Oy ti Porushka-Paranya, ti za chto lyubish' Ivana
Oy da ya za to lyublyu Ivana, chto golovushka kudryava
Chto golovushka kudryava, a borodushka da kucheryava
Kudri vyutsya u litsa, lyublyu Vanyu-molodtsa
Oy kudri vyutsya u litsa, oy lyublyu Vanyu-molodtsa
Oy da uzh kak Vanyushka po gorenke pokhazhivayet...

Oy da uzh kak Vanyushka po gorenke pokhazhivayet
Oy da on sapog i o porog da pokolachivayet
On sapog i o porog da pokolachivayet
Oy da svoi umniye rechi razgovarivayet...

Oy da svoi umniye rechi razgovarivayet,
"Oy da uzh kak ti menya, sudarushka, visushila
Uzh kak ti menya, sudarushka, visushila
Bez morozu da bez vetru serdtse viznobila..."

Great culture and potential in Russia ruined by the little dictators.

Would it be ethical and appropriate to remove this song while russian Ivan cruelly killing people in the foreign land? 

What would that accomplish?  Cancel culture strikes again.  This is a great RP track from 2003, very long ago, relatively speaking.  But sure, since there's a real bad guy doing bad things under the Russian flag, let's get rid of everything possibly connected.   Or, just press Skip until this conflict is over.

Edit: I see you are in Ukraine. My heart goes out to you, I *do* hope Putin gets destroyed by what he's doing to your and your country.  If I thought removing this song would help in any practical way, I would be there with you.

To borrow some wisdom from Zadie Smith:
"If novelists know anything it's that individual citizens are internally plural: they have within them the full range of behavioral possibilities. They are like complex musical scores from which certain melodies can be teased out and others ignored or suppressed, depending, at least in part, on who is doing the conducting. At this moment, all over the world ... the conductors standing in front of this human orchestra have only the meanest and most banal melodies in mind. ... there is no place on earth where they have not been played at one time or another. Those of us who remember, too, a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along."

I'd label myself Putin-phobic....

OMG Paulig!  I know what you mean... I was in Starbucks the other day, and there it was Russian Garbage Music being played in the back ground. I was driving into work this morning, and Lo and Behold, Who'da thunk it! RGM was being played on NPR. I was in Italy last week on vacation, and RGM was all over the radio.

RGM Its everwhere!  You can't get away from it. Maybe its a  Putin-ish subliminal plot to help re-elect Trump?

Exactly!  It's impossible to get away from music like this.  Every turn of the radio dial, every supermarket muzak playlist, every high school dance.  Let's break away from this endless East European folk pop!

Sorry about your mother, but glad you felt comfortable sharing it here.  Will be down to visit the family soon while sneaking out for Charleston Race Week as often as possible.  You know, some folks think that's a gorget rather than a crescent moon.

As for this song ... I kind of liked it, and it blended nicely into the Harry Manx that followed.  Shows a thematic parallel from around the globe.

There aren't many Russian songs on RP, right enough. I was shocked, too, by the sound, but pleasantly - it really grabbed my attention. The sound is very americo-celtic, IMO, and if not for the Russian lyrics you'd think that this was a song from the US backwoods. Very, very RP. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Bluegrass is big internationally.  I don't know if this qualifies but to my ears it does.  

Shameless plug the International Bluegrass Festival is held here in Guthrie OK every October.  They bring in acts from all over the world.
