Voices From Russia - Wellness Check

[dorispulaski]

To our Russia posters, this is meant to be a safe place for you to post, to tell us how you are doing. We worry about you.

It is a Golden Skate equivalent of a police wellness check.

We hope you are OK.

For other posters, this thread is not for an open discussion pro and con

 

[dorispulaski]

I hope all are well.

You know… when a few years ago this forum offered the option of adding the flag of one’s country (below the avatar), I didn’t add my flag. I was thinking: “Anyway I chose Rina RUS as my name here in order to show that I’m Russian, so maybe I don’t need to show it twice”.
Today I decided to raise the flag and I feel happy about this decision.

(you don’t even need to read subtitles, because nobody talks in this cartoon)

As for “Cossacks”, many Cossacks are Ukrainians, many are Russians. It is mentioned that there were also groups of some other nationalities among Cossacks. I’d say Cossacks are a large group of people united by their own culture, their own traditions. This is what wiki says (if it is interesting for you):

On this short video you can see the VI World Youth and Student Festival (Moscow, 1957). I think it’s a very nice video!

Of course, promoting of any ideas can be called propaganda. I think this video is propaganga of international friendship. These are the ideas which deserve to be promoted.

The song (which you hear on this video) is a great song.
I’d like to translate it:

If the guys from all over the world
Could get together one day,
What a cheerful company that would be!
And the future would be near at hand.

Guys, guys, we are strong enough
To save the Earth from fire.
We are for peace, for friendship,
For smiles of our loved ones,
For heartiness of meetings.

If the guys from all over the world
Raised a song in chorus,
That would be great,
What a thunder that would be.
Let’s sing in chorus, guys!

If the guys from all over the world
Had declared their loyalty to peace,
How joyful would be our lives.
Let’s be friends forever, guys!

Guys, guys, we are strong enough
To save the Earth from fire.
We are for peace, for friendship,
For smiles of our loved ones,
For heartiness of meetings.

Lyrics by E. Dolmatovsky
Music by V. Soloviev-Sedoy
Mark Bernes is the singer
“If the guys from all over the world…” is the name of this song

Maybe it is unbelievable for you, but many soviet songs and movies are very kind and wise. Great songs, great movies.

Maybe it is unbelievable for you, but many soviet songs and movies are very kind and wise. Great songs, great movies.

I quite like the old Soyuzmultfilm children's animations Vinni Pukh (Winnie the Pooh) is very funny and cute! Better than the Disney version. I've also seen clips floating around on Youtube of Cheburashka, Brownie Kuzya, Hedgehog in the Fog, Tale of Tales (not sure if this last one is meant for kids though, it feels more arthouse).

I also like Kino, I guess they are probably the most well-known Soviet band? 'Gruppa krovi' and 'zvezda po imeni solntse' have a timeless appeal.

It’s a pity that sometimes I google something with English subtitles, but see that Youtube doesn’t have that thing with subtitles at all now. For example, I see that it has no “Twelve Months” now (no cartoon and no movie with actors). Nothing. “Twelve Months” is a nice fairy tale.
When I was a child, we watched both soviet cartoons and Disney cartoons. We enjoyed Disney cartoons too.

We also watched nice Czech cartoons about The Mole (have you seen them?)

You know… I was going to share the song which is called “Our Beautiful Future”. I also have been reading comments about this song, and one comment in Ukrainian language says: “This song is perfect in any language. If we stay alive, we’ll sing all together”. I don’t know who posted this comment, but I take it seriously.
Soviet songs are a real treasure. Many of us want to share this treasure with other people. Russians keep trying to translate those songs. (This time I speak about poetical translations.)

I decided to start with this variant, because I think the video is good and it can help to feel this song (even though the text in this variant doesn’t seem to be really good)
Our Beautiful Future

www.youtube.com

music by Evgeni Krylatov
Russian lyrics by Yuri Entin

In Russian it is just “Beautiful Future” (without “my” or “our”). I think for soviet people it was about our common future, even though every person was asking himself: “What I (personally) have done today for our common future”. Maybe it can’t be so in the English translation, but I think it is so in the original.

