Sasha Rosenbaum's submarine song is way better, in fact--it is on the other plane altogether. I guess Russian submariners deserve better than this tru-la-la piece of crap.

    In my opinion every military or military related songs after early 60 were utter ****.


    deserve better than this tru-la-la piece of crap.

    And lol at the lyrics of that song. Hahahaha....
    In USSR--yes, for the most part. Although I heard some pretty nice metal song The Nuclear Response (Otvetny Udar) by one Belorussian local band. But after Crimson Tide and Hans Zimmer's outstanding soundtrack to it the bar was raised really high.

    WHAT? Here's proof your opinion is invalid. 8)







    Also, just for the lulz, a cheesy song about Delta IV submarines.

    I never heard the first one. The second one is i'm pretty sure from the 40's or 30's.

    With the third I stand corrected though. Completely forgot about that one.

    Looking for some pictures of the Saiga in the field or on an operation...is there a way to filter a thread to find specific posts by type or do I need to go through all 2,500+ responses? : ) Thanks for the help, sorry in advance for a knuckleheaded question.

    Du-u-u-ude, are you sure you're not a Glavpur drone? But then. even them usually would know what they're speaking about, which you seemingly don't. "Avtonomka" is just a Navy parlance for any long away-from-base deployment, so the (admittedly crappy) show has absolutely nothing to do with the website, which is dedicated to collecting and preserving the submariners lore, including their folk songs -- one of which is used in the flick, BTW. And you definitely need to check your sense of humor, it looks to be lacking somewhat. Do you seriously expect the submariners to keep the grave and solemn faces, and be filled with pathos 24/7? The song is a cute little 80-es-vintage parody, lampooning both the period's cheesy Soviet pop and cringingly pathetic (in both senses) Cold War-era "patriotic" songs, managing to insert a satyrical reference to the (then already) small salaries of the officers along the way. True, it's somewhat lowbrow, but when military humor ever got to be a paragon of sophistication?
