I've recently discovered those on YT and can't stop listening. Some of them I remember from my childhood, some are from films or even cartoons, many were completely new to me. I'm so happy to see positive reactions in comments, clearly a lot of Soviet music stood the test of time and still resonates with people around the world. It's so refreshing to hear many different languages, some I speak or can at least recognise, and some I can't place at all. I love how while clearly Western-influenced, the music sounds distinct and unique, using a lot of folk elements and harmonies native to various Soviet block peoples. Enjoy!

Bonus: here are 11 radio mixes by Funked Up East, thank you for the suggestion OrnluWolfjarl!

For context, Zurab Japaridze is the leader of a "right-liberarian" party whose main goals are NATO and EU membership, tax cuts, decentralisation, deregulation, doubling the military budget, privatization of state-owned property, and abolition of the National Bank of Georgia. Not going to cry about his arrest TBH.

Oh, in a true right-libertarian spirit, when creating his splinter of the party, he made sure to clarify the split had nothing to do with the chairman of the main branch (also right-libertarian) defending child pornography lol.

He refused to recognise the 2020 parliamentary election claiming it was rigged. And the 2021 local elections too... And now of course.

[Edit] His party also initiated the challenge to the law requiring that at least 25% of candidates that political parties submit for elections are women, which saw that law removed by the current ruling Georgian Dream party, to the outcry of women's organisations.

Here's the picture of the patriot giving an interview in his US Army cap:

BTW I love how the "leftist woke" Guardian tried to brush off his blatant antisemitic propaganda taken right out of the Nazi playbook (Judeo-Bolshevism conspiracy theory) as brave reexamining of Soviet history, really worth a read:

Somehow their antisemitism radar was so finely tuned when it came to Corbyn, what happened Guardian?

There are a few spicy quotes from Solzhenitsyn here for interest:
