Just different soldiers (read young men) who are ordered to enter the country... Big thanks @OmnistarEast for the subtitles in both languages!

I was driving in the middle of the night in GTA IV, just enjoying Liberty City with Niko, when I decided to give the game's Russian radio a try, this was the first song that played and I don't know how to explain it but I loved it

@@zakonno ну вообще музыка кино очень простая, песня может состоять из 3 аккордов, но это не отнимает у неё, как бы это сказать, бл мысль потерял. Ну короче хоть и 3 аккорда но она душевная
Кино was always my father's favorite band from his time in Afghanistan In the 80's he introduced it to me and for that I will always hold the band and this song in particular close to my heart, I enjoy how much it has seen a new light in the west.

Great song ! For those who don't know, the name of the song is due to the fact that on the sleeve of the soldiers were written their blood type if a transfusion had to be done quickly
actually not. Numbers and blood type was put on chest becouse slaves were to easy to rip in battle. Many Tsoi fans have theory becouse of that this song is about methaporical war, not real one.

@@mcfeddle certainly! However one could make an argument that there is more direct difference in genre between songs whose purpose it is to say "war is bad" and songs who seek to "this is what war is like" and it being bad
That part is implied, not explicitly stated. If you were proficient in both English and Russian, then you would understand that from Russian to English always has a “rough” translation. People listening to this song understand the context of “ not to stay in the grass”. If the whole song was sung in English most people could understand it.

First heard this song years ago on one of my favorite streamers videos. It grabbed me right away. And that chorus is just hauntingly beautiful.

Life was good, meaningful. It was rich. Not rich in terms of money, but rich culturally, intellectually, and healthwise. To be young was fun, with knowledge free and easily accessible, with the culture at every corner, and sports for everyone. The pace was slow: plenty of time to think, learn, analyze. But it was also the height of the Cold War. We were young, rebellious, and easy to manipulate. We were never satisfied with what we were given. We took for granted everything. At night, we were glued to our radio receivers, listening to the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other broadcasting services aiming at discrediting socialism and all countries which were fighting against Western imperialism. Czech socialist industrial conglomerates were building, in solidarity, entire factories, from steel to sugar mills, in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. But we saw no glory in this because Western propaganda outlets were simply ridiculing such undertakings. Our cinemas were showing masterpieces of Italian, French, Soviet, Japanese cinema. But we were told to demand junk from the US. The music offering was great, from live to recorded. Almost all music was, actually, available although with some delay, in local stores or even on stage. What was not sold in our stores was nihilist rubbish. But that was precisely what we were told to desire. And we did desire it, and copied it with religious reverence, on our tape recorders. If something was not available, the Western media outlets were shouting that it is a gross violation of free speech. They knew, and they still know now, how to manipulate young brains. At some point, we were converted into young pessimists, criticizing everything in our countries, without comparing, without even a tiny bit of objectivity. We were told, and we repeated: Everything in the Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia was bad. Everything in the West was great. Yes, it was like some fundamentalist religion or mass-madness. Hardly anyone was immune. Actually, we were infected, we were sick, turned into idiots. We were using public, socialist facilities, from libraries to theaters, subsidized cafes, to glorify the West and smear our own nations. This is how we were indoctrinated, by Western radio and television stations, and by publications smuggled into the two countries. In those days, plastic shopping bags from the West became the status symbols! You know, those bags that you get in some cheap supermarkets or department stores. When I think about it at a distance of several decades, I can hardly believe it: Young educated boys and girls, proudly walking down the streets, exhibiting cheap plastic shopping bags, for which they paid a serious amount of money. Because they came from the West. Because they were symbolizing consumerism! Because we were told that consumerism is good. We were told that we should desire "freedom". Western-style freedom. We were instructed to "fight for freedom". In many ways, we were much freer than the West. I realized it when I first arrived in New York and saw how badly educated local children of my age were, and how shallow their knowledge of the world was; and how little culture there was in regular midsize North American cities. Our food was tastier, ecologically produced. But we wanted colorful Western packaging. We demanded chemicals. - Andre Vltchek

