A History of the Soviet Union

Set the the Tetris theme (which is, incidentally, Russian folk music.)

This is really, really interesting.

*grinz* Did you gank that from my post here? I seem to recall posting the Immanuel Kant Song to you some while back.

EDIT: Ah no, I see yours is set to clips from Animal Farm - I hadn't realized that had been made into an animated feature. The video I'd posted was this one.

There seems to be a bunch of these - yours has the different outro and a slightly different verse or two.

I didn't actually listen to it when you first posted it - although I remember the Kant song, so I'm sure I at least *saw* the title in your post :P

-hugs- Hope things are good. I need to get around to responding to your other comments.

*hugs back* Things are good here - I just joined the Democratic Party yesterday, at a 5-hour meeting to elect new officers for our county chapter. Don't feel bad, because I have more than 50 comments I haven't responded to, some of which must be yours.

Hope things are good for you as well - have you got snow? *sigh* How I miss the white Christmases back East, even after so long away. We've got snow on the mountains, and it's lovely, but we'll be lucky if we get any at all down here - last year we didn't; not even snow flurries.

LOL, my daughter is delighted to be in Santa Monica where there is no chance of even frost all winter, let alone snow or Seattle-style sleet. She's loathed the cold and wet all her life. So strange: I moved from California to New Jersey when I was 9, and fell in love with snow. I can't stay indoors when it's falling, day or night; I have to go frolic in it.

We had no snow until tonight, really - we had a few flakes maybe last week, but they didn't stick for long. Tonight and tomorrow will bring some supposedly more permanent accumulation. I guess we'll find out.

I really do like the snow, too - I just hate driving in it. Working in the winter around here is god awful because it often means long commutes in bad weather. Vehicles (and repairs) aren't cheap and every day is nerve wracking...not to mention commutes taking twice as long as normal. Winter is exhausting for those reasons, I guess - at least it always has been in my experience.

I wouldn't mind warmer weather all the time, I guess, but I also think I would miss the seasons. There's something about nature being a time keeper that's quite comforting.
