"Our response to Chamberlain," the winged expression and name of the rock band

In 1927, the British government sharply reacted to the Soviet Union's support of the Kuomintang (People's Party) in China. Later it turned out that this political force was not at all a friend of the world communist movement, and there was not much to argue about, at least with the British, but there was a reason for the conflict. The harsh words contained in the note signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the British Empire Austin Chamberlain angered the leadership of the USSR. Her tone was really harsh, and although the British did not have real opportunities for intervention, Soviet people did not remain silent.

Nothing is as close as a common external enemy. Under the slogan "Our response to Chamberlain," all rallied: shepherds from the pastoral pastures, and Uzbek cotton growers, steelworkers, and builders of DnieproGES, in general, all the working people of the world's first proletarian state. Every grown sheep, a welded pud of pig iron, a nut baked at a bread baking plant or a nut screwed into a locomotive became not just an industrial achievement. This was our reply to Chamberlain, the arrogant, arrogant lord in a tuxedo and with a monocle, looking arrogantly at the working people of Soviet Russia and, obviously, despising the English proletarians.

Apparently, the British minister himself did not suspect about the abnormal popularity of his own name on one sixth of the land. It was dotted on matchboxes, posters, leaflets and other products of the Soviet agitprop, and the caricature image of Joseph Austin scared away from mighty kulaks, kukishi, air squadrons, locomotives, Red Army bayonets, sheaves of wheat and fat cows. This was our reply to Chamberlain, and if he knew that his ill-fated note would cause such mass enthusiasm, he would certainly have refused the thought of it.

The politician died in 1937, and his name would have been forgotten long ago in our country, like other cast-off luminaries of the British royal political sky. Today, few remember Baldwin, Lloyd George or Macmillan, but our memory of Chamberlain was remembered, and, apparently, this expression was included in the number of winged phrases of the Russian language for good. So they denote a decisive rebuff, sometimes ironically, and sometimes seriously.

Many have already forgotten, and others never knew about the political conflicts of the second half of the twenties. Today, few will appreciate the latent humor contained in the response of the working people to the British lord, as well as in the hundreds of warnings made in the 1950s by the PRC government against the US, each of which was "last and serious." But there is a rock band called "Reply Chamberlain." Songs of this collective to the policy of the first post-revolutionary decade do not have a relationship, but they are quite interesting in all other respects, favorably differing from the pop-popped pop music. "Bullets", "Aty-bats", "In Heaven", "Stroller - Thunder", "Anyway" - these and other compositions are worth listening to fans of album rock. "Reply Chamberlain" - a group from Bryansk. She is already a good fifteen years old, today she is becoming popular throughout the post-Soviet space. Well, the answer was a little late, but still, in a good time!
