Russian youth in St. Petersburg party to anti-war music Videos circulating on social media show crowds of young Russians singing along to banned anti-war songs — and have already sparked outrage among pro-Kremlin “Z-patriots.” So far, no arrests have been reported. The crowd can be heard chanting lyrics from a song by “foreign agent” rapper Noize MC, which has been labeled “extremist” in Russia for its open call for regime change: “Where were you for eight years, you f***ing monsters?! I wanna watch ballet — let the swans dance!” The “Swan Lake” reference is a powerful symbol in Russia: the ballet was famously broadcast on state TV during times of political upheaval or the death of Soviet leaders.