Omnistar, thanks so much for this video. I must have watched it 100 times - there's something so surreal about the Soviet Afghan war, especially set to this music - like it's an alternate universe. Especially as somebody from the West. This song inspired me to learn Russian. I'm 4 months in so far and understand more and more every day! As Victor would say "Пожелай мне удачи"

When I was studying Soviet-Afghan war, this was the first russian song I was introduced to, including Kino. Since then I've been hooked on it as well as other russian songs. This music hits hard with every Soviet Afghan war montages I've seen.

Holy crap I LOVE this song! Kino is, in my opinion, one of if not the best bands from Russia. They're up there with Molchat Doma. Also may Viktor Tsoi rest in peace. Edit: NVM. Kino number one! Molchat Doma is still good though.
Molchat doma are up there, close to Kino, not the other way around. Kino is the best Russian band and the original. Molchat doma got influenced by Kino. Molchat doma are awesome, but Kino is always number one !
There's so much mid/subpar music from 80s/90s Russia that sounds just like this, but once you realize it's about the wars they fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and beyond, it becomes some of the best music you've ever heard. I love this stuff.
thank you omni, our family enjoy this music and we share this together. again thank you, wish you the best and hope you keep doing the things you love and sharing this music with us
I love listening to Soviet era songs or post ones since they feel different on what normally I hear as a western person and plus translation truly helps understand the natural vagueness of artists songs. Truly a Vietnam war like war on which the powerful one turns out to be incapable.
I discovered this on Vladivostok FM and the way Ruslana, the DJ, always introduces this is always in a jolly manner, shouting the words, 'GRUPPA KROVI!' damn I didn't know this was a melancholic song.
Those Mil-24s protecting that Il-76 is powerful image... It took guts to go against Stingers to protect that aircraft... Maybe it was Black Tulip flight as well... And to have that guitar as background music... ❤ Perfect job editing.

Kino is proof positive that humans can create immaculate and beautiful art even when locked down under oppressive conditions. They did new wave just as good, if not better than any band that came out of the UK. Viktor Tsoi was a genius, and that shows in the comment section of this video.

i know this is completely unrelated but every time i think about Estonia i always think of that one screenshot of a conversation where a guy gets estonia and equestria (the place from my little pony) mixed up
idk i just think thats kinda funny

Omnistar, thanks so much for this video. I must have watched it 100 times - there's something so surreal about the Soviet Afghan war, especially set to this music - like it's an alternate universe. Especially as somebody from the West.
This song inspired me to learn Russian. I'm 4 months in so far and understand more and more every day!
As Victor would say "Пожелай мне удачи"
Удачи)
я твой язык знаю. посмотрим как ты изучишь мой)
Когда я первый раз в юности услышала эту песню, мне показалась, что она про далекий космос и космический десант...
We making it out of afghan with this one 🗣🔊 🔥

LOL
Nah bro, you aint making it out
Yea
But we making it out as cargo 200

also heres mine:
WE MAKIN OUTTA 'EM ZINC-LACED COFFINS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️💀💀💀
Oh we'll make it out of Afghanistan.....in a black tulip....
there's something about Kino that just makes me never want to stop listening. song after song i can't stop. it's too good.
When I was studying Soviet-Afghan war, this was the first russian song I was introduced to, including Kino. Since then I've been hooked on it as well as other russian songs.
This music hits hard with every Soviet Afghan war montages I've seen.
Эти песни были, как будто бы созданы для этой войны.
Мы хотели принести Мир.. Не получилось
@user-bt7jn5kr3p Both the Soviet Union and the West made the same mistake in Afghanistan, but all we did was make it worse. Hopefully we can make peace for the future ✌️
@@thomitch1995 изучи историю того периода, как русские оказались в Афганистане? Кто их туда пригласил? С кем воевали? ... Историю событий 2008 года в грузии, войну во вьетнаме и корее и сейчас на украине... Что объединяет эти войны? Почитай, будет интересно...

