Audio of Winston Churchill’s famous “We Shall Fight On the Beaches” speech, delivered to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, the day on which the evacuation of Dunkirk ended in success.
In defiance of the increasing dominance of Nazi Germany over Europe, Churchill ended his address with the following:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

You know what’s kind of the best thing about that?
The “Trololo” song is actually a pretty old Russian song. The lyrics of that song were considered having too much revolutionary potential and were therefore banned in Russia at the time Khil did this perfomance.
So the song was pretty much illegal, and singing it on TV could have meant prison or worse for him.
But he decided to sing it anyway, changing the lyrics to this “lololo”-gibberish. Since pretty much everyone in Russia knew that song at the time, this way he still spread the message, but slipped it right past the radar of the government.
It’s a nice thought that most of the world finds his raised middle fingers to the Russian government just as fun as he did, even though for other reasons. The fact that it became a meme on the internet makes his protest against censorship immortal, so the Russian government won’t be able to escape his raised middle fingers from the grave for a long time.
Thank you, Eduard Khil. We hardly knew you, but I hope you’re going to have a good time wherever you are now. :3
