Oleg Gazmanov – Forward Russia (Вперёд, Россия!)

Oleg Gazmanov (= Олег Газманов, 1951) loves Russia and doesn’t hide it. This makes him both friends and enemies, but that won’t stop Oleg Gazmanov: Чем выше давление, the higher the pressure, тем крепче бетон, the stronger the concrete.

Hackers

According to the description of Вперёд, Россия! (Forward Russia), the clip о Величии России, about the greatness of Russia, was removed by hackers. Gazmanov’s website was also hacked. Значит, он кого-то настолько сильно задел, meaning it must have hit someone hard.

The law of Gazmanov: Песни, связанные с мощью Державы, songs related to the power of the Nation, надо продвигать всей страной, should be promoted across the entire country.

Fire and strength

Promotion in the form of embedding was not possible. However, other performances were allowed and have not yet been hacked.

Россия, Россия – в этом слове огонь и сила: Russia, Russia – in that word there is fire and strength. Lyrics available at Lyricstranslate and Musixmatch, and see clip 2. In the third clip, Gazmanov has brought friends along.
