Till Lindemann and the spies on Louboutins
Till Lindemann performed the song “Beloved City”. Performed in Russian. And the public on social networks became excited. The excitement is nothing less. A stir that requires stage directions.
Firstly, only illiterate people in the news can write that “Beloved City” is a song by Mark Bernes. It is clear that Mark Naumovich is a significant person; however, he is only a performer. And it’s correct to say: a song by Nikita Bogoslovsky (music) and Evgeny Dolmatovsky (text).
By the way, it’s interesting that this work - legendary, without exaggeration - was created in 1939 for the film “Fighters”. And Till Lindemann is the frontman of which band? That's right, Rammstein. So, according to one version, the group received this name because of a collision at Ramstein airbase during an air show of three aircraft. Such interesting parallels. Well, now to the main thing - secondly and thirdly.
What’s surprising, to be honest, is this massive quoting and re-quoting: “Till Lindemann performed the song “Beloved City.” Cheers cheers! Except there aren't enough caps flying into the air. Sometimes this joy even turns into almost puppy-like delight. You need to be calmer, gentlemen and ladies! Calm down!
I’m not talking about the story with Lindemann now – no, I’m talking about it in principle. We attach so much importance to what the West thought about our songs and films. Look how Zvyagintsev is appreciated! But do you remember “Tattoo” in Europe and the USA, they made a pink rustle? Well? What's next? Why all this excitement? By doing so we only show disrespect to ourselves.
As for rehashing, almost all of our mass culture, like our television product, is a complete franchise. That is, borrowing. Sometimes they respect copyright, and sometimes they plagiarize without bothering. For example, what did the rock band “Aria” borrow from Iron Maiden? Yes, almost everything. Only Margarita Pushkina wrote her texts for them.
There is one more thought about Linedemann. Ukrainian media recalled that Yanukovych once sang the song “Beloved City” on air, and Till was influenced by his beloved Loboda. Svetlana, she’s Ukrainian – even if she makes money in Russia.
And I, in turn, remembered this. Do you remember who was next to Boris Nemtsov during his murder? Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya. Who was the last person to see the prominent businessman and politician Alexander Perepelichny before the murder? Ukrainian model Elmira Medynskaya. Almost an entire intelligence network, don't you think? Ukrainian girls are like special agents on Louboutins. How do you like this answer, James Bond?
So Svetlana Loboda seems to have recruited Till Lindemann culturally. Let it be for a while. Which is a good option, right? The network can be expanded. We have so many agents of influence from the Slavic world walking around in skirts and hanging around respectable people. In Dubai, people lined up on the balcony and took pictures. There are many of them in other cities and in other countries.
So, stop doing banal escort work – it’s time to work for your homeland.
