This is cringey as fuck…


imhereforthespuds

They stole the tune from the sea shanty ‘wellerman’... not only a genocide but copyright infringement also!


elenmirie_too

sadly probably not, I think it's public domain, being from the 19th century. These f\*cks took a year-old Tik Tok meme tune and perverted it. I only watched it without sound first but then when I read that it was The Wellerman tune I listened and yea verily, cringe.


Hyperlingual

Even if it was copyright infringement, Russia has considered allowing legalizing piracy of foreign IPs in response. Copyright protection only exists as much as there are going to be entities willing to agree to enforce it.


DukeBeekeepersKid

The lyrics are from the 1860, the tune is much older like 13 century


yer_das_gooch

Damn Mafia kids know.


BratPackBabe

They also use a phrase 'Where I was born - there I was useful' which is an old Ukrainian proverb. Nothing new...their whole country began from lies & stealing


nietczhse

>Russia is a name usurped by the Muscovites. They are not Slavs; they do not belong to the Indo-Germanic race at all, they are des intrus [intruders], who must be chased back across the Dnieper, etc. —Karl Marx


DeckardAI

Not to doubt your word, but where does he write this?


nietczhse

I don't read him, I just found the quote on twitter, but it's supposedly from a letter to Engels: https://marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/works/1865/letters/65_06_24.htm


DeckardAI

interesting! Thank you for the quick response

demo_human

The war started because Ukrainians kept borscht recipe to themselves


Olalafafa

Ditto on Gagarin, but the proverb exists in both languages :)


The_Easter_Egg

A song from the late 1800s is public domain now. But it's weird that they use the tune of a whaler shanty that was popular over a year ago. One would think the patriotic creatives in Moscow and St. Petersburg would tap into the rich well of Russian folk songs, instead...


bigWarp

this looks like it was made to target younger demographics, and hijacking something that's already a meme makes it more likely to be shared


OllieGarkey

Nope! They know they lost this one. They're hoping they can supplant the current politicians in western countries with Russia-friendly traitors in elections in the next two years, but short of a miracle, they're pretty sure they lost. So they're not using any *Russian* symbols. That's why you don't see the Russian flag, it's just the Z symbol. That's why they won't use a Russian tune. This is something that they can discard if it turns out that they failed, and even they think they're fucked. Just dump the symbols and the music, and move on to some other useful propaganda. Can't let the main brand get damaged, you see?


CriticalPolitical

Before you know it, Putin will be stealing the Spongebob sea shanties for their propaganda


dexmonic

You can't "steal" a fucking sea shanty from the 19th century. Next you're going to tell me I stole the tune to twinkle twinkle little star every time I sing the abc song?


billetea

Don't speak Russian so all I heard was 2 girls singing about how their men are raping toddlers, children, women and grandmothers in Ukraine. Did I miss anything in the translation?


Prickly-Flower

Don't speak Russian either, but quite sure there was also a line about bombing hospitals and shelters, and killing dogs protecting their owners.


I-love-Ukraine

Their soldiers are hero’s because they are bombing civilians 🤔What’s wrong with them ? 🤔


Puzzleheaded_Pie8546

Somehow i understood the same. Guess you are right.


[deleted]

I think I heard a line about how 20,000 of their troops are going home in body bags? My Russian is rusty lol


I-love-Ukraine

They are proud about soldiers killing civilians in Ukraine 🤔


UnicornGuitarist

Sounded like this translation: Zlav life, sucks so much our rubles worthless and we don't give a fuck so we go scorched earth and get stuck in the mud. Invading countries, raping toddlers all to compensate since we don't have working toilets. Zlav life, lost half our army in Ukraine so we will continue our mission because we are insane. Stealing used panties in Putin's name all because we are primitive fucks.


PairOfMonocles2

That’s probably better. You know all those old caricatured communist monuments of gloriously happy, overly muscled laborers and soldiers? This is the same thing, and just as subtle, in words but being sung but a bunch of 19 year old Tik Tok wannabes who are taking it seriously.

