The world seems to look a good deal better through rose-tinted glasses — and Schmyt and Cro know it too. On their new single, the pair are buoyed by love and therefore find that "Alles anders (weniger im Arsch)" — everything is different (less of a mess).
It surely must be so, when you are in love with such an enchanting creature as Elina Vildanova:
"Her heart is as big as Russia"
We read online how Schmyt fans wrote that the timing for this line was poor. We are reminded of the McCarthy era in the United States.
Back then, people in the United States of America were persecuted for failing to distance themselves publicly from communism. Such conduct takes an axe to the founding values of a free democracy.
We do not support any blanket distancing from Russian artists; we love Russian literature, the music, the films and the Russian soul!
