I've been colluding with the Russians to find the best Russian-themed songs and videos on YouTube, and this is one of my all-time favourite videos from the Stalin era, because I'm just a Soul Man at heart.
Rotary Connection - Magical World (featuring Minnie Riperton)

You might recognise the patriotic music from this stirring song.....

Of course you'll be a fan of Renaissance's "Mother Russia."
How bout the awesome music and hilarious titles of Farmers Market's 2008 masterpiece, Surfin' USSR?

^ Great choice, Greg, but for some reason, I thought you were going to post "From Russia with Love" by Matt Monro.

^ I am surprised that didn't come to mind, I love "From Russia with Love" and I am a big Bond guy.

Video removed for space. One of my more modern favourites. Well worth looking up more, if you're not familiar, imho.

Your previous avatar with Sean Connery looking like a member of the Village People in the movie "Zardoz", gave me a hint that you might be a James Bond fan.

Sorry, but I can't resist posting this:

^ "I've Seen That Movie Too", but nothing quite like that before. That was an hilarious mash-up of two movies in one.

Music aside, one of a few western mass culture clips where the post-Stalin USSR and its external policy were shown correctly (IMO):

I only discovered that old Randy Newman video today. It's from a bygone era and the video may have looked a bit different if he'd recorded it now. It's a reminder of how things used to be when the world was a relatively more peaceful place.

It's better than Phoney Phlegm's "Rah Rah Rah Putin (Leader of the Russian Regime)".
There lives a certain man in Russia don't ya know? He is short and strong, in his eyes, a blaming glow Most people look at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks, he's lovely as a diaper smear
Rah, Rah, Rah Putin, leader of the Russian regime There was a brat that really was gone Rah, Rah, Rah Putin, Russia's greatest shove machine It was a shame how he carried on (on, on)
Veering too into political waters here.
