New York's Leninist Break Dancers.

A song composed by Brezhnev's favourite composer in the middle of the stagnation period has made some unlikely appearances in recent years on the New York subway. The song "And the Battle Rages on Again" composed in 1974 by Aleksandra Pakhmutova has been remixed and played to accompany a display of break dancing.

With such a restless heart
And Lenin is so young
And young October still to come.

This particular song has had a number of cover versions by some of the well-known Russian groups in the post-Soviet period including a version by the group Leningrad:
