House Collapsed in Baku
A house has collapsed in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, former USSR part…
Soviet Funk by Muslim Magomaev
Muslim Magomaev (Azerbaijani by origin) is one of the best and well-known Soviet singers. Unfortunately, the big part of his songs was forbidden by the State censorship as inappropriate for the Soviet ideology, but of course there were some exceptions, like this one.
The song about Baku, the capital of the former Soviet republic Azerbaijan, called “Baku, my city”, is considered as one of the most non-typical Soviet musical hits. It was written in the funk style, what was unusual for the USSR era by itself. And Muslim Magomaev in this video clip looks like Sean Connery in the movie about James Bond. But the clip has passed the censorship, because of the positive impression about Baku and the USSR it created.
Also in this clip one can see Baku of the Soviet times.
The Palace in Azerbaijan
This is nothing but the private house of the former Secretary of Health Care of Azerbaijan (the former USSR republic). Two years ago he was sentenced to the five years of imprisonment with the confiscation of property. The reason was corruption. Together with the imprisonment he had to pay a compensation of $17 million which seemed not to be a big trouble for him.
Some pictures of the property after the jump.
