Arkadiy Kots Band — Who Shoots At Workers

this russian band is named after a 20th C socialist poet.  one of the members, kirill medvedev [the dude on banjo], is a well-known poet & political activist who famously gave up the copyrights to his works in 2004.  the lyrics, penned by medvedev, are helpfully supplied by a person in the comments section.  but you can get the drift of meaning from the title of the song & the speed of the tempo.  the band, & the tune, may remind you a little of billy bragg & the pogues.  well, it does for me.  however, if we struggle with art & meaning in the united states of this young century, it is instructive & heartening to see how russian poets, musicians, artists et al. have been doing all this while.  

peace & love
