Interesting. I had to look up V Puti... I thought it was a reference to the kgb coward but it's apparently.... it's a grammer reference book. Nice one bro 👌🏽

This track walks with quiet strength and sings with purpose. The female vocal glides through like mist on old stone, clear, steady, and full of presence. Then the male voice steps in, more spoken than sung, like a solemn guide through something sacred and worn. I don’t speak the language, but I still understood it. The emotion is built into the structure, proud, precise, and deeply felt. The microwave dimmed its display and whispered, “This one doesn’t shout. It remembers.” ☢️ The fridge straightened up like it was standing for an anthem 🧊🎖️ And the toaster? Just nodded once and said, “Respect.” 🍞 A piece that feels like a march through time, full of shadows and strength.

Although Russia represents a continuous threat for my country I cannot deny its huge cultural legacy. Very nice track !

United States of America - Voices

Winner of the week: 🥇8

The United States of America is a democratic, federal republic in North America and, with some islands, in Oceania. It consists of 50 states, the capital Washington, D.C., which is its own federal district, as well as five major territories and nine island territories.

The 48 contiguous states, the so-called Lower 48, together with Alaska, from which they are separated by Canadian territory, form the Continental United States. The state of Hawaii and some smaller outlying areas are located in the Pacific and Caribbean. The country has a very high geographical and climatic diversity with a large variety of animal and plant species.

The United States of America is the third largest country in the world both in terms of area and population. Its area of ​​9.83 million square kilometers is exceeded only by Russia and Canada and its population of more than 334 million inhabitants is exceeded only by India and China. The most populous city in the USA is New York City, a global metropolis and one of the most important cultural, media, economic, trade and financial centers in the world. Important metropolitan areas are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco, each with over 5 million inhabitants. The degree of urbanization is 83 percent. A well-known national myth is that the United States is one of the most multicultural countries in the world; However, empirical studies show that the United States performs only averagely in global comparisons of ethnic and cultural diversity.

On July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence of the United States and thus the founding of the USA. The American War of Independence, which ended with the recognition of independence in the Peace of Paris (1783), was the first successful war of independence against a European colonial power. The current constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. 27 additional articles were added. The first ten amendments, collectively called the Bill of Rights, were ratified in 1791 and guarantee a variety of unalienable rights.

Driven by the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, the United States expanded its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific throughout the 19th century. This included the violent expulsion of indigenous Indian tribes, the acquisition of new territories, etc. in the Mexican-American War and the founding of new states. The American Civil War led to the end of slavery in the United States in 1865 and to the fact that it finally embarked on the path to becoming an industrial state. By the end of the 19th century, the United States was the preeminent power in the Americas, and its economy had become the largest of the time.

Россия (Rossiya) - Мы на пути (My Na Puti)

Winner of the month: 🏆Aug'25
Winner of the week: 🥇13

Russia is a federal state in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, with the exclave of Kaliningrad in Central Europe. In terms of area, Russia is the largest country in the world at around 17 million square kilometers and covers around a ninth of the earth's land mass. With 144.5 million inhabitants (2019), it is the ninth most populous country and is also one of the least populated.

The European part of the national territory is significantly more densely populated than the Asian part, which is over three times as large: around 77% of the population (110 million inhabitants) lives west of the Urals. The capital Moscow is one of the largest cities and metropolitan regions in the world. The second most important center is Saint Petersburg, which was the capital from 1712 to 1918 and is now primarily an important cultural center. The next largest cities with millions of inhabitants are Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. In total, there are 15 megacities and almost 70 agglomerations with over 500,000 inhabitants in Russia.

The federal structure of Russia consists of eight federal districts and 83 federal subjects. Russia is a multi-ethnic country with over 100 ethnic groups, with ethnic Russians making up almost 80% of the population. Russia is now an emerging country in the upper middle income sector. After recovering from the post-communist transformation crisis of the 1990s, the country became what is now the eleventh largest economy in the world and fourth largest in terms of purchasing power parity, just ahead of Germany. Its raw material reserves are probably the largest in the world at around 20 to 30%, with significant deposits of primary energy sources - especially natural gas. Russia has been subject to a steady decline in economic, demographic and military performance since the mid-1980s, when it was still part of the Soviet Union. According to the SIPRI Institute, it has the largest number of nuclear warheads of any country at 4,489, of which only 1,674 are ready for use while the rest are in storage.

