2003 hit single by Bulgarian pop star Grobis. The accompanying video was controversial for the singer’s homoerotic antics with a Vladimir Putin lookalike under the hoses of a drive-through car wash, and it occasioned a breakup between Grobis and his manager-songwriter Vadim Glebov.
(Translated from the song’s refrain)
Perestroika, perestroika, let’s build our our love upon these ruins
Lick the dust of the past from my eyes, and I will embrace you like a wizard.
The all-scale, often economical, change that occured in the 80's in the Soviet Union. Ultimately, perestroika collapsed the age of the Soviets. Now, the Soviet Union is called the CIS (Commonwealth of Independant States), aka : Russia.
"We live in a sadage...imperialism...totalitarianism...perestroika..."

The economical programme pioneered by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986, including social reform in the name of glasnost, allowing more economical and political freedoms to the Soviet populace. As populary mentioned, this programme was not the cause of the collapse of the already weakened Soviet Union but merely a catalyst for that inevitable event.
Perestroika was a step in the right direction, allowing the populace of the USSR to formulate their own devices for the future, thereby collapsing the USSR atop themselves, willingly and rightfully. Hail Mikhail Gorbachev!

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
