Red Army Choir

They had good music, so did any militaristic regime though

1. I like it, more than most military choirs.
2. Maybe it was better in general for the typical peasant, but it was not properly managed. Perhaps the focus on armaments was what saved the USSR during invasion, but after that it was pointless and hindered the national economy. I think the kind of market socialism that Yugoslavia had would have worked much better.

I love them.
"The Red Army is the Strongest", "The Sacred War", "March of the Defenders of Moscow", "Poyushka Polye" and "Katyusha" are all lit as fuck.

Their system of government definitely "helped" when it came to the music they made. The USSR forced many artists, architects, and composers to only produce works that proclaimed the strengths and virtues of the state.

Here, listen to this. It's not the RAQ but it has similar vibes. A Kazakh song about fighting with a lover.

I think that the music of the red army choir is not nearly as state-related as many other authoritarian regimes. (Ex: Nazis)

Another thing about the choir that really separates them is their use of the Russian-romantic period of music.

In the second question, I really meant did the economic system help the choir, but thanks for the insight

I like the Internationale and Bella Ciao, but all commies should be thrown out of helicopters desu
