Here’s a concert under Church auspices…

Here’s a concert put on by the KPRF…

______________________________

This group needs no introduction… the Pyatnitsky Russian Folk Choir is one of the most famous choral ensembles in the world. Here’s a one-hour concert from the Культура (Kultura: Culture) TV channel in Russia and an one-hour KPRF event. The venue for the Church concert is the hall of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour… this proves that this choir sings at both KPRF and Church events and sees no contradiction in it. That shouldn’t surprise you… both the Party and Church learned from the mistakes of the Sov era. Both Party and Church believe in Social Justice… NOT the Free Market or Neoliberal greed. Most contemporary Communists are believers… most contemporary believers (including His Holiness) are sympathetic to a revival of the Soviet Union under non-atheistic auspices.

The honoured dead of the Repressions and VOV did NOT die in vain…

The Cross and the Red Banner are not only not in opposition… they stand for the SAME things… ponder that.

NB:

There’s some spoken portions, but they’re short… less than four minutes.
