Alla Pugacheva is one of Russian pop's most important contributors of all time. Her greatest accolade was being nominated the People's Artist of the USSR. With a career stretching back from today till when Stalin was still mass murdering, this lady is a gold mine of bizarre and terrifying Soviet style music videos. Look at the way "fun" seems to behave been sacrificed for a utilitarian explanation of the noise the instruments make. As far as I can tell, she explain to us how to string a balalaika and clean a zylyphone. But I'm not sure. I would have loved to be in the Soviet MTV headquarters. It seems you could have produced anything, as long as it was utter crap. Now, Alla is now the producer of the fantastically Russian sounding "Star Factory", a program exactly the same as the X Factor, except they put the failed contestants into a labour camp in Siberia that manufactures bootleg DVDs.
