Sabaton - "Defence of Moscow" | ROADIE REACTIONS

"I feel proud for being russian, but i'm not russian" That's the Sabaton-Effect: You feel Patriotism for a foreign country

exactly

That second part of the solo is actually a part of the soviet/russian anthem, thats why it sounds so patriotic

[@TheRealmBetween]

Yes! I didn't realize until now why that part sounded so familiar!... is it true that the Russian anthem has a line saying "the police runs in teams" or something like that?

[@dixon2880]

@@TheRealmBetween Nope. I'm russian and there is nothing about police in our anthem

[@eves1503]

@@TheRealmBetween nothing about the police. The text is mainly about how vast and beautiful the country is and how proud we are of it because it’s the one and only, it is our home. The Soviet anthem, on the other hand, had a lot of references to communism, the will of the Soviet people to build the better future for themselves, the Soviet victories and stuff like that. But still nothing about the police. Music was exactly the same. Fun fact: the same poet wrote the words to both the Soviet (1943 and 1977 versions) and the Russian anthems (2001 version). Another fun fact is the Russian anthem is a complete song. It has three verses and three choruses.

[@tntfreddan3138]

@@eves1503 That's a nice touch, to have your national anthem an actual fully fledged song. In Sweden we actually don't have an official national anthem but when we sing "Du Gamla Du Fria" we usually only sing the first two verses and choruses. Those are the two original parts. The song isn't really about Sweden as it isn't mentioned in the first two parts, but only in the 4th part which was added in 1910 (Song was originally written in 1844). This is why the Polish national anthem is the only anthem in the world which actually mentions Sweden.

[@eves1503]

@@tntfreddan3138 so during the olympics, if a Swedish person is on the podium, they play that song? How interesting! I just listened to it and it’s so relaxing and hauntingly beautiful 😎And yeah, the entire Russian anthem is roughly 4 minutes long and they play a small part of it during sporting events.

Less and less veterans of WWII, and less and less people aware what a nightmare, horror and tragedy was that war. Almost all soldiers recruited before the battle for Moscow died. They were unprepared and almost unequipped. They stopped Nazis by the cost of their lives. The consequences of WWII felt for people of USSR/Russia till the end of the century. Practically all families had dead or injured members. I went to the gatherings of veterans with my grandmother. You had to see how they treated each other - brothers in arms who faced the death together. For them The Victory day was a day to remember the fallen fellow soldiers, the day of Sorrow.

"......and then Joakim is rocking the aviators as always, that's all I really know about his gear sooooo" - got me good Tank XD Can I suggest 'A Ghost in the Trenches' and 'Devil Dogs' for your future reactions? Both are not only really cool songs, but as usual the history behind the two are intriguing, with a Ghost in the Trenches in particular having a fascinating story of which I'm sure you'll watch the Sabaton History episode about afterwards!

Damn everytime i hear that song and watch the video i feel so patriotic and i remember my debt to Russia. I feel like a huge energy inside me like nothing can stop me.

[@melka_r7402]

Thanks for your reaction, friend! I love this song from radio tapok and from Sabaton!

[@refriggg]

The second part of the solo sounds so patriotic because it's soviet anthem.

[@AHVENAN]

You can actually buy exact copies of Joakims aviators in their merch store, or atleast you used to be able too, I have a pair on my bookshelf. I think it would be cool if you got a pair for yourself and did the intro to Sabaton saturday videos wearing them, think they would suit you quite well!

[@TankTheTech]

Good to know!

[@chaorazul_4477]

Came home from working in our forest, tired, back hurting and sweaty but still watching your reaction before taking a shower😂

[@asmodean26]

Yes. Indeed. It also shows that we are all equal and that we should be proud however we are.

I am Latvian, brought up in the Soviet Union, and that's why I probably like version of Radio Tapok better. It reminds me of films about war I saw during my childhood. Not those meant for children, because those were terrible, but films about ordinary humans thrown in the war.

[@ievazagante5527]

We were taught only about Soviet Union (omitting the part of being allies with Germany). And US? Well, they dropped two atom bombs on Japan, and that was bad, though Japan deserved it - that was all I had learned till the last two years of high school. By then it was Awakening and we had got really good teacher. He taught of Latvia, however, since Latvians regularly managed to get involved into all kind of struggles for power, we also learned a lot about history of the World.

Hi there! Awesome video and reaction. 10.35 near Moscow, Klin is my native town. Was under occupation for a month. Still 2000-s at my grandfathers’ farm found a lot of echo of war, like helmets, chambers, some parts of weapon.

[@LeeAndergen]

Any new Sabaton song is the favourite

[@nunogarces1628]
