WATCH: Russian Army Sings 'Barbie Girl'
In the late 1990s, Will & Grace graced television screens in the United States, and on the other side of the world, a newly liberated Russian Republic was finding its place.
In 1997 the larger-than-life former mayor of Moscow, Boris Yeltsin, was president of Russia. And the Russian Army, which a few years before had chosen to side with him, took a moment to shoot a video of a unit strutting and belting out a cadence of the hit song "Barbie Girl" by Danish-Norweigan group Aqua.
Watch below as masculine Russian soldiers sing the gay anthem in 1997.

Now we have Putin's Russia where the LGBT community live in fear on a daily basis for their lives.
