| "Volodya" -- a remix by
Aleksey Vishnya
of a song in Portuguese overlayed with excerpts from Vladimir Putin's speech at a press conference in December 2004
approving of the hostile takeover of the YUKOS oil company by the Russian government. Of course, Volodya
is short for Vladimir in Russian.
The original Portuguese text goes something like this:
"Volodya, a son of the poor, fell in the struggle for a just cause, for the happiness of the poor people.
Down with capitalism! Down with imperialism! Down with neocolonialism! Long live socialism! They will not pass!
We will continue the fight until the final victory!"
Some of the Putin's words are: "Is that good or bad? I think it's right, it's good.
What, is that not clear? Everyone knows everything. Everyone understands everything. But we need to live somehow.
Today. Tomorrow. Fifteen, twenty years from now. And we want to live well. It's just a farce. Well, why are you applauding?"
Simply hilarious, I laughed myself to tears. |
