Neuromonakh Feofan! Heroic Russian Rock Music with a Dancing Bear - Sami Yaffa visits St Petersburg on Sound Tracker TV Show - Link TV - They DON'T Make 'em Like This in LA...

https://www.linktv.org/shows/sound-tracker/episodes/russia-st-petersburg
 After Watching this episode THREE times I was able to Read the Name of the Band! Here it is!  

In this episode, Sami Yaffa travels to St. Petersburg and examines the vast musical diversity present in Russia's most European city. From St. Petersburg's underground musical scene to Tuvan Buddhist throat-singers, Yaffa explores a wide range of musical talents. Rooted in the multitude of musical forms present in St. Petersburg is a sense of multiculturalism, a diverse Russia. Yaffa not only shows all that St. Petersburg has to offer musically, but engages in a dialogue of what music can do in a state with issues of freedom of speech.


and HERE is a Working Video!

and HERE is Another! 

The project consists of the author of songs and performer Neuromonakh Feofan (real name is Oleg Stepanov), DJ Nikodim (Mikhail Grodinsky) and the Bear (originally — Feofan's wife, Irina Stepanova). Neuromonkh Feofan is a tall man with a beard whose face is hidden behind a hood, dressed in a Orthodox-like hoodie and bast shoes and holding a stave with a laser pointer hidden inside.

Neuromonakh Feofan (Russian: Нейромонáх Феофáн, lit. 'Neuromonk Feofan') is a musical project from St. Petersburg, Russia, performing music in drum 'n' bass styles. The project is popular on the Internet and got the status of an Internet meme. The group members remain anonymous.

Neuromonakh Feofan's performances are stylized as Russian festivals with group members dressed in bast shoes, kosovorotkas and sarafans. The lyrics of Feofan's songs abound with Slavic and obsolete Russian words, and the vocals are filled with characteristic rope. Neuromonakh Feofan performs his songs with balalaika side by side with drum 'n' bass rhythms.

Neuromonakh Feofan / Нейромонах Феофан
Neuromonakh Feofan (Нейромонах Феофан) is a mysterious and extraordinary product of the Russian club scene. The name “Neuromonakh” is derived from “Neurofunk,” a subgenre of drum and bass, and the Russian word for “monk.” The band sings exclusively in Russian, but mixes contemporary language with obsolete words and Old Church Slavonic to create epic verses set to electronic drum and bass mixed with traditional instruments like the balalaika.

Members of the three-man group remain anonymous, but we know the lead singer-songwriter, Feofan, conceals his face behind a hooded robe and false beard, wears sandals, and occasionally swaps his balalaika for a staff with a hidden laser. He’s also quite tall. He’s assisted by DJ Nicodemus, who sports an embroidered tunic and foot cloths, and is accompanied by a guy dressed in a bear costume. They never break character, and refuse to comment on politics, religion, or beards.

The legend of the group, as told by the group, goes something like this: Feofan began as a solo artist in St. Petersburg in 2009. Tired of city life, Nicodemus joined him in 2013 after they bumped into each other in the woods. The duo shared a cup of tea, relaxed on a tree stump and, disconnected from the overpowering rhythm of the city, conceived of a way to marry the fantastic energy of folk music to techno. They wrangled the bear, re-recorded old songs, wrote a few new ones and Neuromonakh Feofan was born.

    Putin Ally Blames Crisis on Rise of Black U.S. Music Stars He Calls ‘Descendants of African American Slaves’
    In a sign of the times for Vladimir Putin’s twisted Russian regime, a regional governor has been backed by the State Duma after saying the “descendants of African-American slaves” are to blame for the country’s growing crisis.
    Vadim Shumkov, governor of the Kurgan region, said Russian society was collapsing—as exemplified by the rising rate of suicide and depression among young people—and it can all be traced back to the popularity of Black American stars in the music industry.
    In a bizarre rant posted on his official Telegram channel, Shumkov described a gaping hole of emptiness at the center of Russian culture, which he argued was not the result of poverty, war, or rampant corruption, but “an underestimation of the importance of native national culture.”
    “Many of our children… are already growing up without knowing or remembering their kindred tribe,” he lamented, claiming that they are instead “singing songs written by the descendants of African-American slaves, often playing the ape and imitating the habits and language, brimming with, frankly, second-rate quasi-cultural vulgarity. Clinging to this secondariness, being proud of it.”
    “Hence the growth of overt spiritual emptiness, depression, suicides. The lack of meaning in life,” he wrote.
    Though Shumkov did not mention Russia’s war against Ukraine as a possible reason for the bleak mood in the country, he went on to hint at a growing rift between ordinary Russians that he blamed on outside forces, claiming that a “neglect of native culture” has led to a biblical Cain and Abel situation, with brothers pitted against brothers by “foreign ‘well-wishers’” who see them as “expendable.”
    While Shumkov’s remarks were simultaneously mocked and criticized on social media, the Russian State Duma found nothing offensive in his argument.
    Alexander Sholokhov, the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, told local media there was nothing inflammatory in his comments because he’d used the term “African-American.”
    “I think that depression is connected with the lack of ideology in our country,” Sholokhov said. “I disagree with [allegations of] incitement. He used the word African American. The governor acted more than politically correct, using literally the American version to designate this race, and besides… this same African-American culture occupies a significant part of show business and variety shows.”
    BIFF: what? Did you really say "“Hence the growth of overt spiritual emptiness?
    Well I would have to say and all word wise Fanzenfrenz would have to say "Just wait till you hear Biff Rose' new band "Black Cootchie Riot"

