Don't Play the Fool, America! (Russian: Не Валяй Дурака, Америка!) is a music video released by Russian rock band Lyube in 1992, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Cold War. note The USSR was still alive and operational during the filming of this video in 1991. It's a satirical play on anti-American propaganda (without literally being one itself) that cries for the return of Alaska to Russia along with some decries of American culture. It utilizes some of the most sophisticated computer animation and hand-drawn animation utilized by Russia at the time, though the United States had accomplished these feats long before Russia had. The lead singer is Nikolay Rastorguev, a controversial musician blacklisted and banned from Ukraine for attacking said country, who provides most of the singing as he does with most of the band's music.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This video is not banned from the United States, but unsurprisingly did not get any major broadcasting deals in American media either. This is considered Lyube's Signature Song since it's their best recognized and most acclaimed song in Russia. | |

Artistic License – History: The band makes it out like America stole Alaska, when really the Russians sold it to America centuries ago and back then Russia had no idea how rich in natural reserves Alaska was. | |

Artistic License – Geography: The band sings that Americans must be freezing more so than Russians. Despite that Russians avoid the vast majority of their own country's land which is frozen tundra. | |
