Same song, same performers, once with a substitute — middle video — because the usual co-singer was about to deliver a baby. English translation of the song follows.
Among the many typically bright and riotous Russian colors and emotions of these events, professionally staged as they are — especially patriotism of those whose every family lost property and life to Nazis (@ 27M total, @ 18M of them being civilians — no other nation has suffered such losses due to a foreign power, in this case the Frankish-Fascist one) — I am struck by the very strong Mongolian note pattern/rhythm of the song, the off-beat repetition of the opening note — 7 reiterations in an 8 note phrase — the minor key, the rising melodic platform, and the simple chordal progression.
Bach and Beethoven, among others, use note repetition to effect, but more it is cerebral, detached, channeling refined emotional elegance. This one is from an entirely more familiar, accessible area of feeling, a primordial self-elegance comprising the whole multi-ethnic personality, family, and nation.
The Mongolian blood and mentality in the Russian nature is a salient feature. Kandinsky’s mother descended from Mongolian royalty.
The bloods today are so intermixed, especially in the northern hemisphere, that to speak of races now is counter-factual and risible. Ethnicities yes, but each of them is manifold as well. India, USA, and Russia share the qualities of multi-ethnic and multi-religious citizen composition. Putin mentions the united multi-ethnic aspect of Russia in his Victory Day 2022 Speech. He said, rightly, that it is Russia’s strength.
Reverence for learning and engineering also is key
to Russian cultural and national success.
To foster division by way of race or ethnicity is simply anti-human, anti-earth. To engineer bioweapons to target races and ethnicities is something for which I cannot find words of force sufficiently indicating revulsion and condemnation, other than “demonic.” For which, see here and here and here.
Putin sent the lead singer, Natalia Kachura — a well-trained professional musician — roses and an official greeting two days ago, on Victory Day 2022.
Donbas Is With Us
In the deep darkness, a beast awoke,
And to the God, the price was named,
Everyone bowed down, even brothers in Christ,
Everyone bowed down, but not my country.
The year was graceful and fruitful,
And with blood and death it was painted,
The lead filled clouds overtook the skies,
Everything bowed down, but not my country.
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Donbas is with us,
And so is God!
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Russia is with us,
And so is God!
Here the memory never gave up on our fathers,
We never gave up on our forefathers lands,
Not for any price will you find the words,
To give a life for fatherland is nothing.
And once again the Russian power is at hand,
Both life and death, for our country are red,
It stands and holds the heavenly clouds,
My undefeated county.
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Donbas is with us,
And so is God!
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Russia is with us,
And so is God!
May be it that you die on the cross,
But on our knees we shall not be thrown,
On the bloody battlefield, one is for all,
Holds and keeps the heavenly clouds Donbas.
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Donbas is with us,
And so is God!
Half of the sky is aflame,
Half of the sky in smog,
Moscow is with us,
And so is God!
Against feelings such as these, backed as they are by superior weaponry and war-fighting wisdom and skill, Nuland-Kagans, Soros, Schwab, AEI, ISW, AIPAC, etc., essay to throw the full powers of Ashkenazy Jewish atheist . . . envy . . . of Russian wealth? When did envy prevail against Dharma?
