• Москва слезам не верит.
[ maskva slizam ne verit ]
Moscow doesn't believe in tears.

🔻This expression is actually Russian; it arose during the rise of the Moscow principality, when large tribute was collected from other cities and principalities. Cities sent petitioners to Moscow with complaints of injustice. Such petitioners were often punished extremely cruelly in order to intimidate the dissatisfied.

🔻In 1980 a film with this tittle was short by Mosfilm. It  became one of the most popular films of the time!

⏺You can watch it either with Russian or English subtitles. 👇

🔻Wedding in Malinovka is a 1967 Soviet musical comedy film directed by Andrei Tutyshkin.

🔻The movie takes place during Russia’s civil war between the Reds (Bolsheviks) and the Whites (Mensheviks).

Andrejka and Yarinka are a young betrothed couple in the village of Malinovka, caught between the battle lines.

Gritsian is the leader of a Menshevik band who are planning to attack the village. Yarinka appeals to the local Bolshevik commander for his faction’s help.

The Bolsheviks quickly come up with a plan to save the village… but the plan requires Yarinka to enter into a pretend marriage with Gritsian.

• Нам нужна одна победа
  [nam nuzh-na ad-na pa-be-da]
SLT: We Need Only Victory

🔻One of the most appealing songs about the Great Patriotic War, 'Нам нужна одна победа' which turned out to be very actual nowadays, was written by the poet and composer Bulat Okudzhava for Andrei Smirnov’s film 'Белорусский Вокзал' (Belorussky Station), which was released in 1971.

🔻The All-Russian musical project "Музыка вместе" sang this song with the military personnel involved in the special military operation, as well as with the residents of the new regions reunited with Russia (Donetsk, Lugansk,  Khersonskaya and Zaporozhskaya Regions).

🔻Listen, learn new words, practice and sing along.

📎 In the video I've added the approximate translation of the song:
1 line is in Russian
2 line is phonetic transliteration
3 line is in English
