Nu Pogodi (Just You Wait!) was a popular Soviet-era cartoon series. Here, old clips from the series are matched with Russian pop/rock standards. I think that this is the Russian equivalent of the Road Runner and the Coyote… and my Nicky agrees with me!
Russians and Serbians have always been allies and friends. We are united by our common Orthodox Faith, and there is no Russian alive who does not support our Serbian kin without reservation. Kosovo je Srbija!
“It is very small part of all Moscow churches”. :-) A Serbian cyber-friend sent the link to this video.
I was watching vids on You-Tube today, and I came across the lovely little gem. It is photographs taken at the monastery at Valaam, and I recommend it highly. Indeed, I rated it a “favourite” and placed it on one of my playlists!
The Peredvizhniki artwork of Vladimir Makovsky combines with Petula Clark singing a Russian-themed song in French. Russian, English, and French, oh my! (It works, though. That is all that matters!!)
The neo-Impressionist Russian nature art of Vladimir Shcherbinin joins forces with Jean Ferrat singing La Montagne (The Mountain).
The contemporary art of Pyotr Bezrukov is paired with a French song by Julien Clerc, Ce N’Est Rien (It is nothing). Some of the paintings are of Paris, so, the use of a French song naturally came to mind.
The title of the song seems to fit the mood of the paintings, so I retained it as the title of the video. A French song by Demis Roussos is matched with the art of the Tartar neo-Impressionist painter Nurkhatim Bikulov. Mr Bikulov has been active for over forty years as an artist, and these paintings span the entire period. The first painting dates from 1973, and the last from 2002, and they document the lasting love of Mr Bikulov for his wife (and it shows their love for their grandchildren in the last image).
The Tartar people have been part of Russia since the sixteenth century. They are brave and courageous, and their men are famed for their toughness and determination. Tartars have always fought well for Russia (a Tartar general is the head of the MVD), and their contribution to Greater Russia cannot be denied. They are a integral and necessary part of our Russian heritage. The Tartars are both Muslims and loyal Russian citizens (only a few unrepresentative Muslims are Islamocist bandits!). All glory to our Tartar compatriots!
