1. "The Hawthorn Tree" is a Soviet-era folk song that can be heard on many occasions, such as weddings and dances. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that "The Hawthorn Tree" is a banned song.
2. Some people may associate "The Hawthorn Tree" with a particular historical period or event, such as the breakup of the Soviet Union or a political event, and therefore consider the song to be politically sensitive or controversial. However, this does not mean that the song itself is problematic, but rather that people have different perspectives on history and politics.
