Kids Praise Yanukovych in Soviet-Style Song (Full Version)

Welcome to another Lost Generation! ☭owered by Cradle-to-Grave Brainwahing $olutions™.

Now that I have the full version, let me take the liberty to translate the refrain, rhyme by rhyme.



Uncle Vitya, strong and powerful
Uncle Vitya, an uncle who can rule
Uncle Vitya, an uncle who's heaven-sent
Uncle Vitya Yanukovych, a smart president

Hey girls, you forgot “Uncle Lyosha, a smart prosecutor.”

I mean Oleksiy Bahanets, the Lviv oblast prosecutor who uses a $100K Lexus CX 470, with a police license plate that the police can’t identify.

Every Friday, according to Express.ua, that Lexus gets loaded with bagfuls of something that travels from Lviv to Kyiv.










Uncle Lyosha calls the story an “invasion of privacy” and wants the reporters disciplined.


I wouldn’t be surprised if he's just an honest man who owes his fortune to “Climbing for Dollars.”

5-Year Olds Sing Yanukovych Songs, Soviet-Style



Ever heard one of those Soviet kids' songs that idolize the Great Leader?

Well, here’s a fresh one. Welcome Ukraine's not-so-unlikely 2011 Eurovision entry!



Uncle Vitya
Strong and big

Uncle Vitya
There’s no one like him
Uncle Vitya Yanukovych
A smart president

Reporter [asks in Russian]: Who is a president?
Girl [responds with a Ukrainian-inflected и]: Yanukovych.

Reporter [continues in Russian]: What does he do?
Girl [responds in Russian]: He tells...all the people...what to do.

Courtesy of: Barbie Jazz, a children’s ensemble that brings back the good old days of Stalin’s personality cult.

There’s a romantic side to this. It turns out the director of the Luhansk-based ensemble admires Yanukovych’s grandsons and would love to have them marry his girls.

Hey girls, looks like you have your gender work cut out for you, in a couple of five-year plans!

Could one of these blasts from the past do an album with you, feat. Uncle Vitya?



Debut single suggestion: “Woman, Step Aside Please” (feat. Azarov)

Probably the Most Bizarre Version of the Soviet Anthem

Music: Soviet Anthem (church bell version)

Song title: “Slaven,” a fusion of the word Slavic and the word slavyty (Ukr. to praise)

Lyrics & ideology: a mix of pan-Slavic theism, sovok, and communitarianism (reminiscent of Dmytro Korchynsky’s Bratstvo and Nataliya Vitrenko’s PSPU)

Key words: God Almighty, people, right of the people, Slavic Union, (instead of Soviet Union), freedom, resurrection, sun, Kyivan Rus, praise

To put it mildly, I haven’t seen anything more self-contradictory in a long time.
