Laika

Süleyman Rüstem was a popular Azerbeijani poet, his poems are so pro-soviet that you can't discern whether it is irony, true love or a solid belief in ideology. Here Zamir Sulemanov reads a poem about the first animal-cosmonaut Laika. Laika is in the air barking ham ham it inspires me. Zamir writes – Süleyman Rüstem and Politlirika (politpoetry) How do you know who is a genuine pro-Soviet propagandist and who is forced to be one?
