They dissed on the T tetrenome cry time, but I guess in the old tetris no t spin bonuses :\

 

[Skill/CJaZ]

Sounds like tetris.

 

[Commando Vlaskiyov]

This was a great catchy song, and one of the best music videos in a long time. I also loved it because it appealed to my Russian/Soviet obsession.

Now I will see Russia as a game a Tetris, and noting else. lol

"The winter is cold, I've got plenty of gold, and I'm standing in line for a loaf of bread.".

Don't understand that one part, they have gold but still poor? Gold isn't worth anything? Can someone explain? :3

ya i noticed that as well. i think its talkin bout how theres so much demand, but the government keeps a lid on the supply & because of that they jack up the price of the loaf of bread just to make a massive profit. also need to understand that i believe that time period was back in the 80's if i remember correctly. if anyone knows better than me, feel free to correct me. to be honest, its really more of a guess there. still great song & because sexy beast suggested it, i was able to watch the whole time & it kept my attention. thats why i enjoy his suggestions so much. hes real bout his opinions & doesnt beat round the bush.

This is so epic I can't think of any descriptive words in the languages I know (English, French, German) that can to justice to this.

:O

Pillar was pretty much right. Though the supply of bread had not much to do with the government wanting to make profits. By the time Gorbachev was in office the USSR's economy was in shambles. Years of economic mismanagement and a costly war in Afghanistan had driven their economy past the breaking point. On top of that, the USSR's whole system was messed up, even if they had they had an ample amount of wheat it just might sit in silos rotting...though I wont get deeper into that.

To make a long story short, the people of Russia had plenty of money to buy bread...but there wasn't enough of it to go around.

that powerglove song was pretty sweet. i know theres a techno version of the song, but im gonna get my friend 2 create a trance version of the song. gonna try for an uplifting if not soft & melodic go.

 

[XXzz-Trauma-zzXX]

My favorite part is where he says "Can I have a long block please." I say this at least once every time i play tetris LOL!

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Brilliantly written, loved the editing. Loved everything.

I am a history major with some expertise in Russian studies, and I approve this message.

Great video. Timeline relatively accurately goes from ~1917 to present... I got a good laugh out of it

I always thought they were very poor during that time.
