays make the best music.

Russia hasn't 'gays'

That's going to come as a surprise to Tchaikovsky and Gogol.

Depends on your definition of the word "gay".
But the song of year 1998 was "Blue moon".

In 1999: "I've lost my mind":

and even "Position number five, I don't want you alive" was rather popular in 1996.

Or "My passion is speed"

And "The first thing is planes, girls will be later".



Biologocally the Russians have no big differences with Europeans and Americans, and there are all kinds of perverts, too.
But culturally and politically, yes, there are no "gays".

lol, what are you talking about - Blue moon was popular as a prank only, and TATU had to pretend that they are lesbians, while being heterosexual - because they sang in English and chose the West as their target audience, being fake "lesbians" was nothing but a part of marketing

and the song itself was composed by a Jew.

Soviet joke
in the Jewish Autonomous Region of the USSR, the city of Birobidzhan, the Jews lived less than in the Union of Soviet Composers.

-----
- Abram, are all Jews in your Russian Folk Music Orchestra?
- No, there is Ivanov.
- damn it ... these Russians can get through everywhere.

Christ is risen!


As Apostle Andrew fished from the dock,
the Savior walked upon the water.
And as Andrew pulled minnows from the water,
the Savior pulled from it dead men.
And Andrew shouted to him: "I'll leave this dock
if you show me the secret."
And the Savior answered: "Calm yourself Andrew,
there's no secret here.
Do you see the cross overlooking that hill?
There are ten soldiers under it. Go hang on it,
and when you tire of this, come back and
walk on the water
walk on the water
walk on the water with me."

"But teacher, they have gleaming horns on their helmets!
There's a black raven circling the cross from above!
Tell me how, have pity on this fool,
and leave the crucifixion for later."
The Savior grew silent and, in a fit of anger, stamped
the surface of the water with his foot.
"You are indeed a fool." And Andrew, in tears,
trudged home with his minnows.

"Do you see the cross overlooking that hill?
There are ten soldiers under it. Go hang on it,
and when you tire of this, come back and
walk on the water
walk on the water
walk on the water with me."

"Do you see the cross overlooking that hill?
There are ten soldiers under it. Go hang on it,
and when you tire of this, come back and
walk on the water
walk on the water
walk on the water with me.."

- Ихалы козаки, со Дону до хаты
- Пивстечалы Галю, пизвалы с собою
- ой поедем, Галю, з нами, козаками
- краше тоби буде, чем у ридной мамы
-----
- Галю согласилась, с ними подчипилась
- Ой ты Галю, Галю молодая...
