With its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, “Friendly Father” is reminiscent of an Abba track – but with a Soviet-sounding twist.
While experts say the song is a calculated attempt to feed state propaganda to the masses, TikTokkers are just enjoying the tune. Posts about the song have garnered millions of likes.
“On Spotify when,” one user wrote.
“This song is like the end of a movie where the whole town gathers together and sings in unity while spinning in a circle,” said another of the upbeat video.
