The frontman of the German band Rammstein Till Lindemann has released a video clip for the popular Soviet song "Favorite City". He recorded a composition in Russian for Timur Bekmambetov's film Devyatayev, dedicated to a Soviet pilot, a hero of the Great Patriotic War, according to the Zvezda TV channel.
The video for the song, written by composer Nikita Bogoslovsky and poet Yevgeny Dolmatovsky, is posted on the performer's YouTube channel. In the first 20 hours, he scored over 150,000 views and almost 30,000 likes.
The film's director Timur Bekmambetov said that Lindemann himself expressed a desire to perform a song that his mother sang to him in childhood. The performer spent his childhood in the city of Rostock, which was part of the German Democratic Republic, and his father often visited the Soviet Union.
Devyatayev opened the Moscow International Film Festival the day before. The film tells about a pilot who was taken prisoner by Germany, ended up in a concentration camp, but was able to leave it on a hijacked German plane.
