For the fourth - the last week June 2016 - we selected a Tango uploaded by Dr.240252 on June 18-2016 - titled "Pyotr Leschenko Tango - Ne Uhodi - Do Not Leave Me - 1930".
Pyotr Leschenko - an enormously talented Ukrainian/Romanian - singer and composer became internationally famous between 1929 and 1940. Unfortunately - he met an early death in Romanian labor camp fashioned after the labor camps established by the Soviet dictator - Stalin - in many Eastern Europen countries at that time.
Lots of talented people perished in those terrible prisons where the local "government types" ran the horrible estalishments. Nadeshda Mandelshtam - a poetess and a writer - the wife of a famous Russian poet - Osip Mandelshtam who died an early death in Stalin's labor camp where he was sentenced after publishing an unflattering poem about Stalin - expressed her accurate observations about those times in her famous "Memoirs". She said that some people were forced to follow Stalin regime but their hearts "wept inside them" however others - were more than happy to follow Stalin's reign of terror.
At any rate - enjoy the Tango and please - read the comments by Dr.240252 as well as those made by the viewers. Yours truly also commented - my Youtube name is tango3721 - not boasting or anything - mind you.
Have a good last week of June 2016 - everybody and as always - don't forget to click here next weekend which will be the first week of July 2016!
