The best video you'll see all day

Queen shit

My two favorite parts are the part where one of them is doing the Soviet documentary narrator voice and the cat lying on the couch.

@bannedcornczar it it from soviet times or modern times? i assumed modern, tho they do say 'comrade'

@bannedcornczar The video is from 2019. The "comrade" part is from when she's doing the Soviet documentary narrator voice

I burst out laughing at this part.

children when their parents are fighting

I have Russian neighbors who talk like this all the time (no idea what about; can't understand them) and I genuinely can't tell if they're arguing or having a great time. Maybe both.

Are these real subtitles? lmao

Yep

Lmaoooooo

I just love seeing people passionate about something having a lively debate.

A message from the granddaughter of two of the people in the video, Emil Finkelshtein and Ella Fradkina.

Emil Finkelstein and his granddaughter are on Twitter at @muzikoded. They have more videos!

My favorite part is how the YouTube description specifies that the two on the left are married and so the uploader “considers their behavior a little unsporting”

Comrade Caldara and Comrade Lotti lmao

these are my three personalities kindly discussing in my brain

This has so much meme potential lol

The lady to the right also says "The difference is that Italian polyphony is completely different (from Bachian)". How could it be missed in subtitles???

This is the correct amount of passion one should have for the topic of fugues

Всё было вроде нормально. Сидели, выпивали... Драка началась после слов „Семантика этюдности в прозе Пришвина неоднозначна“

Ahh, passionate discussions of the classics, paintings lining the walls, berry mors, Borjomi, and a sleepy cat curled up on the sofa - a quintessential Russian house party.

western ideas live anywhere but the west. i spent 5 years in europe & uk and not once i encountered someone passionate enough to talk about art or philosophy at this level

Everything is derivative of Bach. Cope commie bitch.

I didn’t say anything about the composers. I just think the video is funny

It is funny. The ridiculous people have a point. I was trying to LARP argue with the lady in the video.

@MissPavIichenko bro thats not larp thats just rp

@MissPavIichenko What? Like Schubert?

passionate debate over schubert with cats just vibing in the background is the most cultured thing ive seen today and honestly i live for it

. This debate has split opinion in Britain right down the middle. I went for a pint of milk in Liverpool this morning and.. .

cut to a breakfast argument in America, and it's about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not.

They had to clear the breakfast table because the lunchtime crowd arguing Hegelianism vs Schopenhauer were about to arrive.

Schubert definitely did know Bach.

Comrade Caldara, comrade Lotti, good amount of Tsar vodka. This is brilliant. Happy people

Knowing that people in this world have such discussions is giving me hope in the human kind.

This is exactly the sort of thing I remember from studying in Russia

This is like the 130 IQ version of who’s better Biggie or Tupac

Damn Schubert fans. Always talking shit. They're like a cult.

This is (post-)Soviet 'intelligentsia' in a nutshell

That was surprisingly wholesome. I definitely needed that kind of energy today.

"russians are pretty confrontational, ill put on some soothing classical music at the dinner party to calm them down"

I need to know the context here

They're musicologists having a heated debate over Schubert.

I assumed so 😂

the peak of russian culture

That cat ! And seriously, Russians will argue about literally anything. Especially after a little vodka.
