“Kon’” (“The Horse”) or better known as “Vyydu noch'yu v pole s konem” (“ I’ll go out at night to the field with the horse”) is a very popular Russian song. Many people believe that this is some old folk song. Surprisingly it isn’t. The text was written in 1993 by Alexander Shaganov and the music by Igor Matvienko for the Russian band “Lyube”.
In this case it’s a good example of recreating Russian traditional musical motives. I post here the performance of the Kuban Cossack choir which I like best of all but there are different versions of it (including the original).
I have a request, could you maybe make a post explaining the "Stolpersteine" that are in many places in Germany by now? They are my favourite thing about Germany dealing with its history and I want people to know about them because it is something I always pay attention to whenever I see them :)
A Stolperstein (literally “stumbling stone”) is a type of monument created by artist Gunter Demnig in 1992 to commemorate victims of Nazi oppression, including the Holocaust. Stolpersteine are small, cobblestone-sized memorials for individual victims of Nazism. They commemorate individuals who were consigned by the Nazis to prisons, euthanasia facilities, sterilization clinics, concentration camps, andextermination camps, as well as those who responded to persecution by emigrating or committing suicide.
While the vast majority of Stolpersteine commemorate Jewish victims of the Holocaust, others have been placed for Sinti and Romani people, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, black people, Christians (both Protestants and Catholics) opposed to the Nazis, members of the Communist Party and the anti-Nazi Resistance, military deserters, and the physically and mentally disabled.
The list of places that have Stolpersteine now extends to several countries and hundreds of cities and towns. As of 20 August 2014, over 48,000 Stolpersteine have been laid in 18 countries in Europe, making the project the world’s largest.
Winged Nosk doesn't look like much of an intimidating fight but the context is so good. The bosses in the Pantheon of Hallownest are set in a slightly different order than the previous ones so you just skip Nosk's original placement.
"huh where is it?" You may ask if you were expecting Nosk.
By the time you've beaten Uumuu, you've probably forgotten the missing Nosk. You enter a darker arena and see Hornet. Which makes sense because she's usually after Uumuu and before Sly.
"Oh is this another upgraded fight like Sisters of Battle?"
Neck snapping sound.
Oh.
And the real boss fight begins.
