Shortly before the release of Portable Ops, someone on the internet discovered a song by classical Russian composer Georgy Vasilevich Sviridov, named "The Winter Road." The Metal Gear community was in an uproar at how similar the song was to the "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme", and requested the song be shown to Hideo Kojima. Eventually, a
YouTube video emerged of a group of people showing the song to Kojima, who gave a very surprised reaction.[1] Eventually in an issue of the video game magazine EGM it was revealed via an interview with Norihiko Hibino that the theme was indeed changed due to the fact that "Konami had legal problems with Russian composers who said [they] stole their music."[2]
Sviridov was a pure musical genius. One on thousands of true treasures of the world that were fortunate to be Russian, but unfortunate to live in Soviet Union. I can only imagine how much more could those people give to the world if they were just allowed to create fearlessly. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO!
"Ah, ¡Troyka! Ave Troyka! quien te ha inventado? Solo con la gente agil puedrías nacer - en la tierra que no le gusta las bromas, que ha extendido a la mitad del mundo, y vas a contar millas, hasta que empezará a hacer chiribitas los ojos."
Эх, тройка! птица тройка! кто тебя выдумал? Знать, у бойкого народа ты могла только родиться, – в той земле, что не любит шутить, а ровнем-гладнем разметнулась на полсвета, да и ступай считать версты, пока не зарябит тебе в очи.

@werkzeug0 I am not. I was born in Soviet Union in 1975 and lived in it until it fell apart. I KNOW EXACTLY how bad it was.