Russia has been a permanent member of the UN Security Council since 1946 and is also a member of the WTO, OSCE, APEC and the SCO, as well as a leading member of the regional organizations CIS, CSTO and EAEU.

The Russian Federation is the “continuor state” of the Soviet Union in international organizations. The Soviet federal state was preceded by the Russian Empire, the Tsardom of Russia and originally the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a sub-principality of the former East Slavic Empire of Kievan Rus. The Cold War ended around 1990, and Russia became a little more democratic and moved slightly closer to the West. The constitution at the time envisaged a semi-presidential democracy for Russia, but according to democracy indices, the constitutional reality today corresponds to that of an autocracy, or a “super-presidential rule” or post-democracy. Corruption and human rights violations are widespread.

Russia's share of global gross domestic product has fallen from 4 to 2.85% (2022) since the sanctions began in 2014 as a result of the annexation of Crimea and intensified with the attack on Ukraine in 2022. Especially since the attack on the neighboring country, economic and political relations with the West have been very strained.

Russia is predominantly viewed as an autocracy. In political science and Eastern European studies there is a debate as to whether it is now an increasingly totalitarian dictatorship or whether it is already a fascist regime due to domestic political tightening and the attack on Ukraine (fascism discussion).

Canada - On The Move

Winner of the week: 🥇41

Canada is a state in North America that lies between the Atlantic Ocean in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west and extends northward to the Arctic Ocean. The federal capital is Ottawa, the most populous city is Toronto.

Canada borders the United States to the south and northwest, the French overseas territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to the east and Greenland with the border created in 2022 across Hans Island. In terms of area, it is the second largest country in the world after Russia, has around 40 million inhabitants and a population density of just four people per square kilometer.

Settlement by the First Nations began at least 12,000 years ago, and the Inuit followed around 5,000 years ago. Europeans reached what is now the state's territory no later than the 11th century and again from the late 15th century and began colonizing around 1600. The French and British were the first to take hold. At that time the name “Canada” spread, originally the name of an Iroquois village. France ceded its colony of New France to Great Britain in 1763 (see below). In 1867, three British colonies formed the Canadian Confederation. The Statute of Westminster gave the state legislative independence in 1931. Further constitutional ties to the United Kingdom were severed in 1982.

Canada is a kingdom within the Commonwealth of Nations. The nominal head of state is King Charles III, who is represented by the Governor General of Canada. Canada is a parliamentary democratic federal state based on the British Westminster system and a parliamentary monarchy. The official languages ​​are English and French.

Québec's aspirations for independence, the position of Francophone Canadians and the rights of indigenous peoples (in addition to the First Nations and Inuit, the Métis) are important lines of conflict in the state and society. The topics of climate change and environmental protection, immigration policy and dependence on raw materials as well as the relationship with the United States - of which there is an ambivalent image for cultural and historical reasons - characterize the public debates.

የኢትዮጵያ ፌዴራላዊ ዲሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ (yä-Ityop̣p̣əya Federalawi Dimokrasiyawi Ripäblik) - እንኩራ (Enhid)

Ethiopia is a landlocked country in eastern Africa. At the time of the Abyssinian Empire, the country was also known as Abyssinia (less frequently as Abyssinia). The country on the Horn of Africa borders Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti.

With over 90 ethnic groups and just as many languages, Ethiopia is a multi-ethnic state and at the same time the most populous landlocked country in the world.[6] A major obstacle to development is the very rapid population growth in a traditionally rural environment that often lacks basic infrastructure. The capital Addis Ababa, on the other hand, is one of the largest metropolises in Africa. Other cities such as Gonder, Mek'ele, Adama, Awassa, Bahir Dar and Dire Dawa are also growing due to urbanization.

