Sting - Russians (plus lyrics in description)

[Zylstra555]

Great song!

[5555bbk]

i love this song

this is the best song ever !!!!!

[4narchy77]

"Khrushchev remarked in his speech in Yugoslavia, "I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you,"[5] a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism"" (wikipedia about "We will bury you").

Don't know who's right I'm just pointing that out

[Joke9972]

I will always remember this period as feeding fear into our brains. I was 12-13 at the time, the lyrics weren't censored either way here in Western Europe, but I was very impressed by this song. Still is very impressive. But one is not much of a critic, at 13, and I was very nervous about that tension. Little did I know, that part of it, was part of a play that had to be performed by politicians. Thx for the upload.

[chungalungas]

@metthaw Yeah, too bad to U.S. aired it on T.V. and they translated it wrong on purpose to make it seem like he said "We will make your children Communists". :( Don't get me wrong, I'm Russian and love the U.S. but that's kinda sad.

We drink Vodka together, yes?

[ledzeppelin1710]

hey guys, instead of fighting, listen to the part of the song that says we share the same biology regardless of ideology

[BakaNoAkuma]

It's in past already. Now russians hate their govermen more than anything and just try to survive.

(Another one Russian)

[123456RaulMorales]

The Russophobia is the unwarranted fear,the hatred and the despise towards Russians.Same with the Serbophobia,the unwarranted fear the hatred and the despise towards Serbs.

[pakaljap]

I don't subscribe to this point of view

[ILTJ8898]

in europe and america theres a growing feeling of hysteria, he meant thayt we are scared the russains are gonna attack, and How can i save my little boy from oppenheimer's Deadly toy, he meant that how can he protect his kid form being blown up, there is no monopoly in common sence, on either side of the political fense he meant that this is not i game this is real, so be smart, we share the same biology regardless of ideology, he meant we are all the same apart from our differences

[ILTJ8898]

mr. krushchev says we will bury you: that part meaning, when they were in a important meeting, they were disagreeing on alot of thing and Mr.krushchev is the russian ambasator and he threatened to bury them with bombs so that is why he was saying i hope the russians love their children too, because if he takes down the united states he will also kill his people cause they have enough explosives to blow the world up seven times over, and to end life as we know it

[subatan]

the lyrics are quite balanced. I hate people who let think that russian people are monsters

[xskullxkissesx]

@subatan I'm so behind you. I really blame American text books for brainwashing American students into thinking that Russians are still communists :( It was trashed in the 1990s damn it! Us Russians are beautiful people :D

[AwakeningTorahMan]

@xskullxkissesx : Yes I agree Russians are beautiful and smart people but there is the element of corruption through secret underworld societies in Russian and the USA which will end it all. We must pray for each other that we can survive this world wide phase of corruptions which create war by elites.

[fluffuletka]

awesome song

[nerfdude123]

@wadahoot you're very welcome 

[MissVampy95]

just one word - genius

[themythriller]

what i pretty balarina. i wish i could dance like that. the song is really good. i saw it in tv in, 80`s week. and then i search and found this :)

[SirCommoner]

"To put the words in the mouth of the president"

I love how he says this.

[Nala466]

I'm not exactly sure what this song is about, but I like it.

[Tokiko7]

I love this song, my favorite part is when they play Troika by Sergei Prokofiev at 1:27 so beautifull =)

[DarogaDaae]

You know, I don't get why people are arguing. Enjoy the video. Quit pecking at each other. It's a good song, whatever you think of the subject matter.

[nerfdude123]

@DarogaDaae thank you for sayin tht honestly i hate political inquiries and such

[lixen88]

Unfortunately, Sting haven't take into consideration, that the politians have their ways to save their children, but ordinary people will be the first to suffer. But in the USSR people couldn't be even a little responsible for what their government was doing - it was not a democrasy.

[lixen88]

And, by the way, Russian politians were never worried about the fate of their people, neither in time of the Soviet Union, nor now.

[VlamisRU]

and who are the Russian politicians? the bunch of Jews.

it seems more like wars between different gangs of Jews than the wars between USA and Russia. American-Israel and Eastern-European-Israel. and the rest of people are just forced to help those ones to create the world of hate they need to make to get the profit only for themselves and their own families among their gangs...

why to call countries with different names if still everywhere they are ruled with the same standards? fuск

[VlamisRU]

ok, you say it was not a democraCy...

