5 January 2013. One of My Favourite Things… Нам нужна одна победа (We need one victory)

00 This is why Russia Remembers Every Victory Day. 19.11.12

Bear this image in mind as you see Paffhausen sucking up at the American Enterprise Institute and Potapov yipping to to be accepted by the Moonies at the Washington Times… when they do so, they spit on the people in the image… never forget that.

A-Studio sang this version of Bulat Okudzhava’s famous song in 2010 at the Victory Day concert in Moscow. Note well that the audience knows the words and joins in. Americans jeer at Russian patriotism… they mock it, as did a leering journalist in the Washington Post. Here’s what sad… there are so-called Russian Orthodox people who stand with the American mockers, not with patriotic Orthodox people. Two of them are James Paffhausen and Victor Potapov… they’ve sold out to the American rightwing… they aid those who attack the Rodina and our Church. So, be careful… there are those who wear riassas who support the moneygrubbing godless West, not the god-fearing Orthosphere. They’re the real Sergianists; they’re the real “Chekists in riassas”.

That’s a rum situation, isn’t it? However, that’s life in our fallen world…

VOR Presents… Piter Gave a Last Farewell to Favourite Son Eduard Khil… Вечная памятъ, Eduard Anatolyevich… Goodbye, Mr Trololo

On Thursday, 7 June, hundreds came to St Petersburg to the Arkady Raikin Variety Theatre to participate in the secular memorial service for Russian pop music legend and People’s Artist of the RSFSR Eduard Khil, who died on 4 June in the 78th year of his life.

Hundreds of people attended the memorial service at the theatre, many of them being over forty. Almost everyone brought some kind of flowers. Many of those who came to bid farewell to the singer were familiar with his work since the 1960s, as they grew up with Khil’s songs.

Khil’s admirers carried flowers to the famous Tolstoy House on Rubinshteyn Street, where the singer lived.

Earlier, an Orthodox service was held at the Church of the Mother of God of Smolensk. After the secular memorial service for Khil took place at the Raikin Theatre, his burial took place at the Smolensky Cemetery.

Family and friends sent many messages of condolence. For example, President Vladimir Putin wrote Khil’s family, saying that his name would always live in the popular memory, as he was a “richly gifted, amazingly bright, and positive person in an epoch in the history of our people’s music”. In the photo above, we see Zoe Pravdina, the widow of Eduard Khil, at the secular memorial service at the Raikin Theatre.
