Kalinka (instrumental)

[Sarsburger]

this was written in 1860, not during Lenins time. Why does it show socialist pictures here? :/

[russiantungsten]

marxism beter but comunisium still the best gov. ment

[Tiberiumfreek]

AMAZING!!!! WOW I love this!

[cardinalrw]

русские всех выёбут!

[GravityPowerful]

with violin it's like gypsy song..........

[tHaH4x0r]

marx, engels and lenin were badasses!

[Drakelx555]

Tetris anyone?

[AtheismCentral]

Vladimir Lenin is the forefather of Russia!

[Urindunk]

@AtheismCentral

no lol

[AtheismCentral]

@WolfInTehWall

Indeed Lenin was, however Lenin didn't hate religious people. Neither did Stalin, state atheism occurred because the religious were part of the oppressors, the Tsars and the Russian church were very corrupt, so corrupt when the mighty red army came in to take the wealth from the churches the priests supported it!

[Tymfaios1961]

Σκατά στόν τάφο τοῦ Λέννιν, Στάλιν καί τῶν θεομάχων κομμουνιστῶν.Ὁ Στάλιν ὑπῆρξε ΧΕΙΡΟΤΕΡΟΣ ἐγκληματία κι ἀπό τόν Χίτλερ.Σκατά στίς ψυχές τους!!!

[vladpros2000]

@WolfInTehWall He was Jewish

[vladpros2000]

Lenin did not want to have Nickolas killed, he told trotsky to get nickolas and his family out of the country. (exile) Trotsky did not listen and had him killed. Lenin's assasin's killed trostsky.

[Crazedjoker117]

@vladpros2000

Didnt Stalin kill trostsky when he got into power, after lenin's death.

[vladpros2000]

@Crazedjoker117 yes because lenin told him to.

[Biokill3r]

That song make me happy! xD

[novoyazemlya]

lol why is Lenin here

[theus663]

Lenin Was a Hero!!!

[jiji45]

I love this song very much, is one of my favorites of all time.

[paskunji]

lenin this motherfucker peasant !

[Trillios]

@paskunji Lenin was the opposite of a proletar if i remember correctly

[quesyu]

@paskunji Retard, he wasn't a peasant.

[hessel666665]

Somebody!

Tell me... where can I find the sheet music to play this song on the violin... I've searched Google in english and russian, but all I come up with are crappy sites that either have sheet music, or some article about kalinka... (>_<) Hope to hear a helpfull awnser soon =D

[rococoness]

why all the communist pictures in a love song

[PrimeConsciousness]

@rococoness The tune of Kalinka embodies something keenly Russian and more broad than just romance in my view. Basing the spirit of any song solely on its lyrics is misguided.

[AnarchoCommunist1]

@rococoness Because communism is about love.

[MrRichpersonson]

Great music, big fan of Russian Folk and cultural music. Also would like to just point out to all thoughs regaurding communisim in their post that this song has nothing to do with it. The images are simply misguiding those who have know idea what they are talking about and that acctualy, as stated by "athroballs', it is about a man who falls for a woman and calls her his "Kalinka" which is a wildflower.

[Schradder1]

звучит хорошо

Not bad.

[morawa1987]

hitler=stalin

[Geroaergaroe]

@morawa1987 Hitler Failed. Stalin didn't.

[morawa1987]

@Geroaergaroe i think Stalin was worst than Hitler

[Geroaergaroe]

@morawa1987 Still he held the power since his very death. "Democratic country" even thanked him. Call that what you want, when a democratic first minister tell to a brutal dictactor "thank you", i call that a Epic Win.

[GrayEyesWorld]

@morawa1987 Well his kill count was nearly 3 times Hitlers. Hell he starved 10 million Ukranians to death in just 18 months.

[Trillios]

@GrayEyesWorld yeah but it was a bad year so that is a good reason for it

[GrayEyesWorld]

@Trillios yah, either way the Ukraninas still haven't really forgiven him... though they havn't forgiven Hitler either... come to think of it Ukrain has all the bad luck, what with millions being starved, them being used as the blunt tip of most human waves in the Red Army, brutal occupation by the Nazis, nuclear tragidies, etc... They really do seem to have drawn the short stick in Eastern Europe now haven't they?

[Trillios]

@GrayEyesWorld hmm quite sad actually

[TrollmanIsTroll]

@GrayEyesWorld His intention was not to starve them. Sacrifice was to be made with their lives. He needed the grain of the farmers to sell, because noone was buying Russian raw materials. Grain turned into a highly demanded item, and without the grain they took, perhaps more than 10 million people would have died.

[GrayEyesWorld]

@TrollmanIsTroll Frankly I could care less about a 4 month old argument. Stalin needlessly doomed millions to death through poor leadership of his empire, end of story

[TrollmanIsTroll]

@GrayEyesWorld Ignorance. If he had not sold that grain, millions more would have died. Count up every poor person dying in a country towards it being a leader's kill and you shall get a number close to Stalin's if not higher. That's the truth, live with it.

