Firstly, as a Russian this is some sweet, sweet alternate history for me. I love this AAR.
But this is Katyusha, my friend, so it is a Russian song, that is loved amongst communists :). I would not just add a random song
It's terrible. The accent is jarring and fails to capture the catchy tune the original has. Stalin is not happy with you comrade.

Looks like it's Gulag time!

If anyone says a Russian march is good while rendered terribly to the point where it sounds Japanese... you get more then gulag.
Kamchatkan gulag?
 
Wrong, Polish mass graves! Or Ukrainian ones... or Russian ones... or Georgian ones... anyway, you get shot for seditious behavior and treason against the glorious USSR!
Darn! I should have guessed it would involve massacring the Polish: The favorite pastime of Eastern and Central Europeans for over a century. Though to be fair to the song, it is from an anime and thus performed by Japanese people, so I don't know how much that alleviates how un-Russian it sounded since I don't speak Russian.
 
1. You are a bit too harsh here, the song is lovely.
2. I have spoken to Russians before so I can safely claim that the pronounciation is solid. My congratulations to the girls for their singing(at least the brown-haired one, the blondie can get a bit annoying after a while).

I... damn it, I don't want to doubt you, but... are you really, really sure? Because to me, the pronunciation is very poor (though their voices are actually quite good) and barely resembles the true song. Just compare the two.

It is not perfect, as they should pronounce a bit softer at times, but overall solid. Once we add the fact that Japanese girls are singing this, I have to congratulate them for singing as proficiently as they do. Of course, they are not native Russians so errors will appear at times

They should pronounce words entirely differently!

Anyway, I feel like we're being carried away... ahem, when will the next update arrive?

With the reunification of Germany, victories against Switzerland, Sweden and Norway and liberation of Brittany, Corsica and Catalonia, Europe is now a Communist continent. The Soviet advances seem to be unstoppable, and colonies across the world are freed.