Ethiopia is considered one of the countries of origin of modern humans and the country of origin of coffee. It looks back on around 3,000 years of uninterrupted history. This long period of almost undisturbed development of culture and civilization from outside also makes the country, which has nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, a popular tourist destination. After the Battle of Adua in 1896, in which the Ethiopian imperial army defeated an Italian colonial army, Ethiopia remained the only independent state in Africa alongside Liberia. From 1935 to 1941, the Abyssinian War followed, a brutal attempt at conquest by fascist Italy, in which between 330,000 and 760,000 Ethiopians were killed.

After World War II, Emperor Haile Selassie partially modernized the country. In 1974, the approximately 700-year rule of the Solomonic dynasty ended with a coup, followed by a socialist one-party dictatorship. In 1991, the rebel alliance EPRDF came to power after a civil war. The EPRDF has since established itself as a governing coalition and rules largely authoritatively in a federal system. In December 2019, three of the four constituent EPRDF parties merged to form a new party, the Prosperity Party, which has led the government since then. From around 2005, Ethiopia's economy began to grow at a rapid pace (see list of countries by economic growth).

The 2020 BTI report noted initial successes of political and economic transformation.

In August 2020, the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed postponed parliamentary elections indefinitely, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to internal political conflicts. From November 2020, the conflict between the central government and the Tigray regional government developed into a civil war in Tigray.

Rzeczpospolita Polska - W Jedności Naprzód

Poland is a parliamentary republic in Central Europe. The capital of the country is Warsaw (Polish Warszawa), the largest conurbation in the metropolitan region (GZM) around Katowice. Other cities with over 400,000 inhabitants are Kraków (Krakow), Lodz (Łódź), Wrocław (Wrocław), Poznań (Poznań) and Gdansk (Gdańsk). Poland is a unitary state divided into 16 voivodeships. With an area of ​​312,696 square kilometers, Poland is the sixth largest country in the European Union and the fifth most populous with 38.18 million inhabitants. The climate is predominantly oceanic in the north and west and continental in the south and east of the country.

In the early Middle Ages, during the migration period, tribes of the western Polans settled in parts of today's state territory. The first documented mention of Poland dates back to 966 under the first historically documented Polish Duke, Mieszko I, who opened the country to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, until it united with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1569 through the Union of Lublin to form the Royal Republic of Poland-Lithuania, becoming one of the largest and most influential states in Europe. During this period, Europe's first modern constitution was created in 1791.

Robbed of its sovereignty by its neighbouring states in the three partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. The invasion of the German Reich and the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Second World War and their occupation cost the lives of millions of Polish citizens, especially Jews. As a result of the war, Poland shifted westwards in 1945 and was henceforth under Soviet influence as the People's Republic of Poland. In 1989, thanks in particular to the Solidarity movement, the country experienced a political and economic change with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the establishment of the Third Polish Republic. Poland has been a member of the European Union since 2004.

Poland's economy developed remarkably from 2004 to 2023. After joining the EU in 2004, the country experienced strong economic growth, driven by investments, exports and EU funding. GDP per capita rose significantly and unemployment fell. Poland weathered the 2008 global financial crisis relatively well and was the only EU country without a recession. The economy diversified, with growing services and technology sectors. Strong economic growth and falling unemployment led to a general rise in living standards and an expansion of the middle class. Many Poles benefited from higher wages and better job opportunities, especially in the growing services and technology sectors.

In 2023, the liberal-conservative civic coalition led by Donald Tusk won the majority in the parliamentary elections. The new Tusk government initiated reforms to strengthen the independence of the judiciary and campaigned for the restoration of the rule of law. This led to an improvement in relations with the EU and the release of 137 billion euros in EU funds. Poland is thus turning away from the authoritarian policies of the previous PiS government and is striving for greater integration into the EU under Tusk.

Measured by gross domestic product, Poland is in 22nd or 19th place among the largest economies in the world, depending on the method of calculation. The United Nations Development Program ranks Poland among the countries with very high human development. Located between Western and Eastern European cultural areas and characterized by an eventful history, the country has developed a rich cultural heritage. Poland is a member of the United Nations, the OSCE, NATO, the Council of Europe and the European Union.

