My grandpa, the Dachau concentration camp detainee, once asked me never listen to Wagner as this music was played during mass murders of detainees in camps of death.
Later I learned that David Oystrach was playing Wagner's music.
The lesson is that dictators such as 'Putler' or Hitler or even Killary had have their own music preferences and it shouldn't really mean that "Balalaika" sucks because 'Putler' likes that.
Balalaika, harmonica and dobro are Russian folk instruments and music put together for Russian folk ensembles will certainly live forever same as music and instruments of any other nation.
