This is one of my favourite finnish songs. Leningrad cowboys are just so best !

[@poet1972]

Great songwriting. Guitar solo is outstanding. CCCP?Finland? Rock?Metal? Doesn‘t matter, in the end we‘re all rockin’ cowboys.

Leningrad Cowboys on kyllä helvetin kovaa kamaa :D Tulee mahtava fiilis kun kuuntelee näitä.

[@MotorSystem]

Jore Marjaranta was the greatest singer of the Leningrad Cowboys. He would never get so far in his own career if he would'nt be a singer of LC.

[@seriousspears]

the footage of the Russian revolution gives me goosebumps. amazing.

[@JohnnyJoe]

So long, so very long, so long since I've seen my hometown I'm coming home. Now I'm coming home. I'm coming home. To the place I call my own. You're in my soul. I can't explain how much you mean to me.

This is not satire, this is not just nostalgia, this is not some praise of the USSR: This is simply remembrance of a foregone past for which some people had high hopes but that suddenly just disappeared. A good song like this but in a more modern, pop like fashion is "building blocks" (The Tetris song)...same thing there.

[@tigerpenguin6274]

What song are u talking about?

[@ActionableFreedom]

@@tigerpenguin6274 Google "Tetris song Russian history"

[@Mammathus]

Growing up in the "Cold War" in the USA I have been delighted by every song I'ved viewed by this group. However, this song made me weep. Satire? I have never found mass extermination much of a satirical topic. The Lenigrad Cowboys are the best at what they do. Thank you guys!!! And much thanks to commentor who wrote "even Stalin died under Stalin."

[@LeningradVesnushka]

A stunningly beautiful and heartfelt song! It tears the soul! The best Rock song is about what the loyal Leningraders felt in the early 90s. And it's just amazing that the Finns wrote this song, so subtly and accurately conveying that anguish. I, as a Leningrader and an old metalhead, thank the Leningrad Cowboys band for this song, for the album Go Space, and for their creativity in general! Bravo and thank you! 👏🏻✊🏻🤝🏻😊🤘🏻

Is been a few years since discovering this incredible song, but I got to say, now at the end of 2022- Christmas- I look at it in a whole different light. Is this the future of the USA ? Shook me to the core.

[@MsMorko]

If you don't know history, you can't understand the present and future. So if this music gets someone to learn something, it has more than fulfilled its aim, not just entertainment. Besides, this is a beautiful song! Hello to Piter from your friendly neighbours!

[@LanzmanJan]

Beautiful Song!

[@sledheadjd]

I disagree about it being about the Revolution of 1917. The city of St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Peter the 1st as a new capital city. The city was also known as Petrograd from 1914 to 1924. But the name Leningrad was officially adopted by the new communist government from 1924 until 91. So...saying "give me back my Leningrad" is in reference to it being changed back to its original name of St. Petersburg in 91. As far as what the song means.. i have no idea. Just a little history les.

[@U1957FIN]

Luthien, the sad tone in the song and the true film material are about sympathy towards the suffering neighbors. The people in Russia have suffered a lot under its emperors, communism and many will definitely suffer under Mr. Putin, too. Leningrad Cowboys is a satire comedy rock band from Finland founded in 1986 when the again and again very unpleasantly acting neighbor was called the Soviet Union.

[@santzia]

The pictures are from during WW2. When Leningrad was cut off from the rest of Russia by German troops. They resorted to cannibalism due to not being able to find any food. This song always makes me tear eyed.

[@AlexCSharp]

Many of them not from WW2, it's around october revolution of 1917 mostly, +-.

[@MrPing1000]

Pretty sure it's Jore Marjaranta, def the best singer they've had.

[@bentonjennings]

Well..actually the Leningrad Cowboys are from Finland. The band was born out of a Finnish comedy movie made over 15 years ago called Leningrad Cowboys Go America. The members have changed over the years but still carry on the same concept: great music in a comedic mode. The video and song are in that same venue - it is a parody.

[@BarbaricWarchief]

I might not like the song itself that much, but that solo is fucking KILLER!

[@MEGAbassa]

AWESOME SONG!!!

[@TheHanswurstl]

@kayjay83 I think it is about the feelings of someone coming back to his hometown St. Petersburg after the fall of the iron curtain in the early 1990´s only knowing the city past (his Leningrad) and finding something completely diffrent.

[@bentonjennings]

It is sad that this needs to be reminded to a large number who view this -- the video is by the Leningrad Cowboys, a Finnish rock-comedy band who began life with the comedic Finnish film, "Leningrad Cowboys Go America". This video is a satirical/comedic analogy. It is bloody good musically, but still -- it is SATIRE.

[@ToniRuottu]

It has layers.

Very good song=) I think Finns has good guitarists =)

[@darkopjevac4590]

Love song about a city. Nothing wrong with that. City is not just buildings and roads - people make city. Leningrad

[@Mikey84]

Yes, yes, I know. The reason why they became famous was the co-operation with Red Army which started in the 1990s. Before this they were quite unknown. Sorry if I was not exact enough in my post, since this is what I meant for saying "unknown band". And I live in Finland, so I know exactly it's location in Europe :)

[@jakub8094]

2:59-3:11 Is it event named "Bloody Sunday" from years 1905?

[@basicplace]

Perfect song, perfect satire! This song made me cry, and laugh!

[@marko1263]

it is not satire

[@SKrox24]

us cold war children do miss the cold war status quo. Leningrad was part of it for Russian. No satire there.
