Red Army Chorus

I was fortunate enough to attend a performance of the Red Army Song & Dance Ensemble at the Shrine Auditorium. In spite of the pickets, I enjoyed the entire presentation more than anything I have seen in ages.

Tremendous, to say the least!

Glasnost not to be excluded, however, I found it incredulous that the program began with “The Star-Spangled Banner” and concluded with “God Bless America” while slipping in a song in the middle titled “Do the Russians Want War?” Attempted partially in English no less.

Who is trying to tell me what?