A Russian kid living in Britain ten years ago introduced my grandkids to Cheburashka, who became a family favourite. I'll have to look up these others, especially Vinni Pukh!

I guess you need dubbed versions for kids, but it seems Youtube doesn’t have them now.
This is the original soviet Winnie the Pooh (so that you could decide whether you like the style of this animation). I can also say that it was directed by Khitruk (maybe it can help to find the dubbed version somewhere).

The sad thing about dubbed versions is that the original music is often deleted.

As for cartoons which can be interesting for older children, “The Old Man And The Sea” by Alexander Petrov is a fantastically beautiful animation (based on a story by Ernest Hemingway). Maybe it is even too beautiful for the serious story it tells, but I think it deserves to be seen.

Since today is International Women's Day, I'll share a folk rendition of the popular song "Love, girls, simple romantics..." by the musical group Bravo. It was made famous by singer Valery Syutkin (and he took part in the recording, but he does not sing, but plays an instrument). The song was sung exclusively by residents of Sakhalin Island, and the musical parts were also performed by locals.



Check out the polyphony, it's a very pleasant sound in the style of the 60's.

song

In the most complete calm and the strongest hurricane
Go to the blue sea ships.
Maybe it's because something is understandable seafarers
What is the ocean of love!

These brave guys and trouble does not matter
Guiding helps them a star!

Love , girls, simple romantics
Brave pilots and sailors.
Drop, girls , boys home ,
They should not give their love .

Drew on the blue sky " I love you"
White trace fastest plane .
Who Congratulates
Woman its way as it does the pilot ?

These brave guys and trouble does not matter
Guiding helps them a star!

Love , girls, simple romantics
Brave pilots and sailors.
Drop, girls , boys home ,
They should not give their love .

These brave guys and trouble does not matter
Guiding helps them a star!

Love , girls, simple romantics
Brave pilots and sailors !
Drop, girls , boys home ,
They should not give their love .
They should not give their love .

 

[Mariott]

Because I liked it so much, another project of the same series - enthusiasts who live on Sakhalin perform a song that has become the island's anthem. In the lyrics of the song there is the word "the farthest harbor Union," referring to Soviet Union (the song was written in the '60s). As the song became a kind of anthem of the island, not a single word was removed from it.

text song

Well what do say to you about Sakhalin?

Well what do say to you about Sakhalin?
Normal weather on the island .
Surf sprinkled with salt my sailor's vest
And I live near the sunrise.

Chorus:
A mail with transfers from the mainland flies
To the farthest harbor Union
Where I throw rocks from a steep shore
Far LaPerouse Strait .

Low clouds over Sakhalin ,
And I live on the knoll at dawn ,
Showing sun for fishermen
And I send it to you on Yakimanka.

Chorus .

In the land where the wind and waves argue ,
Live laconic men
And the island, as if seiner,
In return home after the fishing season

Chorus .

Well what do say to you about Sakhalin?
Normal weather on the island .
Surf sprinkled with salt my sailor's vest
And I live near the sunrise.

Luckily we don't need dubbed versions. I don't attempt to speak Russian because my accent is atrocious, but I do read it and understand it fairly well when I hear it spoken by others. (It was offered in my Canadian high school in the 1950s -- each school taught different languages depending on the availability of teachers.) My daughter and her kids speak Russian quite fluently, learned from their neighbours in Britain (and the Russian kids learned Scots Gaelic from my family). I've looked at a couple of the cartoons you recommended whenever my ailing computer feels like downloading something, and I agree that Vinnie Pukh is very much cuter than the Disney version, although the Shepherd illustrations in the original books are still the gold standard. Thanks for all the links!

Your family is amazing
To say the truth, I had a feeling that I had almost nothing to show, when I thought that your grandkids couldn’t watch Russian animation without dubbing. If they can, the choice of cartoons is wider, of course. I’d be happy to show some a bit later (if you don’t mind).
And of course, I’d be happy to see you again in this thread.

I decided to mention only one short cartoon today.
It is based on a nice story by Lilian Moore (an American writer). I think this story teaches not only to be brave, but also to be friendly.