Who were the Reds and Whites in Russian history?
The civil war occurred because after November 1917, many groups had formed that opposed Lenin's Bolsheviks. These groups included monarchists, militarists, and, for a short time, foreign nations. Collectively, they were known as the Whites while the Bolsheviks were known as the Reds.

And all of those people that came to America had to pay for their boat ride... The Irish often had to work for Seven Years as an Indentured Servant to Pay off the Debt for the Boat Ride...


as a Matter of Fact, Only Slaves from Africa got a Free Boat Ride and a Guaranteed Job for Life! Who Could Turn Down That Offer? Not Many...

"We Were DUPED by a KGB Agent." - Says Jim Jordan - The Biden Impeachment Inquiry has become a Disaster for the House GOP! "WE GOT NOTHING!"

Asked how the hearing had gone as he left the building, Hunter Biden replied, "Great."
Republicans, who narrowly control the House, are pushing ahead with their impeachment inquiry even after a person who provided accusations at the heart of their case was charged with lying to the FBI.

James Biden reportedly says his brother was never involved in his business ventures –

House Republicans’ long-running effort to impeach Joe Biden was rocked by news of the arrest of a former FBI informant whose claims about Hunter Biden’s business with a Ukrainian gas firm were a key part of the GOP’s case against the president. Alexander Smirnov is accused of lying to the government, and yesterday, prosecutors revealed that he said he received information from Russian intelligence.

House GOP Goes Crazy. Why Do They REFUSE to Make America Great? Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan Lead the ANARCHY PARTY!

We truly have entered the Twilight Zone. 
Trump has installed a Quack Radiologist in the White House as his Chief Immunologist. Scott Atlas. This guy is out of his depth. He did get his Radiology Degree at Stanford University and was briefly on staff there years ago. Stanford has put out statements saying he has not worked there for a long time and no one in the Sciences department agrees with any of the recommendations he's making. As a matter of fact they are warning they believe he is a grave danger to America. 
I wholeheartedly agree. We still don't know enough about Covid-19. Two nations began the process of Herd Immunity early on and quickly stopped as the Death Rates Spike astronomically. We ( Rational Non-Trump Americans )  have looked into the numbers of going with the White House plan of Herd Immunity and it means between 2Million and 6Million Americans MUST DIE. to achieve.
Apparently thats A-OK With Trump.

WHAT IS HERD MENTALITY - GROUPTHINK
What our nation is experiencing is  a phenomenon called groupthink or Herd Mentality. Remember Hitler... Same premise. 
Here are some highlights from a paper I wrote about groupthink tailored to the business environment, but is also applicable to our political environment.
According to Griffin (1997), 
Janis originally defined groupthink as “a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members’ strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.” 
According to his definition, groupthink occurs only when cohesiveness is high. When colleagues operate in a groupthink mode, they automatically apply the “preserve group harmony” test to every decision they face. (¶ 8)
Two symptoms of groupthink that Sullivan (2004) identified include “stereotyped views 
of the perceived enemies or competing leaders as weak or incompetent and an unquestioned 
belief in the groups’ inherent morality” (¶ 2).
Sullivan (2004) proclaimed (as cited in Manz, 1995), “Notable evidence indicates that cohesive groups (such as self-managing teams) tend to create internal pressures 
towards conformity that interfere with constructive critical analysis and ultimately lead to dysfunctional decisions” (¶ 8). 
Griffin (1997) declared, “When a group confronts a great threat or a grand opportunity, concurrence-seeking almost always produces an inferior solution” (p. 4). 
When a leader makes decisions, determines issues, identifies goals, and implements 
corrective measures for a team, groupthink is the result. Groupthink leads to conflict and distrust among the staff and deteriorates the communication and team process. Awareness of groupthink in the team design leads to individual creativity and involvement. Increased ingenuity and participation leads to teamthink. 
Teamthink encourages collaboration, debate, and common goals, which positively supports team members and the organization. Teams that have clear objectives and collaborate.  under participative rather than directive leadership produce innovative solutions and satisfied workers.
What we are experiencing with Trumpism is groupthink or herd mentality.
Trump Supporters = Herd Mentality or Groupthink
Biden/Harris = Teamthink