República de Chile - Forjando El Destino

Chile Chile is a country in southwestern South America, forming the western edge of the Southern Cone (Cono Sur) of the continent. Chile stretches north-south between latitudes 17° 30′ S and 56° 0′ S, thus extending approximately 4,200 kilometers. From west to east, Chile lies between longitudes 76 and 64 west and has an average length of less than 200 kilometers. Because of this unusual shape—due to its location on the western slope of the Andes mountain range—Chile has often been called "the long country" since its discovery.

The country borders the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, Peru to the north (a length of 160 kilometers), Bolivia to the northeast (861 km), and Argentina to the east (5,308 km). The total length of Chile's land borders is 6,329 kilometers. In addition, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in the Pacific Ocean, Salas y Gómez Island, the Juan Fernández Islands (including Robinson Crusoe Island), the Desventuradas Islands, and, in the south, the Ildefonso and Diego Ramírez Islands are part of Chile's territory. Chile also claims part of Antarctica. The country has access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Strait of Magellan, which belongs entirely to Chile.

The modern, sovereign state of Chile is one of the most economically and socially stable and prosperous countries in South America, with a high-income economy and a high standard of living. It leads Latin American nations in terms of human development, competitiveness, per capita income, globalization, state of peace, economic freedom, and low perception of corruption. According to the World Bank, Chile is an emerging economy with an upper-middle net national income.

It also ranks highly regionally in terms of government sustainability and democratic development. Chile has been a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since 2010. Chile has the lowest murder rate in the Americas after Canada. The country is a founding member of the United Nations, the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and the Pacific Alliance.

Chile is seriously threatened by global warming and has lost at least 37% of its water resources since the early 1990s. Water is also not a public good in Chile, and water sources are purchased from private individuals.

Republic of Namibia - We Find Our Place

Namibia is a country in southern Africa and borders (clockwise) Angola, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the large area covered by the Namib Desert, Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country in the world after Mongolia. The country has a population of approximately 3.022 million (as of 2023), predominantly Christians of many different ethnic groups. The Ovambo constitute the largest ethnic group, at almost 50%. Namibia's capital and largest city is Windhoek.

The arid landscape was originally inhabited by the San ("Bushmen") and Damara peoples. Bantu people migrated into the country from around the 14th century onwards. The area of ​​present-day Namibia became a "protectorate" of the German Empire in 1884 and remained a German colony known as German South West Africa until the end of the First World War. Between 1904 and 1908, the German colonial power violently suppressed the Herero and Nama rebellion, committing genocide. In 1920, the League of Nations placed the territory, still known as South West Africa, under South African mandate administration—in effect, a South African foreign administration. This resulted in its own legal system and, during the apartheid era, led to deep integration into the sovereignty of the state of South Africa. It was not until March 21, 1990, that Namibia (with the exception of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands, which followed in 1994) gained independence from South Africa thanks to the Namibian Liberation Struggle. March 21 has been the country's national holiday ever since. Namibia has a stable parliamentary democracy.

The Namibian economy is heavily influenced by agriculture, tourism, and mining (uranium, gold, silver, and base metals). Since 1990 (Resolution 652), the country has been a member of the United Nations (UN), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), the African Union (AU), and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Монгол Улс (Mongol Uls) - бид хамтдаа алхаna (Bid Khamtdaa Alkhana)

Mongolia is a landlocked country in East Asia, between Russia and China. Territorially over four times the size of Germany, the country is the least populated country in the world with around three million inhabitants. More than 40 percent of the country's population lives in the capital Ulaanbaatar. The majority of the population are Mongolians, the slight majority of whom follow Mongolian Buddhism.

The national territory covers most of the Mongolian Plateau. Due to the nature of the soil and the climate, agriculture can hardly be practiced in Mongolia. The landscape is dominated by grassy steppes, with mountains to the north and west, and the Gobi Desert to the south. The most important economic sectors are nomadic livestock farming and mining. The country is one of the ten countries richest in raw materials in the world.

