I speak the Russian
But I didn't understand it all. VDV, which they are promoting, are the Russian Airborne Troops. The spend some of their time prancing about Moscow in stripey jackets and playing in fountains. Two of them jumped the queue for a bus I was waiting for once. I decided not to comment, for fear of being beaten up.
I think I recognise the geezer who's singing. He's no paratrooper, just a pop singer. The fraud.
The chorus:
VDV - Hello, from the sky! An ultramarine tilted beret.
Tunic? with epaulettes with a wave and the sea
Forever landing troops will be engaged to the sky.
VDV - How many victories? From the parachutes a white bouquet.
The canopies are soaring with the rainbow of peace
Glory to the landing troops:
Honour and praise! [this sounds like "chest heave for all!"]