[GrayEyesWorld]

@TrollmanIsTroll I relent. You win. I don't even remember why I was arguing in the first place.

[TrollmanIsTroll]

@GrayEyesWorld Eh, it's from the guy who said Hitler=Stalin. People compare the two. Hitler wanted them dead, Stalin didn't. His 10million are only a technicality because of him being responsible for their lost grain. He even brought them out of that famine, later.

[Rinny0o]

@morawa1987 Nyet

[Focapolina]

nothing like hear the soviet kalinka oh workers revolution where are you we miss you...

[ackopipus]

kalinka kalinka bravo za muzikav pozdrav od makedonija

[Sismiques]

@WolfInTehWall

Marx wasn't.

[CallOfDuty14ful]

nice 5*

[cr4yv3n]

Uhm...2 highest comment specifically say that politics =/= this song but noooooo people keep making connections.

/facepalm

[AHafan1]

Folks Russia itself is far cooler than any politics... People should be getting drunk on vodka and doing the cossack dance when this comes on, not mentioning the S T A L I N word =)

[danielitro1]

Hail Stalin!!!

[gemarcher83]

VIVA LENIN Y VIVA KALINKA!

[THIRDSHOCKARMY]

[Torima1996]

"Калинка" является большим слушаю лучше

[THIRDSHOCKARMY]

indifference at work,first thing we think of russian is communism

[FRREX123]

Hy does lenin and marx are in the video?!?

Fuck of them!!!

But i like the song really much ;)

[vito22andolini]

@FRREX123 fuck u

[FRREX123]

@vito22andolini fuck on communism

[vito22andolini]

@FRREX123 no , seriously , fuck you

[FRREX123]

@vito22andolini you dont know anything about war...

do you think its a game?

the red army is antiquated.

russia dont know anything over war.

[vito22andolini]

@FRREX123 im studying the soviet union at university , so yes ,, i know alot about war , you , should know that the power of the soviet union was the their military effective or their weapon because , yes they did not have extraordinary weapons , except maybe for the ppsh and its high cadence of fire and the mosin-nagant for its acuracy but their true weapon and the most dangerous of all was their unbreakable will to defeat the enemy , As general zhukov said , weapons are a small part of war .

[FRREX123]

@vito22andolini General Clausewitz said " Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik unter Einbeziehung anderer Mittel."

All their generals werent brilliant tactitians.

excluded Mikhail Kutuzov. And he was beaten by Napoleon.

Russia has perhaps the most soldiers and the biggest territory but europe and America have ever been the best tacticians. So and if you arent a good tactician, you cant win a war whatever you can mobilize of troops.

sorry for my bad english... its just 2nd year.

[THIRDSHOCKARMY]

@FRREX123 i took good tactics to trap Field Marshal Paulus 's army in stalingrad.I agree russias power is in it army but without someone with good tactis to lead them their just another large group of people with guns who have no idea what there doing(much like hippies of the 60s LOL)

[FRREX123]

@THIRDSHOCKARMY the problem is there isnt any head after this giant army...

[THIRDSHOCKARMY]

@FRREX123 head?

[FRREX123]

@THIRDSHOCKARMY any mastermind...

[THIRDSHOCKARMY]

@FRREX123 well no matter what the commanders told the the army to do it was tactics.going arond to flank the enemy,going head on these were all tacticts(with the red army they went head on because no loss was too great).

[dafydd67]

@vito22andolini As Stalin said "Quantity has a quality of its' own..."

[vito22andolini]

@dafydd67 quoting a traitor means nothing

[SoviMusic]

@vito22andolini encor a la chasse au stalino peux pas regarder une chansson sans voire tes commentaires XD

[vito22andolini]

@SoviMusic t de mon coté camarade , montre a ces traitres ce qu'est un vrai et un faux communiste

[SoviMusic]

@vito22andolini non mais ils ecoute just leur propaganda XD ya rien a faire completment fini

[baronofcheese]

@dafydd67 Yeah, a very poor quality. 

[c9rlos]

This men does not understand that a reach culture embodies politics and much more.... don´t get angry, instead of this try to understand why people involve culture and politics.

[SrbzaGrb]

[chivito1715]

[DLAbaoaqu]

@chivito1715 Ha! Tell that to Veniamin, Bogoyavlensky, and the people who lived in the Volga region circa 1921.

[Tuga1143]

Love him or hate him, you must respect him!

[brightingsky2009]

Nice stuff!

[okkertraktor]

Lenin él és élni fog!!!

Lenin is alive, and he stay alive!!!

[hessel666665]

But maybe in the future and i manage to get my self into something like this again, than i will pick another song, kalinka is to hard to sing along.

