This song is about the Soviet Union's rise and collapse, the effect it had on the the USSR itself, Russia, and especially the people. How Stalin and Lenin (Stalingrad and Leningrad, cities names after the leaders of the revolution and people who pushed it further) were idolized and their statues are still in Moscow's park. Vandalized and whatnot, but they're a reminder of the completely different times. I dunno if anybody else wrote about this. It just makes sense because she is Russian and she came here around the collapse of the Soviet Union. She seems connected and Russia is effin sweeet.. Kind of love song too. Maybe a comparison.
