@Tytunj I think, in the interest of world peace we'll just leave it at that shall we? You think it is all Soviet propaganda to belittle the smaller states for the glory of Mother Russia. I thought it was some children in nice frocks dancing about. Silly me. Bye bye.

[Tytunj]

@MrFrontallobotomy you confuse primitivieness with simplicity. Folk things are simple but not primitive while they have sense (in differenc from laser show and cat suits). Just believe me, that kind of "folk" has no earthy grass roots (as you wrote) in Belarus. This style of dancing and clothes was invented in offices of communist folklorists. They invented new fairy-tales, folk songs etc while real stories contradicted their ideology. This is a substitution to make people to forget their roots.

@Tytunj primitivization? would you prefer the children dress in black cat suits and the music they danced to played on synthesizers with banks of Marshall amplifers in the background. How about a laser show as well?? Why not just get them to play some Pink Floyd! I thought folk music was primitive and that was its beauty. Earthy grass roots music played by everyday people.