USA is called "democracy", but who has stopped their government when they were killing people in Iraq? no one. and no one cared of their people (American) screaming on the streets or whatever. just after the Bush's rulership ended they had a chance to choose another one. so what's the difference? it is just an illusion of "people being responsible for it". the idiot who rules does whatever HE and his bosses want and need. so don't tell stories...

[lixen88]

I am not protecting US. (I'm russian, if you haven't guees yet) I expected you to know that russian people in that time definately were in a worse position than americans - a russian say a political joke and tomorrow he goes to "cut the wood". An american always could say what he thinks about his presedent (people from US, am I wrong? Is there something we don't know about your contry?). A russian wouldn't take that risk.

[VlamisRU]

don't worry, I've guessed that you are Russian by your сrappy English.

get away.

[lixen88]

I love you too

[VlamisRU]

so let's sleep together.

[lixen88]

Nevertheless, I don't know why they didn't do something about Iraq. May be they were brainwashed or something... But here we speak about another war. You don't have to repeat me about Stalin-the-Jew, I know it, and I've read all of you comments. I'm agree with about many things, but you "shout" like if someone called your mother a prostitute, and that's not a right tone for a good discussion. I'd even say you behave like a troll, so I'm not replying until you calm down.

[VlamisRU]

who has taught you to say "I'm agree"? it makes me vommit really. "я есть соглашаюсь"?!

будто мне нужны твои ответы. смысл? иди играй в стрелялки дальше и пей пиво.

[lixen88]

Although it looks that you know English well, it seems to me, that you haven't really understand what I meant in my first comment, so I could explain you in Russian if want.

[lixen88]

*if you want

[VlamisRU]

yes, I do know English well, unlike you. that's the difference.

so first go back to your bad school and ask your lazy teacher to improve your grammar at least.

[VlamisRU]

Sting used to be one of my favourite singers, I still like some of his songs, especially "Shape of my heart", but after discovering a song like this written by him, he is a real аsshole in my eyes now.

bye, Sting! go sing for Bush & Co.

[lexilou184]

@VlamisRU u clearly know nothing i dont see how u could say hes an asshole from this

[VlamisRU]

he is an аsshоle. because if he, being a singer and a famous person, supports one of the sides, it makes him an аsshole.

[VlamisRU]

oh, and I really wonder why does dear Sting sing about "the Russians" in this song, while the USSR was ruled by people of other nationalities as well, like the Jews for example (and Stalin was a Georgian Jew as well, by the way).

Sting would better asked if they loved their children too, or they do a circumcision.

for some reason always "Russians" get blamed, no matter who rules the dance. people are just silly and get easily manipulated.

[dragongirl4444]

I love this song. Awesome video.

[neveutrien]

Great song.

[VlamisRU]

stupid Sting should better sing about his own country sending troops to Afghanistan again and again, Iraq and so on.

and what if we start to count the number of people his nation killed in their ex-colonies when they came there? India, Australia, New Zealand, American Indians..?

[dragongirl4444]

Dude this was written during the cold war, but you can just substitute of few words and make it apply to any war.

[VlamisRU]

yes, I got it. so how much did he get for writting this song? haha

because I don't see Sting writting and singing songs during the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, South Ossetia and so on. now he sings just some boring stuff. probably there is no interest from his side when it is doesn't bring good profit.

[MrTupac111]

terosz you stupid guy,don't you translate the song?his meaning is different of your words,they make it seems a song against the russians,but it isn't.

[VlamisRU]

it's not about Russians or whatever nation, it's about the politicians that stink. fu(k politics and the ones who makes profit from it.

[MakerKey]

yeah ... f_u_ c_ k politician who make from us enemies

[VlamisRU]

high five. they make enemies from us because it is the best way for them to parasitize.

[mk3d50501]

i remember how scary it was growing up in the 80's. All the talk of nuclear war. kind of reminds me of all the terrorist talk now.

[hidalgo944]

moving music video

great voice of Sting

I hope American power elite love their children, too.

[terosz]

Ooops. I am Russian, I love my child. Weird, ey.

Moron Sting Stink! What was he thinking?

