Various - Pojut Sovetskie Školniki

Review by Missy Lundeen

Pojut Sovetskie Školniki is a compilation album featuring various Soviet schoolchildren singing patriotic songs. The album evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when Soviet propaganda was pervasive and children were taught to love their country above all else.

The album opens with the classic song "Kalinka", which is sung with enthusiasm by a group of young girls. The album continues with other well-known Soviet tunes, such as "The Red Army is the Strongest" and "The Internationale".

While the quality of the recordings is not always perfect, the sincerity and passion of the young singers is undeniable. The album is a testament to the power of music to inspire and unite people, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Summary by Missy Lundeen

Pojut Sovetskie Školniki is a fascinating snapshot of Soviet culture in the mid-20th century. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Soviet music and propaganda, as well as those who simply enjoy hearing the voices of young people singing with joy and conviction.
