Visotsky - SOS

This week I am posting the "Spasite nashi dushi" - SOS song, which is one of his most famous. I am adding the Sergei Borisenko's comment from Youtube, because I like:
This song is Visotsky's view on war. A submarine surrounded by underwater mines unable to surface, unable to get air and all of its crew bagging for someone to save them from suffocation. He is a gibbous to show his view on war through such a story.

Tuesday, September 4, 2007