Codename Cedar... I knew why your trailer sound so familiar
Coming here after Bivol ring walk. A big fans of Russian fighters and Kino. Grettings from Mexico
What do Soviet and US infantrymen have in common?
The Afghan flashback.
The country looks the same even after 40 years... Just different soldiers (read - young men) who are ordered to fight in a foreign country and had to left with... unaccomplished mission, lost friends, empty souls.
Big thanks @OmnistarEast for the subtitles in both languages!
Edit: I'd translate the chorus as 'Wish me a good luck in this coming battle. Wish me not to be left on this grassfield" meaning to survive and get home alive.
Почитай историю и причины войны в Афганистане
The British redcoat, the Soviet conscript, the American soldier. 3 different worlds, three different centuries, all swallowing dust in that accursed land...
@@MajesticOakесли бы британцев там не было, и они не лезли туда со своей "Большой игрой", то и СССР тоже бы не зашёл в Афганистан. Имхо.
Опять же, где Афганистан и где остров Великобритании и США?🤷🏼♀️ Надо и нам залезть в Ирландию и в Канаду, навести там бардак
@@VasilyevaEkaterina After thousands of years of warfare and chaos, I'm sure that it was the British who messed up the middle east...
@@VasilyevaEkaterina Those who only ever seek to point out the splinters in others eyes; not caring about the twigs in their own... will go blind first.
I am not here to tell you "west good" and "russia bad" or whatever.
But if you constantly only ever think ALL the problems of this world only and exclusively stem from "the others"...once "the others" are gone; who will you blame when no paradise sets in?
Have a nice day; stay safe.
Holy crap I LOVE this song! Kino is, in my opinion, one of if not the best bands from Russia. They're up there with Molchat Doma. Also may Viktor Tsoi rest in peace.
Edit: NVM. Kino number one! Molchat Doma is still good though.
Molchat doma are Belorussian, aren't they?
@@the_air_ocelot They are, but they sing in Russian.
Molchat doma are up there, close to Kino, not the other way around. Kino is the best Russian band and the original. Molchat doma got influenced by Kino. Molchat doma are awesome, but Kino is always number one !
Soviet band.
@@nickzourb190 Seems to be an oversight on my part. You're right.
Это именно то что мы ждали!)))
Спасибо Вам!)
I've loved this song for years but the archive footage in the back makes it all the more special. Цой жив!
I've had this song stuck in my head for years and I will never pass up an opportunity to listen to this.
Thanks for the upload!
i can't stop listening to this masterpiece. ♥♥♥
I love Кино и Виктор Цой ❤❤❤ Большое спасибо тебе ❤🎉❤
There's so much mid/subpar music from 80s/90s Russia that sounds just like this, but once you realize it's about the wars they fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and beyond, it becomes some of the best music you've ever heard. I love this stuff.
¡ que magnifica canción e increíble canal !saludos camaradas👏
Best regards comrades !!-from korea
Always love KINO music, nice job in making this vid, Comrade Omnistar❤💖👍
Why do you call each other comrade?

