The Russians are getting soft...

Consider this interesting performance by the Leningrad Cowboys backed by the Red Army Choir.



To begin with, the choice of song is pretty cute, and the group certainly has its "visuals" down.

But when did the Red Army Chorus start hanging mics on individual choristers?

Those guys used to be able to blow you back in your seat without breathing hard.


What's next, ya big sissies? Lip-syncing?