[VlamisRU]

he has probably got paid well for that song ;) that's it :D

[beatingofmyheart1]

americans are the ones who love war

[RetCrayon]

The "Russians" murdered over 20 million of their own people and Sting "hopes they love their children too"?.... Exhibit 1 in the case of Liberals v Rational Thought.

Idiocy at its zenith.....the liberal mind-set.

[VlamisRU]

you are just another uneducated and media-brainwashed idiot. you just eat what tv and governments tell you. even Soviet people were not as stupid to believe everything said by media, but you are! and yet you believe in democracy I bet. haha

tell me which Russian murdered over 20 million of "own people"? Stalin? I have to open a universe for you probably, but Mr. Stalin was not even Russian by nationality at all, he was a Jew from Georgia (by his real last name, which "Stalin" was _not_).

[bahbahani007]

after 30 years this song still sound great and outlines all the threats surrounding us from all around the globe but the russians!!!

[VlamisRU]

I wonder, after so many years after this song, have the Russians killed millions of civilian population in Iraq for the oil control, and who still runs the war for cocaine in Afghanistan? or this did same old co(caine)lition of the UK+USA? rhetorical question.

about nuclear wars you all are just talking making the evil from whoever but your own countries, while your governments are killing REAL people by REAL weapons all over the world NOW.

[VlamisRU]

an idiot is you.

because you've never fought anything but your own interests. in Asia you fight for cocaine, in Iraq you fight for oil. so don't tell me the fairytales, leave it for CNN or BBC. they'll pay you.

[suppp333]

@VlamisRU We dont fight for oil or cocoaine those are just rumors that you are stupid enough to believe.

[VlamisRU]

hahaha you are so freaking dumb.

definitely stupid here is you, as you can't even write the word "cocaine" properly in the language of your country haha. noting that English is one of the easiest languages in the world, you are ultimately stupid.

better go to school or you will be mixing up Slovakia with Slovenia like your ex-president did, too. haha

[suppp333]

is that all u could say? if ur just making fun of my spelling clearly u cant think of another argument so clearly u know im right

[VlamisRU]

it just proves that there is nothing to argue with you about.

go watch CNN and eat hamburgers with colа. haha

[suppp333]

no its just a sad, sad argument

[IPwnedTheIpod]

I agree with VlamisRu here, we are fighting for oil, you just a stupid American who'd dumb enough to believe you fighting for freedom...

[VlamisRU]

thank you, love Aussies :))))

[nerfdude123]

@IPwnedTheIpod well actually the oil arguement hasnt been proven since we haven't gotton any oil from there yet but we've liberated places so unless u can prove me wrong which if u can i would like in order to get the right facts but till then iz for democracy and freedom

[IPwnedTheIpod]

@nerfdude123 you havent got any oil because your still at war!? im sorry but a war isnt just going to go on standby while America sets up some oil rigs to send the oil back... ok yes the war was originaly over the land but America convienetly stepped in when they realised the potential profit...

[nerfdude123]

@IPwnedTheIpod sir ok its quiet apparent you firmly believe tht this war is over the oil. But this war has been going on for just short of a decade and not one plan to set up oil refineries has been announced. Besides the incident in the gulf almost crosses out the possibility of an oil ruled economy in the future, because of how much was wasted

[Stavrosdouvlis]

@nerfdude123 The companies are doing it because they want to profit from weapons sales in America,and to other countries claiming it is for "terrorrism".They also profit in other ways too.The war from its beggining was designed to be sustainable,not to be won.You Americans are killing your children and more importantly other countrie's children and you dont even know it.I suggest that you watch some movies and documentaries about wars conducted by America (not rambo and other propagandas).

[nerfdude123]

@Stavrosdouvlis The american military doesnt use imported weapons, weapons are one of the only things we make ourselves and use. The idea of the war being sustainable and not one, i wont agree to or disagree to,but however it is they must be a reason for such tactics. The war documentaries are, no matter how unbaised they sound , biased in some form or another. For instance an american documentary on war would differ from a European or Asian one because of the differences in our moralsandethnics

[dandeexxxx]

history repeats itself-we will see this threat again

[nerfdude123]

Ahh good assunption

[DarogaDaae]

@dandeexxxx What do you mean, "again"? The Cold War never ended. It's only gotten worse, as more countries have obtained nuclear capabilities. It's probably a matter of time before we all blow each other into nuclear winter.
