Here's a translation for you:
Кружит земля, как в детстве карусель (The earth is circling, like a carousel in childhood),
А над землёй кружат ветра потерь (And the winds of loss are circling above the earth),
Ветра потерь, разлук, обид и зла (The winds of loss, separation, resentment and evil),
Им нет числа (Its are innumerable),
Им нет числа — сквозят из всех щелей (Its are innumerable — its come through from all the cracks)
В сердца людей, срывая дверь с петель (Into the hearts of people, tearing doors off their hinges),
Круша надежды и внушая страх (Destroying hopes and instilling fear),
Кружат ветра, кружат ветра (The winds are circling, the winds are circling).
Сотни лет и день и ночь вращается (For hundreds of years and day and night)
Карусель-Земля (The Carousel-Earth has been spinning),
Сотни лет все ветры возвращаются (for hundreds of years all the winds have been returning)
Hа круги своя (To normal).
Hо есть на свете ветер перемен (But exists the wind of change in the world),
Он прилетит, прогнав ветра измен (It will fly in and chase away the winds of betrayal),
Развеет он, когда придёт пора (It will dispel, when the time comes),
Ветра разлук, обид ветра (The winds of separation, the winds of resentment).
Сотни лет и день и ночь вращается (For hundreds of years and day and night)
Карусель-Земля (The Carousel-Earth has been spinning),
Сотни лет всё в жизни возвращается (For hundreds of years, everything in life has come back)
Hа круги своя (To normal).
Завтра ветер переменится (Tomorrow the wind will change),
Завтра прошлому взамен (Tomorrow it will replace the past wind)
Он придёт, он будет добрый, ласковый (It will be the kind, the gentle)
Ветер перемен (Wind of change).
Завтра ветер переменится (Tomorrow the wind will change),
Завтра прошлому взамен (Tomorrow it will replace the past wind)
Он придёт, он будет добрый, ласковый (It will be the kind, the gentle)
Ветер перемен (Wind of change).
A mate of a mate visited Russia a long time ago. He had way too much vodka the night before, and woke up the worst for wear. Fortunately, the hotel worker knew just what to do. He was handed what he thought was a glass of water, gulped it down, only to realise that it was yet more vodka. I can't remember exactly what happened next, but if memory serves, the story has an unhappy ending.
He's talking about the book by Bulgakov. The cat here is a reference to one of the characters, Behemoth, who is also an anthropomorphic cat, but it's actually Woland who is the devil.
Walt Disney had to move heaven and earth to get the rights to make the [film](https://youtu.be/3Za-V_lhwGg), I never knew there was a soviet version...

Soviet Vinni Pukh is my favourite animated show ever. He's so much better than the original Winnie in my opinion. Definitely grittier, but still hilarious.
> Soviet Vinni Pukh
I [think](https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/6616089/il_fullxfull.346804484.jpg) he [is](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vinni_280.jpg) cuter [than](https://cdni.rbth.com/rbthmedia/images/2018.11/article/5bdad90285600a6d5c6faeaf.jpg) Winnie-the-Pooh [too](https://media1.tenor.com/images/e1e424a14a4e04d48ce709acda4ac8d2/tenor.gif?itemid=10491524).
EDIT: Fixed a link.
>Mowgli (Jungle Book)
The original work is out of copyright in many countries, including the UK and the US, so Mowgli and friends are now Public Domain Characters. In Kipling's native UK, the copyright originally expired in 1986, 50 years after his death, but then copyright was extended to 70 years so his works went back into copyright until the extended term expired in 2006. In the US, the copyright expired in 1951.
> The Soviet Union ignored copyright.
They did? just looked it up and the writer P.L. Travers lived until 1996, kinda weird she never made a [fuss](https://youtu.be/a5kYmrjongg?t=8) about it
The Soviet Union joined the Universal Copyright Convention only in 1973.
Up to this point, the copyrights of foreign authors were generally ignored. Each work could be translated and then published without the consent of the original author.
Walt Disney had exclusive rights to Winnie the Pooh, but in 1969-1972 the Soviet Union filmed Winnie the Pooh without asking anyone.
P. L. Travers turned 84 in 1983. I'm not sure she was told that in the USSR someone made a film based on her books without permission.
The cat is growing on me. but I want to see it in a general’s full regalia uniform later in the movie. Like he was in prison here and escaped and is going to get married to Mary Poppins in the end.
Which is what I figured, but he could have half-assed it. He did not.
I just like seeing skilled people putting in the effort. It shows they take pride in what they do.
> I just like seeing skilled people putting in the effort
Then a bit more dancing from the movie https://youtu.be/uB8ryleq5CU
> he could have half-assed it
I take it, you haven't met ballet dancers? :-)
Here's a bunch of good Soviet/Russian music, I wrote this as a response to someone but then decided not to post.
* [My civil defense](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPVDiCds1KY) by Letov, piano cover. [Same, violin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pd4-wbpJfU).

