KINO - Posledniy Kocert - Группа Крови / Blood Type

STAR it's SUN, not communistic government :) :) He wasn't muppet communistic singer, his songs were about changes and new era, also Tsoy was artist, so he hate war, and in many his songs WAR and FIGHT means somebody and his feelings, his inner world and fight with evil, outer world, circumstances and so on.
Afganistan war also is like that, soldiers also have fight, but true meaning is more wider, it's touch anyone who listen

Spasiba for the clarification. He was brilliant. Lyrics are very poetic. I'm just curious as to why he used, blood type, from WW2, to express his dislike for war in Afghanistan? There is an American made movie that shows Soviet troops in this conflict. It's called "the Beast", came out about 10 tears ago. I don't know if you've seen it. But it's very good.

Thanks, i've never seen this movie, but i'll see it.
Blood type is a symbol to our body, our life, that we can loose. Very long time i've thought, that blood type in this song is refer to people, addicted with drugs. USSR have serious problem with that, because borders opens, many new thing came to us - narcotics, foreign music, foreign goods, different agressive sub-culture - punks, skih-heads, and so on. But now i understand that is more wider, blood type is our blood, he make us remember

that we can die, if we choose wrong path, we can die if we choose right path as well, because of fights with society evils (narcotics, war, and so on).

Recently, a Russian friend of mine gave me a cd that has this concert, from beginning to end. I heard that close to 60,000 people showed up for this concert.

Spasiba. Your right. Open society is good. But along with it , comes the negative aspect as Russia is experiencing. We have had the same problems for decades. America is trying hard to combat these. In US, immigration is the key. This is the basic theme that repeats itself over and over in history courses. It's always the 1st generation that works hard to become productive members of society.

it's trash, hardly anything that comes out of hollywood is of any value.

Uragan. yes, your point is well taken. But remember, Hollywood is an entertainment industry, not political, military, or an educational value. With respect. Spasiba.

This song surfaced in 1980s during the long Soviet-Afghan War. Obviously, many Soviet youths were disenfranchised with the war. Thus the youth had interpreted the lyrics as an expression of their aversion. No where in Blood Type does Victor mention or imply for or against war. He left it to the imagination of individuals. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've tried to listen to the English version of this song. I was not able to fully understand in light of the accent. My impression of this song is that it is not an aversion to war.  Obviously, the lyrics are very metaphorical. It expresses the typical feeling or emotion a soldier would feel going into battle, i.e., able to survive and being wished luck.
