Dance of the Zaporozhian/Ukrainian Cossacks

Cossacks are awesome!

cossacks spoke more than russian. Besides the russian from the 16th century is slightly different than today. Oh and yes we dance.

nah, but they way these guys' have their hair done tells my that they're ukrainian, and also at like 1:55, they say something(i wasnt paying attention) but it wasnt in russian (i am russian) also, even though it was the Soviet Union, ther were still differences between russians, and ukrainians.

Yes, they did

Soviet or not...this is a great video...and pure folk art!

ça nous réveille et ça fait du bien.

SLAVAV UKAINI! This is such a famous Ukrainian painting and these is authentic Ukrainian dancing! Solkovsky is correct! But-Torkvemada is no Ukrainian. No Ukrainian would say such non-truths - only a Russian!

Are those actual cossack dance steps or is this ballet? Curious. Did cossacks really dance?

Why do so many people have to turn innocent videos into "hostility festivals"? Can't you just enjoy what's on here and be quiet, or at least allow the REST of us to enjoy them???

You know, it's no wonder that wars get started. For God's sake, everybody, GROW UP!!!

man!!! dancers were so good back in the day

yeah.. it's either Ua or Ukie, but not Uk... and I personally dislike Ukie, but whatever

If the title says Soviet, then stop saying that it's totally Ukrainian, and judging by the way that they're dressed, they are indeed not Russian. Take it for what it is and comment on the damn video and not on political propaganda.

For crying out loud, either learn how to type in English or Ukrainian or Russian. The comments here have idiocies like russin and ukrainen. It's слава козакам, not slava kazakiv; if you want to educate yourself about the warrior traditions, then open up Wikipedia. If you just want to brawl, then use a blog and leave all the people who just want to see the video in peace.

Every time i want to send a link to a friend to show them about our dances I rethink it it due to comments of stupid people fighting on youtube and if it will cause defacing the culture. Brave computer fighters of cossacks and russians, pols, soviets, turks, etc. I really wish the owners of these videos would delete these crap and disable comments!

I am a cossack and I think this Uk and russ BS is just stupid. Every ethnic dance video on youtube is poluted with this BS.
