Soviet Music

They may have been as much bastard oppressors as the Nazis they fought but they certainly had the best music.

Possibly the greatest national anthem ever written, so good that the Russian Republic could not give it up, Hymn of the Soviet Union

The anthem of the Great Patriotic War, The Sacred War

The warning of the gathering storm, Arise, Ye Russian People

And last, but not least, The Internationale

Have you heard the Leningrad Symphony?

It was literally written during the siege.

Now, Wei Yi is reading Glantz's Leningrad account with the music in the background for atmosphere!

Leningrad symphony is good but nothing is better than the rush of communism blasting from iPod to conquer the hedge fund! Those damn capitalist fools, they will all be converted. I am working on the inside, our time will come. In the meantime don't let the ice melt under the caviar, tovarish.
