Jokes aside, they defined their music as "pro-Soviet punk and Emilian popular music".
But being pro-Soviet for the CCCP did not mean being communists, but being against: against uncritical homologation, against blind and alienating material progress, against the destiny of a life that has already been written, an everyday life that is always gray and always the same. No pose: the CCCP are on the side of the steel and concrete world of the Soviet Union against that of plastic and sequins of America.

If the Berlin Wall had been made of Legos with glue-on sparkles, it probably wouldn't have been as imposing.

I'm sensing some slightly negative connotations here. Maybe a little hostility even. Perjoritively speaking of course.
