    And your link with the song is a great moment... Where is Putin is this? 10 (!) seconds of a folkloric group compared with the German Army and SA... That is a monument you just show... The putinisation of Russia is very well en route...

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

    If you want the whole song about Putin:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfP9_ZAofrY
    It was sung in September 2014 and it looks like a thanksgiving song for annexing (or reunifying as they call it) the Crimea.

    If you want to know what is in the song:
    It was a crucial moment, everybody ran to you and asked to save the Crimea from a bloodbath.
    And you opened doors for mothers and children of the Russian Crimea. People are celebrating and saluting the wise decision of Putin.
    The refrain: Go on with what you are doing, Putin, and you will outshine the movie heroes, you are the best President. You are Russia's strong argument.

    Then the tune of the Russian anthem is intertwined into the song and the singers go: We are proud of our country. The curtain.

    As for the comparison with the Hitlerjugend Lied, it is drawn in the music, not in the lyrics.

    I'd put the Russian anthem into anything it's simply epic. So is Hitman 2's main theme by the way

    "Then the tune of the Russian anthem is intertwined into the song and the singers go: We are proud of our country. The curtain." And the Croats composed an hymn to Germany because Germany helped them during the War for their independence:

    It is time for you to understand that every country have their lunatics writing for their President or the person they considered as helper/hero , and locals thanking someone for help during a struggle:

    I realize it more than you would believe, but what you are not aware of is the number of such lunatics in modern Russia. I gave only one example of such a song, but having access to Russian media I can see it recur now and again. And they glorify not only the deeds of Putin, but his character traits as well.

    This tendency which now has stopped to be a province of singing lunatics only but has become a trend in fashion, sports and other spheres, clearly marks the type of society Russia is turning (if not has already turned) into. Even in the USSR I didn't see such open sycophancy. Well, it was there under Stalin or referred to Lenin, but after 1953 no songs were composed about the LIVING leaders, nor their portraits were printed on T-shirts or plates.

    It seems that those who initiated the referendum in the Netherlands embezzled some grants:

    It is in Dutch, I hope soon it will become available in English as well.

    It's not true what is said there, Geenpijl declined the money themselves, but they did help others get it, no matter if they are pro, against, or neutral
