Hello lemmy's !music consortium. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this song, and being that it's lemmy, I'm assuming "probably." I've been looking for this song since Metro 2033 (game) came out, and I finally found it just now! It's sung by a guard right before you watch how Unkle Bourbon "works." (I had already found Гоп Стоп by Aleksander Rosenbaum). I didn't know where else to post this, being that it is music I came here, hope that's ok.
Now the issue is I'm a little lost on the historical context, and I was hoping one of the .mls out there who may have a bit more knowledge of the russian civil war could shed some light on it because to be frank I know nothing about it.
It seems to be a Cossack song, and anti Bolshevik? I translated the ru.wiki.whatever page and it seems to suggest the writers are a couple of punks with cool ass nicknames like "solid" and "not good" that pulled lyrics from a couple historical tunes, and that there was a 4th verse in the OG that is now oft omitted much to the chagrin of those authors, who call it "white guard pink snot" or something, what the hell does that mean?! Is the song supposed to be just generally anti-communist or is it...well...idk, really any insight into this tune would be much appreciated. Like I said I don't know much, I basically know the "reds" are the Bolsheviks and that's it.
