Slava k svyateishy Rossii! (Glory to Holy Russia!) Glinka

[windstorm1000]

whatever one may think of Russia, they certainly have one of the most beautiful musical traditions on the planet. So stirring and colorful--I love listening to everybody from Glinka (here) to Stravinsky--and wish for a vodka tonic and blini while doing so!! Spossiva friends!!

[BritainiaNumberOne]

is this song composed during Russia's imperial time?

[Vostorgina01]

@BritainiaNumberOne Yes... composed by Glinka.

[BritainiaNumberOne]

@Vostorgina01 do you have a list of music about or dedicated to the russian monarchy? just asking :)

[Vostorgina01]

@BritainiaNumberOne Look through the vids that I've posted... there are quite a few with tsarist themes...

[RoyalSnowbird]

To speak of Holy Russia, the government should alloy more religious freedom = otherwise this song would not reflect the current reality which does not go far enough in terms of religious freedoms.

[Vostorgina01]

@RoyalSnowbird There's PLENTY of religious freedom. Cults and sectarians are subject to legal sanctions, yes, but NOT Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Lutherans, and Roman Catholics. C'mon... JWs, Mormons, and Pentecostalists aren't religions... they're cults.

I am not the biggest fan of Putin or Medvedev, but anyone is better than Yeltsin.

[Nevsly]

Desde España muchas gracias, un vídeo formidable, por la música y por las imágenes. Tan formidable como ese gran país.

¡Un saludo!

[Devochka57]

Long live mother Russia! You will always be number one in my heart!

[titusdugovic1]

Слава России! За Отечество!

[coolerking04]

It is good to see growth in the Russian Orthodox Church as well.

It is too bad that many Americans still view Russia as the Soviet Union/"Evil Empire."

[Ilic500]

i am happy to see russia heal from the chaos of the 1990s and i hope it can be a great power again

[h0h0L1k]

Россия вперед!

Путинскую мразь на кол!

[SilentSepia]

Pray that Russia and America can come together as Allies. We have similar histories. We both are pioneer nations, America had its Wild West...Russia had its Wild East, we are both spacefaring nations, we both are Christian lands, we are both scoffed at by the Western Europeans, China makes us both nervous, we both desire independent freedom from international organizations, we both face a threat from Muslim Extremist, we both have projected our militaries worldwide...COME TOGETHER!

[91Roundhouse]

@SilentSepia and then there's that tiny problem of the American goverment/NATO surrounding Russia with military bases. The whole "great game" and the conquest of Eurasia. Come together? LOL. Only under American bullying or military conquest will the two nations be bonded. How about. Everyone stops invading each other! That sounds better to me. Then we can see about coming together.

[SERBIANCOSSACK]

Слава!!!

[MosquitoTheRapist]

God bless Russia

The Great Changes are Coming Soon !!!

[sayeretmatkal17021]

why do nazi sympathizer ruppert murdock who owns fox news and the saudi loving newhouse family who owns the parent company of time/warner who owns cnn so anti Rossiyan, so anti Putin?it was Putin and Rossiya who gave the U.S. access to Rossiyan air space and bases for entry into afghanistan!observe how bush smirked and disdained the sympathy. what is it they fear? and why do they have a derogatory series titled "Tsar Putin" and not a series "der fuehrer bush and the saudi alliance"? why !!!!

[Bellringer1]

Believe it or not, Rupert Murdoch was Jewish. I hardly see how he can be a Nazi sympathiser...Russia is a great country, and has many traditions that survived despite communinism, such as the Russian Orthodox Church. These should be kept alive.

[sayeretmatkal17021]

Thank You Vostorgina01!!!! "condom lizard" rice made the statement "Rossiya is digging Herself into a hole." i LOVE the Rossiya reply"if we are digging a hole,then You will be the first thrown in!"

[LoveMusicAndSinging]

Мир к миру, и долгосрочной службы в России!

[hesslercommawinston]

have you people seen what the american government has done over the yesrs!what happened to all the natives!and the manchurian candidate!france&russia rule!

[Schtiel666]

Russia, yes.

France, no.

[biancademonet]

Correct on that.....France had its moment with Napoleon.....until they foolishly invaded Russia.......you'd have thought that fascists would have read their history to see attacking Russia is a bad idea. I'm American BTW. Russia and USA should WORK TOGETHER. With the bushevik junta gone that is once again possible. Bush was an evil criminal, plain and simple, worse he used religion to justify his actions. There is a place in hell awaiting the Busheviks!

[ArturoAlejandroS]

hahahaha.Busheviks,hahahahaa!

Very creative name...

You have reason,he lied and confused Christians in USA to support him.

[SilentSepia]

Bush used Christianity (the Evangelical-White Anglo Saxon-Secret Society-Zionist version) to promote a "Crusade"...a Christian Jihad as it were...upon anyone not in agreement with the NeoCon Fascist Agenda. GOD knows the truth! You are SO correct in saying that American and Russia should work together! They (Bush, Hagee, Palin, McCain) all see Russia as The Great Bogey Man of The North based on demented Eschatology.

[DANILISHINA]

Good work, Vostorgina! Thank you for this video and your kind words. Yes, I agree, most of people wisch to live in peace and there is no difference between US citizen, Russian, Asia´s people etc. All of us feel the sam pain if we are ill or loosing best friends and family...as to the voting, I am very interested how it will be! No sword, but peace...so I admire Hillary. Yours Natali.

[linimiki]

Outstanding video. Long life for Russia

[letufi]

It is as you say,think about Iraq...only sorrow-

It makes me happy if russsians desire peace-

Great celebrations we can see in you video-

God bless you and your conutry-

God bless americans too-So people can understand an respect each other-

[letufi]

thanks for sharing!

Peace for the world-

[Vostorgina01]

Yes. Russians desire peace, so does President Putin. Virtually all Americans desire peace, too. There are only some extreme neocons who wish to export "democracy" by the sword. May they be voted out this November!

[dsindc]

Spasiba Vostorgina01 - I'm American and yes we want peace desperately. We have come to despise the criminal in the white house. We believed his lies and can only hope the world will forgive us. We should return to the era that brought Russia and USA together to defeat the greatest evil in history- The Great Patriotic War. We will return to our former place in the world. Pray for us !. Slava Rossiya !!

[91Roundhouse]

@Vostorgina01 They'll probably never be voted out. It's a plutocracy with limited democracy being practiced, much like most other countries today. The difference, for example, of an Iranian election and an American election is thus: in an American election no matter who gets voted in they will do exactly what the previous administraion did, and will most likely break every promise they made to get elected. An Iranian election, by contrast, would actually cause a change in that country.
