I’ve recently discovered those on YT and can’t stop listening. Some of them I remember from my childhood, some are from films or even cartoons, many were completely new to me. I’m so happy to see positive reactions in comments, clearly a lot of Soviet music stood the test of time and still resonates with people around the world. It’s so refreshing to hear many different languages, some I speak or can at least recognise, and some I can’t place at all. I love how while clearly Western-influenced, the music sounds distinct and unique, using a lot of folk elements and harmonies native to various Soviet block peoples. Enjoy!

Bonus: here are 11 radio mixes by Funked Up East, thank you for the suggestion OrnluWolfjarl!
