Hmm, I've seen both here in Australia.

The Red Army Choir (insert extensively meandering full name) were cheerful, swapped gifts, and sang our national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_roE45-AIU

Billy Bragg, bless his soles, gave me a look of loathing when I handed off guitars to him and sound checked, and stomped off stage after his set loudly cursing "fucking yuppies".

To his credit and defence, it was Perth in the 1980s. Boom years for unprincipled scumbags with hovercraft money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFOfd1QTW54 ... Kiss My Art indeed.

Best explanations from a room of reasonable people

C'mon, that makes us sound like we're incapable of subtlety and nuanced levelled response when in reality https://open.spotify.com/track/2bRgvNyVsN2IDeuQVpjCYP

Oh, that national anthem; I'd been expecting a rousing choral rendition of "Ya na perekure; idi na khuy"

Maybe Mr. Bragg just holds that anyone who believes in checking the sound for a gent, must surely be embedded deep in the establishment?

Maybe, or maybe ICE-as-ding-wie-scheint (& Donroe?) is just a sign that the descendants of Operation Condor supporters have started preparing to act domestically as well as in the near abroad?

I wasn't sure if Stefan-chan had found the no-longer-heim-weh too painful, or if he'd been suddenly confronted somehow with BR not necessarily being as new-world as it had appeared when he was fresh-off-the-boat, so I'm glad Mann went with the former interpretation. (and, for people who were raised on greek and latin examples, trolling from beyond the EXIT would've been nothing unusual?)

lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OxJKFEofL0 (could Sra. Oreiro be counted as an honorary [very-]west-slav, at least as part of the fin-de-siècle pan-slavic cultural heritage?)

[gsf_emergency_6]

Too expressive. (The MC is cute tho, also West Slavic?)

More of the slav here?
