Saturday And Something ...

 ... for relaxation. Rondo and Ivanov (BTW, had huge concerts in Budokan in 1990s) wrote this wonderful song long time ago--here are some real Russian rockers singing it 14 years ago in Kremlin Palace. A song God, What A Trivial Thing. 


And now, in the Battle of Generations Tatyana Kurtukova sings the original. This is 2025--this is Neo-Russian pop-folk which did what many in CIA (who had any clue) have been afraid of--Russian folk became hot and cool simultaneously with gorgeous women with amazing voices doing ... well, references. 


Kurtukova can pack a 50,000 stadium like nothing--easy. And what she does is amazing. She is live and suddenly all those clones of "western" style look cheap and disposable looking at what she does. 


She is a Russian equivalent of Shaman but many times more potent. She is a sublimation of Russian woman--this is what Russia was always about.

Hero Of The Soviet Union ...

 ... Colonel of the Soviet Air Force, today a Monk, Father Kiprian (Colonel Burkov) with Alexander Ivanov (of Rondo band, BTW, which rocked the shit out of Budokan in 1990s, as did Russian rock-band St. Petersburg) singing a few days ago. 


In 1992 Rondo with Ivanov sang the song which was so powerful, that many do not want to feel it--it was called I Will Return (I am not going to provide the translation)--it is NOT about the geographic return, it is about redemption. 

And that is what it has been happening ever since--redemption.
