Song of Chekists - Песня чекистов - A tribute to Yuri Andropov

Two days ago, 09. february, was 37-th anniversary of death of one of the most notorious chekists-Yuri Andropov. Although, he wasn’t originally in Cheka, he was head of the KGB, NKVD’s successor. During his presidency of the KGB, which lasted from 1967 to 1982, KGB grew to one of the most efficient, admired and feared intelligence agencies, home and abroad, especially in USA, abroad, and disidents movements, at home. He was General Secretary of the CPSU (de facto leader of USSR) for 14 months, from 1982 to 1984. Many historians consider his reforms and fight against corruption more structural then revisionist Glasnost and Perestroika, which led to dissolution of USSR. I guess we will never know. I personally think that he was the only one who could have saved USSR. Andropov was legend, real legend! Glory to him and to USSR!! I’m again using this song, couldn’t find any other that fits better to Andropov’s personality and role in Soviet history. Also, song is beautifull!&#
