State-sanctioned entertainment in totalitarian regimes has always come off as waking nightmares for the truly captive segments of the audience, but I expect even much more so for the unfortunate career entertainers – artists (freedom-loving almost by definition) – who are corralled in and forced not only to eat shit… but smile while doing so. Poor fucking bastards.

All that bow image brings to mind to those watching from the outside is “Russian warship, go f*ck yourself!”. The same can be said for this cringeworthy fascist spectacle.

For all their expertise at propaganda, fascist cultural authorities are usually tone deaf when it comes to attempts to entertain.
This TV special is an almost textbook example of the Russian concept of poshlost’.
