Niet Molotoff

Niet Molotoff is a Finnish song composed during the Winter War to mock the invading Soviets. It was composed by Matti Jurva and lyrics being made by Tatu Pekkarinen.[1] Jurva first recorded the song in 1942 with a group named Kristalli-Tanssiorkesteri conducted by George de Godzinsky. The orchestral accompaniment of the recording was arranged by Robert von Essen.[2]

The song is making fun of the Red Army's failure in the Winter War. Its main target was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vyacheslav Molotov.

It was reinterpreted by Solistiyhtye Suomi as Njet Molotoff in 1989.[3]
