"Motherland, Come Home"

DDT frontman Yuri Shevchuk has released the video “Motherland, Come Home.” In the new single, he calls on his country to stop the war and go about its own business. The video was shot by Shevchuk in collaboration with producer and composer Dmitry Yemelyanov. Yuri Shevchuk wrote the poem “Motherland, Come Home” in the summer of 2022, a few months after Russia had launched its invasion of Ukraine.…

DDT is coming to Germany! In just 5 days and I found out 10 minutes ago. I already have theatre tickets for that day but who cares. I would sell one of my kindeys to see them.

Yury Shevchuk is one of the few fearless people who says what needs to be said.

He dedicated the song Freedom to Alexei Navalny at the concert in Astana.

Some people are just бескомпромисные.

И грянул Грэм

37:11 Protest is the essence of rock and roll. It's just that I grew up on heavy metal, on hard rock, right, on rock and roll.  

37:30 You know, for me [Russian singer Vyacheslav] Butusov is «Старик Козлодоев» [a song by Boris Grebenshchikov] if you already remembered Grebenshchikov, right. This is a classic that slowly slides along the roof into oblivion like many of those-- Well, in principle, all the Russian pop was primitive for quite a long time. Right, there are many such characters who don't care where, for what, the main thing is that the gingerbread is bigger than the Tula pryanik [biggest in Russia] and accordingly they will then feel comfortable.  

But in principle, they are all crawling into a disgusting swamp, or rather, they have already crawled, including unfortunately the subject Butusov. Well, there was another author there. There was Ilya Kormiltsev. It was not Butusov himself, so the worldview in the songs of Nautilus [Nautilus Pompilius, rock band by Vyacheslav Butusov] is the worldview of Kormiltsev who unfortunately died of cancer, and not of Butusov. Butusov is a performer and like many performers, it turned out that he didn't even understand the content of what he was singing about, unlike Mr [Yuri] Shevchuk and Mr Grebenshchikov. 

38:28 By the way, with Butusov, I think the story is a little more complicated because yes, on the one hand, a significant part of the songs was written by Kormiltsev but "Шар цвета хаки", one of the most important anti-war anthems of the late eighties was written by Butusov himself. Well, and for me this is just such a very strange story, when for example-- Well, I grew up listening to this song, and when you understand that "Шар цвета хаки" is sung by Butusov who supports the war, this is-- 

38:58 We often unfortunately make a fundamental mistake, we transfer lyrical heroes to real people, right. That is, not always-- You know, it happens often when you for example think that a person is simple, primitive, has no values, but he turns out to be very strong, right, inside, that is, he takes on a large share of responsibility.  

And at the same time when you have some kind of idealised idea of a person who wrote a cool song or wrote a cool novel and so on, and then it turns out that he is simply rotten in his essence. There is no need to idealise. You need, you need-- And secondly, you don't need to judge people by transferring your own perception of the world on them. This is a very important rule.  

I am calm about the choice of each person, I just think that there are disgusting people and unfortunately the vast majority of today's subjects of the cultural process in Russia, they're disgusting in their essence. That is, they did not have value cores as such and all their protests were fictitious protests and all of their life attitudes were fictitious and as soon as it was necessary to show their real essence, this is what Russia has been masking for 30 years.  

41:46 Well, it's all so obvious. And here I'll go back to where we started. Therefore, to expect from people that they will correspond to the image with which you endowed them, listening or reading their works, well, it's not entirely justified. And in my opinion, Butusov, well, he's quite primitive and turned out to be a classic Russian subject, that is, with such an internal low intellectuality that is absolutely incomprehensible to me, which develops into some kind of arrogant chauvinism.

North Korea Sounds Nice

Chulpan Khamatova, Sobchak Live, 6 June 2012 [Ksenia] Sobchak: You want your children to live in a stable country without revolution? [Chulpan] Khamatova: Without revolution. It could be some kind of changes in mindset. Without revolutions. I don’t want revolution. I’m categorical on this point, because the heads of completely innocent people fly in revolution and all these wars. I don’t think…

A while ago I was tagged by @die-schwanenkoenigin to list 10 songs I like with names in the title. Thank you. <3 Right now I am way too intense about a song with a name in the title, Major Tom - Peter Schilling. It's been playing on repeat all day long and it's slowly driving me mad. So I will try to break the cycle by forcing myself to listen to something else before I lose it entirely. 1. Cody's Theme - AJJ - It's the kind of song I want to take apart word for word, note for note to analyze out why it makes me feel so much. The angry child is quite relatable but the music itself is so energetic it makes me want to stomp around like Rumpelstiltskin but in a good way, not out of anger. (Which my parents called me when I was a child because I was perpetually angry and frequently stomping my foot in rage.)

2. Paula Ausente - Marta Gómez - She wrote it inspired by Isabel Allende's memoir by the same name. I used to cry my eyes out listening to this. I no longer do but the tenderness and beautiful wording remain just as moving. The first line of the book still makes me tear up though if I spend a second too long on it.

3. Katharina - AnnenMayKantereit - This song came out at just the right name and it even contains my name. As if it had been written for me.

4. Rebecca - Against Me! - This one just makes me feel good and energized. Perfect to scream along to. And queer!

5. Amie - Damien Rice - For years I have been wondering about the reference to Story of O since it appears both in this song and the album title itself is O. Maybe it's about going in a circle and not the book at all because I have never been able to find any interviews that address this. Either way, I love the song.

6. Für Marie Louise/Voor Marie Louise - Herman van Veen - I can't decide between the German and Dutch version so it's both. His voice is like home to me and his words of utmost comfort.

7. Антонина - Юрий Шевчук (ДДТ) (Antonina - Yuri Shevchuk (DDT)) - DDT has become one of my favourite bands, partially due to Yuri's voice. Russian, to me, is the most beautiful sounding language and hearing him sing evokes such a strong reaction I feel it in my chest. It's oppressive and too much and I can never get enough of it. I go a few weeks without listening to his voice and when I finally do again, I wonder how I could live without.

8. Báidín Fheilimí - Sinéad O'Connor - One of my favourite songs ever. There isn't much to the lyrics but she just knew how to make songs her own and give them her all. Anything her voice touches turns into the most beautiful music.

9. Laura Laurent - Bright Eyes - Perfect depression song! The verse "But you should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living" always hits home. As having trouble with living describes quite well how I've experienced a lot of my depression.

10. Paula - Zoé - One last song with my name. I like how my name sounds in Spanish, and I like the song and the album it's on. It's the quintessential autumn music for me for some reason and today I can already smell autumn in the evening air. This took forever – especially editing it down from my original ramblings – but I think the spell Major Tom has had on me is broken. I closed the tab, I think I am free now. As for tagging... @ilovetextingandscones @imminentinertia @biveganpoetbat @mvickym @hummingbooks and whoever else wants to, I am always curious about music and I love songs with names in them. No pressure obviously. :)

Yuri Shevchuk (DDT) by michaelrockphoto December 2, 2017 at 05:32AM

“Motherland is not the president’s ass that needs to be kissed”

For this phrase during a concert in Ufa, the leader of the DDT, Yuri Shevchuk, was recorded and summoned to court. After the concert, the security forces came to Shevchuk backstage, who isolated him from the group and had a conversation with the musician for an hour.

Recall that earlier the DDT group canceled a concert scheduled for late April in Tyumen due to the group's unwillingness to play in a hall with a Z-swastika, said the band's leader Yuri Shevchuk.

But not only the phrase of the DDT leader is surprising, but also the reaction of the audience. They applaud his words.