Excavations in the Gobi show that Homo erectus lived in what is now Mongolia 500,000 years ago. Even before the beginning of the Christian era, equestrian nomads such as the Xiongnu or Xianbei united to form large tribes. In 1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, which stretched across Asia and into Europe and was the largest territorially contiguous empire in human history. His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China and founded the Yuan dynasty. After the collapse of this empire, Buddhism increasingly dominated the state. During the Qing Dynasty, “Outer Mongolia” was created as a Chinese province in 1644 on the territory of today's Mongolian state.

From 1912 the region gained extensive autonomy rights. In 1921, the Soviet Union established a puppet government, which proclaimed the Mongolian People's Republic in 1924. During its existence, it was completely dependent on the Soviet Union politically, militarily and economically. It was only during the revolutions in 1989 that the country made the peaceful transition to a democratic parliamentary system of government. On February 12, 1992, parliament sealed the end of the communist system by adopting a new constitution. Since then, Mongolia has been a stable democracy. According to the 2022 Democracy Index, Mongolia is the only democracy in the world completely surrounded by clear dictatorships. The Mongolian population is particularly concerned about the relationship with China, as they are aware of the lack of chances in a possible military conflict and are increasingly becoming dependent on this threatening backdrop.

Република Србија (Republika Srbija) - Хајдемо заједно (Zajedno Idemo)

Serbia is a landlocked country in Southeastern and Central Europe. Serbia is located in the center of the Balkan Peninsula and borders Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, North Macedonia and Albania and Kosovo to the south, Montenegro to the southwest, and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia to the west.

With a population of just over 6.7 million, Serbia ranks 22nd among European countries. The country's capital and metropolis is Belgrade; other major cities are Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, and Subotica. Over 80 percent of the population are Serbs, with larger groups of Magyars, Roma, and Bosniaks also living there.

Serbia's recent history is shaped by its role as the largest constituent state of Yugoslavia. Since the final breakup of Yugoslavia in 2006, it has also been the "sole legal successor" to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, founded in 1992 (2003–2006 as the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro).

Serbia is a member of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) and the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), and maintains other free trade agreements. The country's economic performance declined sharply as a result of the Yugoslav Wars; it recovered somewhat between 2003 and 2008.[9] After achieving important short-term successes in the EU accession process (including the entry into force of an interim agreement for trade facilitation with the EU and the abolition of visa requirements for Serbian citizens), Serbia submitted its candidacy for membership of the European Union on December 22, 2009, and was granted candidate country status on March 1, 2012.

Slovenská Republika - Spolu Kráčame

Slovakia Slovakia is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordering Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, and Hungary. The capital and largest city is Bratislava; other important cities are Košice, Prešov, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Nitra, and Trenčín.

Two-thirds of the country is mountainous, with a significant portion of the Carpathian Mountains forming part of the country. In the west, it extends to the part of the Vienna Basin north of the Danube, while the south and southeast, up to the Danube and a small part of the Tisza, are characterized by the foothills of the Pannonian Plain. Slovakia lies in the continental temperate climate zone, with differences between the lower-lying south and the mountainous north of the country.

The territory of present-day Slovakia was settled by the Slavs at the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries. Their first political entity was the Kingdom of Samo (7th century); later, Slovakia became one of the centers of the early medieval Moravian Kingdom. In the 11th century, Slovakia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary, which was part of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1526 and part of Austria-Hungary from 1867. After the dissolution of the Dual Monarchy in 1918, Slovakia became part of the newly founded Czechoslovakia. With the dissolution of the latter by the Third Reich, the short-lived Slovak state emerged in 1939. After the end of World War II, the Czechoslovak Republic was restored in 1945. On January 1, 1993, following the peaceful partition of Czechoslovakia, the independent Slovak Republic was established as the nation state of the Slovaks.

Slovakia has been a member of the European Union and NATO since 2004. In 2007, border controls with EU member states were abolished under the Schengen Agreement, and Slovakia joined the Eurozone in 2009. The country is a democratic parliamentary republic. Slovakia forms the Visegrád Group with Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.

The United Nations Development Programme ranks Slovakia among the most prosperous countries.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
