Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky - Russia Under The Mongolian Yoke

[IdelUralState]

The savage Mongol and Tartar invaders and torturers of the Russian land that we read about in history textbooks were the protectors of the state in reality - and ethnic Slavs for the most part.

@IdelUralState

or yes, Mongols and Tartars were like Santa.

[IdelUralState]

The yoke theory was created by the German court historians of the new Russian dynasty - the Romanovs. It has served the end of justifying the Romanovs' claims for the throne and demonising their longtime adversaries - the Horde, or the professional Russian army, which remained fiercely loyal to the old Russian dynasty, wich was deposed and finally destroyed by the Romanovs as a result of a conspiracy.

I genuinely enjoyed this. Did you know, psychological studies on mood and affect have been conducted and this song played at half speed actually produces a depression in affect (i.e. bad/sad mood).

@steamedham NO REALLY?!?!

Prokofiev is so very much underrated. It is a shame really, his music is a brilliant education into the human soul.

[jadoredashboardd]

I'm listening to this because I was reading my psych textbook and it noted that in a study, this song reliably put people into foul moods. lol.

[vstasov]

I just watched the film Alexander Nevsky and have to say that the soundtrack was absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this.
