So, Ligeti is a bunny?

Fascinating review. So, according to this article, NSK was founded in 1980 in Trbovlje. Aye. And ŠKUC gallery was behind the premiere DDT event... oh dear; there are so many details delivered in this review that it seems mysterious how the author could have confused such key elements in Laibach history. Well, always learning something new and surprising....

Yeah!

Adding Kyiv to this post makes absolutely no sense since that concert was scheduled for 31 March, not 22 April.

it's Kiev, not Kyiv)

Skopje?

Still upset about Kyiv?Who writes your posts?A vindictive teenager?

Why the change of plan?

Damn! What is the matter?

How much putin pay your pr managers?

Get over it already! 🙄

This article is nothing but a hack job of dog whistling, propaganda, lies and inaccuracies.

Hmmmm, interesting. Nothing is driving the "Ukrainisation" of Ukraine (bizarre that this should be seen as somewhat controversial considering the centuries of "Russification of Ukraine") more than the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which still believes that anyone who speaks Russian is essentially a Russian and not a Ukrainian who grew up in a time where Russia pushed the Russification of the Soviet Union. Mentioning Pushkin, who held a particular distain for Ukrainians that is still widely present in modern day Russia, as some sort of victim of "culture wars" between Ukrainian nationalists and Russian culture also shows ignorance on how Russia, again for centuries, has enforced Russian culture on Ukraine to the detriment of Ukrainian artists and Ukrainian culture. Someone pro-Russian, who has commented on this page in the last few days, described Ukrainians as illiterate and therefore incapable of producing artists and culture on the same level as Russia. Ironically he said this to a Ukrainian working for the BBC. The term "Russophobia" came into use by Russia's state propaganda machine upset that the world dared to criticise Russia for beating up on a smaller neighbouring country. There is no "phobia", a fear of the unknown, combined with Russia in Ukraine, they know from previous Russian genocides what to expect from Russia and Russia certainly confirmed in Bucha and other Ukrainian territory they have occupied, that they have not changed their approach. Russia still uses torture, rape and mass murder of Ukrainians to conquer territory. So this is not any fear of something unknown at all. Russia has very few historical links with Ukraine as Moscow emerged after centuries of Mongolian occupation to start calling itself Russia. Putin likes to play on "Kyivan Rus" to claim that Ukraine is really just ancient Russia, but that is not correct and Putin is a mafia thug and former KGB, not a historian. It's also not "the destruction of cultural heritage and symbols" to remove these Russian monuments and street names because Russian culture is not a Ukrainian heritage. Russia and Ukraine are two very different countries and no amount of trying to Russify Ukraine has ever changed that. And it's not "Russophobia" that has led Ukrainians to remove statues of Russian rulers, generals and artists and rename streets, it's the decolonisation of Ukraine because Russia has named streets and erected statues in favour of Russians over Ukrainians. And of course the author could not resist to mention Stepan Bandera and Roman Shuhevich, despite the fact that Ukraine is not short of artistic talents and heroes other than these two, who are mostly revered for their fight against Russian oppression rather than their political views. But Russia loves mentioning Bandera because he gives them a convenient excuse for "denazification". Anyone who supports an independent Ukrainian nation is automatically labelled as a "Banderite" by pro-Russians. That includes Laibach as they have made it quite clear that they oppose Russian aggression in Ukraine and support the people of Ukraine. They are now also "Banderites" in the eyes of those who see any support of Ukraine as supporting ethnic nationalism. Congratulations, Laibach! At least that should illustrate just how ridiculous Russia's victim playing is. Anyone not siding with Russia in this barbaric war is a Nazi according to Russia. I would love to see more of "Laibach thinking from their heads", but based on historical facts, not based on Russia propaganda that sees Russians as some poor victims who had no choice but to lash out against Ukraine. Ukraine's history is widely available to read up on and it might be a real eye opener to many people in the former Yugoslavia as well as elsewhere.

it has become better

Odličan članak. Sada je najbitnije što brže imenovati sve Ruse koji to zapravo nisu. Pa kakve veze i sa čim ima to što je Tolstoj Rus, a Čajkovski i Bulgakov možda i nisu? Kakve veze Goethe, Schiller ili Rilke imaju sa Schicklgruberom? Bilo bi zanimljivo da svima nama gurnu štapić u untrašnjost obraza i pošalju rezultat analize na papiru. Možda bi se onda svijet konačno smirio.

Up with Nova Akropola and Krst pod Triglavom, I'd say.

One of the best albums ...👍👍👍
