Russian Academic Ensemble. Aleksandrova presented to the public his new clip, which was posted on his own channel of the most popular video hosting YouTube. The clip is called "Muscovites are jumping the hopak."
The details of the original video were released on Tuesday June 10 by the Russian Ministry of Defense, and members of the ensemble filmed a fiery Ukrainian dance. Subtitles were added to the video, which said that the "Aleksandrovites" had to dance the Ukrainian hopak in different parts of the world: Warsaw, New York, London, Odessa, Paris, the Kremlin, Berlin, Kiev and other cities of different countries. They make it clear to each viewer that culture has no boundaries except those that were invented by people on their own.
The clip ends with the phrase “It's better to dance than to fight” and a picture where the Ukrainian ensign and the Russian tricolor are tied together in a strong knot. In this way, the authors of the video and members of the Alexandrov ensemble appeal to the new president, Petro Poroshenko. They hope that their musical gift will help bring peace to Ukraine.
The video became a real hit in less than a day and gained more than 300,000 views. Its name contains a certain ironic note. This is how the “Aleksandrovtsy” played up the slogan “He who doesn’t jump is a Muscovite,” which the nationalists tirelessly shouted on the Maidan.
The ensemble recently toured Crimea and managed to dance their hopak many times during the tour. In addition to this Ukrainian folk dance, the repertoire of the Russian ensemble includes more than a dozen of Ukrainian songs and dances.
Recall that in the southeastern part of Ukraine between the Kiev troops and the supporters of the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, fighting has been going on for the second month. The new Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, announced the need to lay down arms, but so far this statement is just empty words. The fighting continues at the moment.