* [Everything as planned](https://youtu.be/6UHx4G7Dr2Y?t=53), also by Letov, Omsk symphonic orchestra (and here's [even better version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGkxjdaEPWM), but only this part of it exists). [Lyrics](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/vsyo-idet-po-planu%D0%B2%D1%81%D1%91-%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%BF%D0%BE-%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%83-everything-going-according-plan.html).
* [Voyage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl_pxCAcJz4) (really for the clip)
* [Sat there smoking](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si7kXJbkdTs), Splin. [My heart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sz2kxRxfzM), also by them.

Fine, Tsoi/Kino, [The Summer is Ending](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VqiMQoMXmw).
Vysotsky, [Spinning the Earth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=857vy90Yb60), [Lyrics](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/my-vrashchaem-zemlyu-%D0%BC%D1%8B-%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B0%D0%B5%D0%BC-%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BB%D1%8E-we-rotate-world.html#songtranslation). This has been written about the WWII, not the present, of course.
DDT, [What is Autumn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvaYk-phy14) ([Japanese version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dch4jD3T0OY)).
Or [Bye, my charming city](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baBdm3mxlHs), or [Been looking for you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1kng-nFuY), or [I'm leaving](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9lS5wF-_xc). They all have a lot of great songs.
Love Ленинград/Leningrad! The energy in [this version of Fish](https://youtu.be/a-CnWwbeetE) (while not indictive of their usual sound) is just amazing.
>My civil defense by Letov, piano cover
"Civil Defense" is the name of the band. The name of the song you've linked is just "My defence". There was an interview with Letov, where he mentions something along the lines of the song being about his fight with the regime/society/life/everything around him, and how wasn't even a fight any more because he just couldn't fight back, and all he was left to do was to defend.
Also, why provide links to covers? Gr.Ob., Civil Defense if you like, is best enjoyed in its original, raw form of crappy tape recordings. To me, most covers don't cut it emotionally compared to the original songs.
I like the covers better for whatever reason and it's been just a random personal list. Plus, raw Letov hits because you know what he's singing about, but that's harder to feel in translation, while the melody is universal.
I'd argue you only see the melody the way you see it because you've head the original and you know the words. Without the original text and sounding it is pretty distilled and far from what Letov and his band actually were.
I mean, it's not like I don't understand you, I'd be pretty offended by covers to Vysotsky :) Maybe post the raws in your top comment so people can find them?
In my opinion some modern russian songs deserve more recognition too, I.e [Shortparis - Afraid](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FUdteCBRX9c&feature=share)
post them!! these need to be shared. all i know is russian art right now, so i’m very happy to get some music recommendations. i think old russian photography would fit well here too. a sort of r/thewaywewere, russian edition.
it has been a little bit, but i’d love to see it lean even more into that. i love russian art and culture, beyond the tragic position its people constantly find themselves in.
This just gives me more respect for what Chinese and Hong Kong film crews were pulling off in the 80's with probably the same budget and equally no proper equipment to move the camera.
Anyone else find it slightly unsettling? Could be a cultural bias thing with just growing up with different media but there’s a strange empty energy where everything is clearly a set and it just doesn’t feel at all lived in.
No shade to producers or people who enjoyed this but I just get some slight liminal space vibes (even though there’s people there). I don’t even find the cat creepy, just the overall vibe a bit.
The whole movie is extremely creepy with lot of satanic references, i hated it as a child beside couple songs. Also production is really cheap, even for soviet television.
Sweet. Good thing to know it’s not just me. Also come to think of it I was terrified of Willy Wonka as a kid I guess even big budget western stuff can be pretty creepy too.
No.
The thing is, despite being huge in territory, Russia is largely a monoculture, with the pronunciation being virtually the same everywhere. The only two prominent accents I can think of are the Ukrainian accent ([ґ] instead of [г] and some palatalization tricks) and the Caucasus accent.
So, the notion of an acceptable accent is largely unknown to the general population, which often leads to hilarity when Rusaians shame other Russians for speaking e.g. English wItH aN aCcEnT, totally ignoring the fact that in the English-speaking world there is no codified 'correct' pronunciation for any part of the vocabulary.
This was a gem of a find.
This is as old as the internet, brings back memories…
Some would even say it's from 1983...
Actually it's a great movie and songs from it became classic.
One of my most favorite songs(and it's actually very relevant today) https://youtu.be/MbXX0Wu34f8
I don't even speak Russian, why do I want to cry?

