Russian Red Army Choir - Kalinka.

"Kalinka" might be the best-known Russian song of all time. It has been mistaken as being a genuine folksong, but was actually written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed. Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group.
The song celebrates a snowball tree, with a speedy tempo and light-hearted lyrics. Singers and dancers many a time get into a frenzied celebration of song and dance while performing this song. The actual content of the song cannot be translated, as it possesses many Russian expressions and words that can hold a double meaning and have no equivalent in other languages.

In 2003, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea FC. Since then, "Kalinka" has been associated with the London based Football Club and is often played before or after important matches.

  • Great, I love Red Army Choir, I hope I can attend to one of their world tours. Russian folklore is unique and beautiful

  • @666sicklife I'm also proud that my great country also has the ability to deny idiots like you citizenship. That is the first thing we need is a fat mongolian running around cussing at every American he sees. Have fun living in the third world for the rest of your pathetic existence cause I will sleep well at night knowing I earn more in a day than your village earns in a week.

    PS I saw your videos, your fat and ugly.

  • @666sicklife Oh wow we got a scholar on our hands, a highschool grad who couldn't even get his green card in a country where people flood in for free. This whole comment alone tells me you barely got that diploma. "fucking cracker cunt"? are you too stupid that you can't talk like a civilized human and not cuss every five seconds? besides this has nothing to do with the video or you defending your obviously raw sewage infested pit called mongolia.

AND you went straight to the mom insults!? I bet you never seen a classroom in your pitiful existence have you? Here I feel so bad for you I'll give you a little spelling lesson. We don't spell dat with a D its That...T H A T. that. Got it? probably not, mongolians are like the retards of asia but its ok i'm patient.
