Last time I played Takovo Kak Putin (He Must be Like Putin) by Poyushie
Vmeste. I played it because it contributes to our understanding of the
revival of the personality cult in Russia, is proof that it exists, and
is catchy and ridiculous at the same time. It is also significant
because people are now capitalizing on the personality cult of an
authoritarian leader at the same time that the opposite could not be
true: you could not have a song that says "he must NOT be like Putin."
The song is completely shameful and from a democratization standpoint
extremely worrying.