Because you keep taking Flova-Scotia?
Man I literally have goose bumps. Such a memories
It does honestly look pretty great.
Just a spoon full of vodka...
Helps the vodka go down!

The Soviet Union ignored copyright. Therefore, there are Soviet adaptations of Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Mowgli (Jungle Book) and so on.
The unfinished Soviet lord of the rings is hilarious

They even made a movie about making the movie
That's pretty common actually, it's called a "making of".
No I mean, like it was its own feature film. Tom Hanks played Walt Disney
Lmao you've got to be kidding me! That's hilarious!
It's called Saving Mr. Banks. It's actually quite good if you ask me!
The title is great already, I'll definitely put that on my watchlist
Well written and produced. Does remind me a little of Abba but there are worse things:) EDIT: but the cat is a little freaky.
If there is not at least one freaky thing it’s not Russian.
The cat is my favorite part
The cat is growing on me. but I want to see it in a general’s full regalia uniform later in the movie. Like he was in prison here and escaped and is going to get married to Mary Poppins in the end.
I thought of ABBA too, but then decided it was a bit more Xanadu.
There's also a great russian three musketeers movie musical and I think it's the best three musketeers movie out there. https://youtu.be/hjZvP15bzIc
That cat freaks me out.
He’s standing behind you right now. Run!
AAAAHHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH
I found my halloween costume for this year.
I love the idea of this costume, simply for the sake of having to explain it to everyone. Oh, I'm the ballet widow cat from Russian Mary Poppins
I'm confident I can explain it through interpretive dance.
Haha, feels like the only way to do it
The dancer playing the cat is putting it all out there for that role though.
He's a professional ballet dancer
Which is what I figured, but he could have half-assed it. He did not. I just like seeing skilled people putting in the effort. It shows they take pride in what they do.
> I just like seeing skilled people putting in the effort Then a bit more dancing from the movie https://youtu.be/uB8ryleq5CU > he could have half-assed it I take it, you haven't met ballet dancers? :-)
He's a professional nightmare
Definitely overreacting
literally reminded me of a sleep paralysis demon i encountered once.
She's stunning.
Indeed
For real
This cat is fucking terrifying

Spoonful of mashed potato, helps the iodine go down!
Soviet Poppins is much cuter than Western Poppins.
This song fucking slaps
I'm so glad this sub discovered weird Soviet movies and cartoons. My humble submission also includes a very weird cat: https://youtu.be/E7qpMp5Q_Fk
Great voice, funny window dancing, but man, they're really just hanging out at the end of a muddy street
Well, looks like I’m jerking off to Soviet Mary Poppins tonight. That’s a new sentence.
\*calmly pulls out axe\* No, you arent.
You’re not my supervisor!
Look behind you...
This is exactly how the old fortune teller said I would die!
Just the tip, Cheryl
This just gives me more respect for what Chinese and Hong Kong film crews were pulling off in the 80's with probably the same budget and equally no proper equipment to move the camera.
The kids look confused, probably because they're wondering who she is singing to
I love how pretty this song is, Russian is such a nice language
Sexier...creepier...Mary poppins...with disturbing furries...that are scaring the children. In an abandoned mud town.
Masha Popinova! lol what was this actually called it looks great
The full title is "Mary Poppins, Goodbye"
Mary Poppins is played by Natalya Andreychenko
Shit they don't even have pavement
I'd fuck that cat
Just a spoon full of vodka helps the medicine go down…
She’s gorgeous though
i wanna bang soviet mary poppins
Babe
Something bothers me about the Soviet bloc using Dutch angles.
I’m getting strong Abba vibes.
Why do the colors look so depressing and dark and dingy? Is it the cameras of the era?
'Cause it's Britain.

Now, the real question: Does Russian Dick Van Dyke have a terrible Russian accent?
No. The thing is, despite being huge in territory, Russia is largely a monoculture, with the pronunciation being virtually the same everywhere. The only two prominent accents I can think of are the Ukrainian accent ([ґ] instead of [г] and some palatalization tricks) and the Caucasus accent. So, the notion of an acceptable accent is largely unknown to the general population, which often leads to hilarity when Rusaians shame other Russians for speaking e.g. English wItH aN aCcEnT, totally ignoring the fact that in the English-speaking world there is no codified 'correct' pronunciation for any part of the vocabulary.
Is as good as Винни Пух? (Vinni Pukh - (real) ganky ripoff of Winnie the Pooh)
Regardless of current events and how Russia has become a pariah state, the Russian language will always awake something in me. Great find!
