Named the reason for the popularity of the new video for “Leningrad”

Названа причина популярности нового клипа "Ленинграда"Became known why the clip “In St. Petersburg to drink” so popular.

Journalists of one of Russian media explained the popularity of the recently released video of the rock group “Leningrad “In St. Petersburg to drink” the General trend and sentiment in the society, “when all had enough” and want all to send.

It should be noted that in a few days — and the video “In St. Petersburg to drink” was posted online on Saturday, April 30 — it was watched by over 3.5 million people.

Heroes video — from office clerk to policeman, from the saleswomen to guide — are United by one desire: to send a life to hell. This, of course, not quite Patriotic, but, judging by the number of views, recipe “to prick and be forgotten” for many remains the main strategy of life in Russia, which unites both the government and the people and the intelligentsia.

How often in the songs “Leningrad” and its leader Sergei Shnurov (Cord), it has a lot of Mat and doesn’t make much sense in words, but clearly and cleverly captured the feeling, familiar to many, when “all fed up” and wants only one thing: to send.

Of course, such decadence (and at the same time the propaganda of drug addiction and alcoholism what’s already accused Sergei Shnurov some figures of culture and society) contrasts sharply with the celebratory lift, which demonstrate the Russian regions and individual citizens, as if competing, who more creative than the other will meet on May 9.

But there are some be so creative, that involuntarily thought: do not listen if they are already at the cries of his heroes and exactly you came up with all this sober?

So, for example, the network has been widely discussed video with ten years girl Anya, who allegedly paints the story of the war through the ashes of his grandparents. Later it became known that instead of ashes was used to “synthetic substitute”, but the video itself is an advertisement of the film. But still it is unclear what effect tried to get the producers of the picture. After this promo, where the girl with a finger in the ashes and then draws a crossed out Nazi swastika, the logo of McDonald’s (where we are talking about the postwar famine), especially you know who hit on the throat of desire the clerk of the clip of the “Leningrad” to go to the nearest store with the words: “Vodka. The most expensive. Two”.

Probably, this is the feeling of nausea from life in the mirror lies the success of the new video for “Leningrad”.
