So, it's Victory Day. Soviets beat the Nazis. Germany surrenders. Stalin takes over the world. And to commemorate the grand occasion we, ha ha, this is funny, we do the jitterbug to American music. I guess the USA did win the Cold War, but it seemed quite ironic that the last dance before the military review was so blatantly American.