Это одна из лучших песен Кино, которые только могли существовать.
I love this song. It’s even better when I drink some vodka on a road trip across state
Thank you Omnistar, for upploading these bangers
you're soon at a well deserved 100k
🎉
Surprised this most iconic song took so long, awesome job as always!
он вернулся! Спасибо за лучшую хронику под замечательные песни)
thank you omni, our family enjoy this music and we share this together. again thank you, wish you the best and hope you keep doing the things you love and sharing this music with us
Dmitry Bivol's entrance last night 🤩love this song now!
Happy 61st brithday viktor tsoi!
HELL YEAH!
I've been waiting for a Gruppa Krovi vid for a while now, KINO is so legendary.
Wait!.. KITE MAN?!
Цой Жив навсегда в наших сердцах!
This song holds a very special place in my heart, thank you for this video😊
Thank you for such great compilations! For me as a Russian, it means a lot.
I love listening to Soviet era songs or post ones since they feel different on what normally I hear as a western person and plus translation truly helps understand the natural vagueness of artists songs. Truly a Vietnam war like war on which the powerful one turns out to be incapable.
🔥Who’s here after Bivol Beterbiev? 👊
Me
Я тут, братан
В бою была ничья, по-моему мнению
who now?
I discovered this on Vladivostok FM and the way Ruslana, the DJ, always introduces this is always in a jolly manner, shouting the words, 'GRUPPA KROVI!' damn I didn't know this was a melancholic song.
Man having this song going to a anime game is wild
lol, I expected this comment when I clicked on "newest"
As expected after saw that trailer
what anime ?
What game
@@FutureGohanGlazer Codename: Cedar
The song that introduced me to Kino, and is probably my favourite song of all time now.
songs and music videos like this makes me feel that i have been there before
Спокойная ночь and Группа Крови are outstanding songs! Kino are in a league of their own - brillant. I will never stop listening.
I couldn’t agree more, and Бошетунмай and Звезда are also great songs!
One again another banger! Another good song by Kino is Star called sun. Love the amazing work Omni
Слава и вечная память Советским воинам-интернационалистам!

love how you wrote Gruppa Krovi with letters. It would have been a dream to have the entire song written in letters :)
when the world needed him most he returned
Probably the most anticipated song of your channel!
Fun Fact: Gruppa Krovi is an anti-war song, and they performed this at the "Special Military Operation" anniversary for some reason

Those Mil-24s protecting that Il-76 is powerful image... It took guts to go against Stingers to protect that aircraft... Maybe it was Black Tulip flight as well... And to have that guitar as background music... ❤ Perfect job editing.
отличный перевод, песня и видео!👍
I've been looking for a well translated music video for this song for a long, long time. Thanks Omnistar.
Excellent, thanks for posting! This might be the best song to come out of that damned war.
Любимая песня моего отца.
Он часто слушал её в 90-е.
Лашкаргах 1984-1986.
how many soldiers saying i just want to stay here with you, ended up in a black tulip...that just breaks my heart so bad!
I'm a big Artur fan but Bivol is warrior and a class act!
Incredible! I waited for this for such a long time! Thank you Omnistar!
Не хочу , чтобы так было ! Не хочу , что- бы , погибали парни всей Земли ! Хочу пожелать , чтобы все были дома , трудились , воспитыаали деток , любили и были любимы ! Мальчики родные ! Хватит воевать ! ❤️❤️❤️ ! ✌️
Agreed
"Я хотел бы остаться с тобой. Просто остаться с тобой".
Такого не бывает всегда есть войны пока есть грех.
НЕ получится... добро должно быть с кулаками...
Everyone of his songs is absolutely incredible
The footage and cuts are just perfect.
My dad introduced Tsoi for me even though I'm only 11 yrs old I love him and always feel like grown up when i listen!!! mi evo lybim!!!!!
fantastic work, as always. Thanks for everything.
Спасибо, брат, за хорошую музыку!
Kino is proof positive that humans can create immaculate and beautiful art even when locked down under oppressive conditions.
They did new wave just as good, if not better than any band that came out of the UK.
Viktor Tsoi was a genius, and that shows in the comment section of this video.
A group of people from all different places in the world, speaking different languages, coming together and saying “this thing slaps”
A big thanks to the channel Bandsplaining for introducing me to Kino!
Ich liebe es das der Text übersetzt ist. Versuche mir russisch bei zu bringen
Glaub mir, das ist nicht so schwer, wie es erscheint.,👍

Не очень хороший выбор,но впринципе можно учиться по песням
Wollen Sie, versuche ich den Text ins Deutsche zu übersetzen und andere Werke von Zoi.
