okay not the usual thing I post here but, this is interesting. let me know if its too out of place for this group though, never posted or even seen anything like this on the site before.

this is a video from the Russian side of youtube. its one of those videos where its a soldier playing a guitar with the light ambiance of explosions and this video gives me such a surreal feeling, mostly because the song is actually from one of my favorite bands, Kino, the songs name translates to “Blood Type” – Gruppa Korvi . and it refers to the blood type information on Soviet uniforms, using that for a message of the pointlessness of war and the loss of individuality. its a good song despite the ooo big ol scawy language barrier.

I also find it surreal that I can be listening to that song and at the same time someone out there in some part of the world could be thinking about that song in such an environment, literally everything about how they live is different from my life and I could never really understand it, I’ve never been in war.. yet (prayhopecopenever) but, something about it resonates with me.

there’s no graphic footage, and no propaganda, it’s just interesting, historically. it also depresses the fuck out of me so there’s that.

not justifying any Russian bullshit though. you gotta remember Russia has a mandatory draft though so I imagine this guy is just as fed up as I am… also reminder that we humans have a halo effect and hope for the best! this video could be layered in irony (I doubt it) but its not terrible to state that upfront. thank you for listening to me goodbye.