[hessel666665]

haha yea,... but i didn't pass... :( maybe if i had done another song i might have passed... but thanks :)

[darkapitude]

Nice song thank you ;)

[hessel666665]

I already got my fur coat, fur hat and a bottle of Vodka to put up a show xD

Wish me luck xD

[ALC96]

@hessel666665

so did it go well? :F

[hessel666665]

Haha, unfortunatelly not... I was to stupid to think I could follow the rithem in this song.... If I had chosen anoter song I might had passed into the final round :P

So, no good, but maybe in the future someone will discover my amizing singing abilities xD

[aftab818]

i love russian music, some moscow acrobatics were visiting Birmingham,the background music was making me feel strong ,i dont know why, but since then i love Russia.

[WrestleFan1993]

lol i listen to way to much of this stuff even though this is true music im obsessed with songs like: the song of the volga boatmen, defenders of moscow, kalinka, farewell of slavianka, lets go!, the red army is the strongest, the cossacks all true music and beautiful works!

[hessel666665]

haha same here xD

everytime i feel like listening music they will be the Russian Red Army Choir songs.. much better that that evil Rap and punk garbage...now a'days

[Prodoubleyou]

Good that im not alone that listens to this kind of music.

[Prodoubleyou]

I listen to this music too much now :P

[hessel666665]

A beautifull song... there isn't better music than the Russian music...I might sing this song or 'farewell of slavianka' tommorow at my Schools singing contest xD I singed up dreaming of making it to the finals and having to sing this or the other song in our City's theater for more than 200 people...Long live the beauty of these songs...

[Valenhiem]

Eastern European/Russian/German/Scandi­navian/Italian music is the best... opera/folk/march is awesome.

[geoff1945]

I first heard this played on stage at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, performed and danced by the Red Army Ensemble.

It was a memorable night.

*****

[air90ful]

blea comunism but very beautiful music

[Maschinepistol]

Just yesterday, I was listening to Rap, punk, etc. Then when my friend advised me to this song, I said sure, what the heck. It was an offer I'll never regret, I'm surprised that just one quick song in like 5 minutes made me change my mind about Folk music. Schwinggg ;D

[creepin206]

many folk songs = many opportunities to like them

Never shut out a genre in whole... there is a little bit of everything for everyone :D. Life is generous

[BloodySoulSword]

Sooo awesome I love it!!

[SALAGOT]

super...

[imnapple123]

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU for posting this!!!

[5elin]

[DRAGOVODA]

pfff stop conecting music with politics! primitive peoples!

this song is beyond nationality!

One of my favourite all time song!

cheers

[vito22andolini]

@DRAGOVODA primitive people , Fuck you

[DRAGOVODA]

@vito22andolini You asked, you responded ! Regarding your expression i don't see were i did my mistake regarding "primitive" minds ;)

[TheUnforgivingOne]

@DRAGOVODA

acually well said its music

just cause its Russian, politics should not be a part of this

[baronofcheese]

@DRAGOVODA They just think anything Russian is communist, it doesn't matter that this song is older than socialism itself, if it's Russian, it's automatically communist to them.

[Dino2988]

Funny Song but...

...the Political of Russia?

[TROSKY1994]

KALINKA IS THE BEST

[somepaperbag]

Rooocks!!!

[ijxijxijx]

spasibo

[nikonater37]

this song was written in 1860, a time where the Tsar ruled not communists.

[Ninelon]

And what?

[Rinny0o]

@nikonater37 Then.... Lenin's brother Tryed to over throw him he got killed by Tsar and Lenin I think and I should look it up Over threw him. :D! So there to your poopie king.

[TheBlindPowerslave]

napoleon is a fag...

[NWNFREAKJAIL]

yeah what ever

[athroballs]

This song isnt even about lenin or stalin or any soviet leader for god's sake! its about some dude who loves this gril and he calls her his " kalinka" which is a wildflower,

[filthyassmonkey]

yeah man your right.

[madTheDamned]

you're right and it's a great song :)

[SteponKalmykov]

Thank you...Why don't people know this stuff anymore?

Американцы.....Иисус!

[mentosC4]

@athroballs snowberry

[XxPhoenixHarpyexX2]

@athroballs

russian folklore were used for soviet symbol and victory...this musics used to play in festivals of victories.....mostlyy performed in choir for pride.....no. Soviet and communists really conquered russia in all ways....political, economical, culturalism and artistic.

[baronofcheese]

@athroballs Doesn't kalinka mean juniper berry?

[Chap444]

it could be argued that Stalin is the author of modern Russia. But i do think that Lenin is its father. Also for my example Genghis Kan to the mongols.

[dudemantwo]

I wonder how the average Russian regards Lenin today...

[mograf1]

The same way as Lincoln.

[crofolklor]

Lenin was the greatest leader of Russia, as Tito was the greatesr leader of Yugoslavia.

[Valenhiem]

As FDR was to the US.

[Valenhiem]

And as Churchill was to Britain... heck, Thatcher was great too...

Otto von Bismark to Germany. France sucks and never had a good one.

[xXLeDrewLAmourXx]

and as Hitler was to Germany ... wait.

[FengFox19]

Nah. Not funny at all.

[KevinvDam]

Thatcher was terrible and France had Napoleon.

[XenomorphYo]

dude a lot of french people hate Napoleon

[FengFox19]

Wow! So humorous! :D
