ROCK CALENDAR: April 22, 1870-the coolest rocker of the 20th century was born - V. I. Lenin

What has made this talented lad from the provinces – the unbelievable and unimaginable. With art (and music), he touched only the edge, but it was born a new genre (or type, or type, or class) – socialist realism. But, thank God, the most important of arts all -??? was movies. What is interesting – they were born and developed almost simultaneously-American jazz and socialist realism. Surely, if you dig, there are similarities, but the question here is not about that.

Organizer and artistic Director of the collective "Bolsheviks", VI Lenin won (in the literal sense of the word) popularity among the population, first of Russia, and then the entire progressive humanity. The main musical composition of this collective – "international" - periodically took the top positions in a hit parade of many countries of the world and at V. I. Lenin's life didn't leave the first drain of a hit parade of Russia.

With the work of this human population is familiar from school – I remember in primary school were held on this day the school-wide ruler, and we lost the discs with recordings of his speeches (such as "speech at the Congress of the Komsomol") and we liked. At least that's what we thought.

After his death, he led a team for a very long time kept in the top lines of the hitparade performing endless covers of his works, especially since they had no real competition, the team received the status of "state". It went this way then also became popular ensembles "Pesnyary" (to repeat a creative way their senior colleagues) and "Yalla". Therefore, they are not afraid of competition and do not perform anything new.

As an illustration-video from Yu-tube. The song "Revolution", inspired by the ideas of this great, though ambiguous figure.
