Eduard Khil, of Trololo fame, died five years ago

It seems like yesterday, but Trololo — the internet-fueled renaissance of a perfectly demented Soviet echo of midcentury western light-entertainment bullshit — is almost a decade old. And the savant behind it, Eduard Khil, died this day five years ago, after too-briefly enjoying his sudden international fame. Google made an animated doodle in his honor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaCz_SFrTaU

I can't decide what was the last gasp of the web's aughts-era wonder: Trololo or Rammstein feat. Cookie Monster.
