Thumbs down Belomorkanal (Russian: Беломорканал)

This thread is not a promotion of cigaretes using

Sometimes even a simple objects like this have their historical depresing context



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belomorkanal


Polish Music video about Belomorkanal cigaretes song from 1985 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut3QIoNF-ww

translation of song text to english:
Jan Krzysztof Kelus - Cigarettes Belomor-Kanal (1985)

Quote:
(ref intentionaly in Russian)

Białomor eta prosta papiros

kak Philip Morris - eta prosta sigariet

na puti na żizniennoj wstrieczajetsja

s czieławiekam czieławiek




Here's the script for the song:

so the attic - for lack of a villa,

my wife, some vodka

two lefties: Heinz and Willy



Someone sent them here with a letter

- They can spend the night -

and as usual at dinner

same conversation



of course Solzhenitsyn

and there's a pause in the conversation...

- Willy says - it's for him

he is rotten conservatists



Light Willy Belomor

I have a whole cardboard of them

you might want to show it

fellow lefties?


Heinz, don't you understand anything either

he's looking at the package

finally he say: - "very cheap,

just zwei und zwanzig"



Yes, Heinz, the White Sea Canal

- there's nothing to be afraid of -

died so badly there

half a million people



Say Willy - as German

you'd probably faint

paying for "Auschwitz with a filter"

brand one Mark and Pfening



light a Belomor Willy

and think calmly

- who really won in the end

this last war?



(ref intentionaly in Russian)

Białomor eta prosta papiros

kak Philip Morris - eta prosta sigariet

na puti na żizniennoj wstrieczajetsja

s czieławiekam czieławiek
