I wonder how hard would it be to make a heavy metal band to steal songs of #russian bands which have always been OK but got partially wrecked by #russism and now should be cancelled.
Examples: #Ария and #НаутилусПомпилиус. Of course, the latter doesn't exist anymore, but #butusov still gets money from #Spotify streams.
For me, some of their songs is exactly the reason why I grew up as a principled individual who stands for freedom and liberty. A lot of their stuff was anti-authoritarian.
The fact that some of the people involved ended up slaves to the evil force (see what I did there?), however, makes it seem that we understood what they were singing about better than themselves.