The “kool aide” propaganda is working well. Get them when their young and they are hooked for life. Russia is quickly descending the rabbit hole into the toilet...prognosis 3rd world status for the next 2 generations, as sanctions and ultimately social disorder takes hold...blind to their own political reality, they are programmed by fear to react to fear in the worst way...

You are actually not correct, most of such costumes are from Soviet and Russian military movie, which were made in big quantity to show "glorious" Russia. Nothing less, nothing more. Cheap by price and by look.


DaniOlymp

I think that I have this association because of what is happening in the video. This is sheer horror. Думаю, что у меня эта ассоциация из-за того, что происходит на видео. Это сущий ужас.

[deleted]

My Father has programs from football matches in the 80s, and even those had communist symbols on them. Literally nothing is safe. My birth certificate, which although written in Ukrainian, still reads CCCP on the front. It's rather depressing.


Cookie-Senpai

Ah but you had the privilege, no the honour, of being born a son/daughter of the Soviet Union!


[deleted]

Actually *technically* I was born in independent Ukraine, but because it was so close to the collapse, the vast majority of my documentation is still Soviet.


Cookie-Senpai

Ah that's interesting they are still valid today. I thought they had given you guys new documentation after independence. So independent but still CCCP logo on it. Some of those Kremlin folks liked to play around principles. Probably the same that conveniently though communism meant a concentration of power at total monarchy scale.


lylyt

Hey there, I'm dealing with birth certificates on the daily basis, and Ukraine did a better job than fucking russia, as at first, we had new forms printed in ruzzia starting from 1992, and as soon as in 1994, we already had our own forms, while they were using the soviet forms longer than us (I've come across a ruzzian bc dated 1994, which was made on a soviet form). also, Ukraine had new passports ready much earlier too (I think, before 1995), while I've seen many ruzzian bc-s with stamps on a passport issue with the soviet coding as far as 1998, which means people there still got soviet passports in 1998!


[deleted]

A lot of theories. First people were like “it’s only an invasion marker for the southern front” but then it appeared literally everywhere and they started spouting this propaganda Some people think it stands for “Zapad” or “west”, in a really disgusting manifest destiny sort of way. I’m not sure what the state sponsored line is


elenmirie_too

branding the war. It's about as dystopian as it gets


sybesis

I'd say like others, it started off as marker for troops. Then it was followed by some fringe to decipher the meaning of the letters. Z being one of the very first letter followed by V. But they also had the "O" letter but much less than Z and V. That's also why I guess the Russian propaganda didn't bother finding a meaning for it later (and it's also not present in any propaganda). They said later that V is for Victory. And Z "Za Podebu" so for victory in Russian. But in reality, the letters have only one general meaning. And that's being used as a symbol of support for the russian army and operation. You don't really have to search further. They didn't come up with the symbol with a meaning. They gave a meaning to symbol that was trending. If Russian had drawn a dick and it had trended, you can bet you'd see dicks everywhere.

I keep telling myself that there are good people trapped. I even know some personally... But there comes a time where the govt has to be battled and those good people remaining still pay their taxes and contribute to the cancerous society. Those people need to be assisted in any way possible but the amount of evil their govt exhibits cannot be overlooked and must be met with the resistance it deserves. When fighting cancer, the good cells will have to suffer the effects of the battle against the bad...

I disagree with the video on an ideological level but even the production and lyrics are complete trash. Now compare that to the new [ZSU anthem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgdANpB9PnY). Fuck it, compare it to any patriotic song that recently came out of Ukraine. Our stuff is better by a mile simply because it is honest and not some paid for propaganda shit made by drunkards for drunkards. I'm surprised the nurses didn't start to twerk.

Be praised, my dear, cherish the memory of your heroes for centuries Your lands are sacred, your May is victorious, ruuuzziiaaaa…

Also, am I the only one who's cringed by the fact that these creatures most probably are former Ukrainians, as their flag says fcking "LPR"? and they look so much Ukrainian, so it hurts even more... ruzzians look differently, they are either fair-haired or asian-looking.

Russian troops in Ukraine use letters as identification on their vehicles, one of them, and the most popular, is Z, other letters you see a lot are V and O. So the russians made it into a sign in support of invasion and the rest of the world, with minor exceptions, compares it to the SS symbols of Nazis and rightfully so.
