@RaananVolesPianist : If you get a chance, watch "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears." It was made by a Russian film maker in the late 1970s or early 1980s and was banned in the Soviet Union - to my thinking because it was an embarrassment - it showed a society with CLASS DISTINCTIONS in a country that prided itself in supposedly having none!
A really great song. The American people were fed a lot of crap about the Soviet Union (for example, the idea that it was a "democracy" just like us) during World War II, unfortunately. Then, afterward, things swung to the other extreme, and the Russians were, also unfortunately, represented as the devil incarnate.

@BardCoennius WTF? "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" was never banned in the Soviet Union. I'm Russian, I know exactly. Stop talking nonsense.

This is spectacular. Bob Wills does a great western swing version of this also.
