-----------------------------------
The Leningrad Cowboys is a Finnish rock and roll band famous for its humorous songs and concerts featuring the Soviet Red Army Choir.
Currently, the band has eleven Cowboys and two Leningrad Ladies. The songs, all somewhat influenced by polka and progressive rock, and performed in English, have themes such as 'vodka', 'tractors', 'rockets', and 'Genghis Khan', as well as folkloric Russian songs, rock and roll ballads and covers from bands as diverse as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, all with lots of humour.
-----------------------------------
The Red Army Choir (Choir Aleksandrov) is a performing ensemble that served as the official army choir of the former Soviet Union's Red Army. The choir consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble. The songs they perform range from Russian folk tunes to Church hymns, operatic arias and popular music.
In 1991, The Red Army Choir participated in Roger Waters' The Wall concert celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall. They performed an anti-war song "Bring the Boys Back Home".
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Red Army Choir has continued performing, entertaining audiences both inside and outside Russia.

it's funny someone from finland, while knowing of the realities which the corrupt regime of lenin and stalin created, is apparently ignorant to the knowledge of Lenin and (more so) Stalin's deviations from the Communist ideology. While certain greedy powermongers of the past have made Socialism (and in turn, Communism) equivalent with state capitalism, they are quite different. I would reccomend looking up less ridiculous videos, and maybe reading more.
Only an American (or an ignorant fool in general, of any origin) would speak proudly of the ideas which have been instilled within them only to make themselves look a bafoon in the same breathe by acting in ways which are contradictory to said ideals. Proud Commies are dead? Proud of freedom? Then say Commie is a crime? Hm.. Political freedom.. freedom of speech and expression.. primary ideals of our nation.. yeah.
I love the Leningrad cowboys =p
And i dont care the type of russia's government they have one hell of a choir
Because I checked your profile and it said you are an American.
But hey why don't you write another four paragraphs about your political ideology that nobody gives a shit about.
If it could be any genral ignorant fool...Then wouldnt it not be 'only an american'. Just wanted to point that out.
