Vitas: Mommy and Son.
Today we are listening a Vitas’ song “Mommy and Son”.
Take, baby, mommy’s hand The way to Paradise is still dark, And we shall go with you together straight ahead, My care is necessary to you there! I’m scared, mommy! Go, baby, quietly, I’m with you, I’m scared, mommy! Now I ask you not to cry, mommy, Memory will keep your image, mommy! I’m scared, mommy! |
Возьми, малыш, скорее руку мамы, Дорога в Рай пока ещё темна,- И мы пойдём с тобою вместе прямо,- Тебе забота Там моя нужна! Мне страшно, мама! Иди, малыш, спокойно, я с тобою, Мне страшно, мама! Теперь тебя прошу не плакать, мама, Твой образ, мама, Память сохранит! Мне страшно, мама! |

Valentina Tolkunova: "I can not do otherwise"
The singer passed away on March 22 in a hospital. She had fallen very ill lately, but until the very end she continued singing – because she “could not do otherwise”.
People called you The Soul of Russian song. Her intimate gentle voice and soft chamber intonations, songs what she sang was close to all Russian women…
And like in these words “I can not do otherwise” Valentina Tolkunova always gave the audiences all she lived for – love, tenderness and frankness.
“I will love you always
I can not do otherwise…”
Rest in peace, Valentina.

Russian Video: Blockade of Leningrad Started 68 Years Ago!
Leningrad remembers its Heroes!
Today you could hear sound of metronome and the wail of the sirens in St.Petersburg. Leningrad remembers the Blockade – 900 days and nights of artillery attacks and terrible starvation. A worker got 250 grams of bread a day all others got twice less. Leningrad outstayed but the price was incredible. There were more than 500 000 people buried only on Peskarevsky cemetery…
Sound of metronome is symbol of the Blockade of Leningrad – metronome sounded during the Blockade 24 hours a day on the radio. The siren wailed 3740 times during the blockade.
Today we are watching Day of Memory from St.Petersburg:
Read more about the Blockade of Leningrad in Wikipedia or an article “Seige of Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad) 1941-1944” (From Neva News).
