It is amazing how after all those years the memory remains. She impressed the audiance to the level they burst into tears.
She was moving with emotion...it was not only art actualy.

Anyway, I wish I was able to understand russian! This is great piece of Sand-Theatre. Also, those works can be fixed by using fixasive spray. Also, the whole glass can have white or Aluminum back-round to sit on the wall.

Thank you. I am impressed and may watch it many times.

Thank you Marsho.it's not only a nice piece of art but a good mixture of art and the history of Ukrine.Every thing was peaceful and good, then suddenly you hear radio Moscow making the annoucment that "the Germans invaded our land" which meant the start of World War II.

I enjoyed watching it so thank you again Marsho,

Hello Marsho,

I lived in Moscow before for few years so I speak Russian but I did n't use it for long time so my Russian is not as strong as it used to be before.

Thanks you,

Приветик Зефир (Hello Marshmallow)
I was actually going to email you about this video... really, truly, because I thought it was something you would find amazing. I'm glad you discovered it for yourself.

The words she wrote at the end:
Ты всегда рядом
they mean you're always near/close, kind of like, we'll always keep you in our thoughts.

The songs were lovely too - I think the intro song was from Schindler's List - then, it was Russian singer Марk Бернес (Mark Bernes - the Frank Sinatra of Russia)singing Темная ночь (A Dark night) & Журавли (Cranes). Then Apocalyptica doing a wonderful cover version of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

A Dark Night lyrics

A dark gloomy night
only bullets whistle in the steppe
only the wind roars in the wires
the stars dimly shine

In the dark gloomy night
you my beloved I know do not sleep
and at the child's crib out of sight
you wipe a tear


How I love
the depth of you sweet eyes
how I want
to press against them now with my lips

The dark gloomy night
separates us my beloved
and the cold dark steppe
has lain between us

Death doesn't frighten me
I've met her not once in the steppe
and here now
it is circling above me

You are awaiting me
and at the crib do not sleep
and so I know
nothing will happen to me

Wow Mr. Ghost,

That is interesting...every one starts speaking Russian suddenly hahah but me...

The song lyrics are moving and the words are familiar too me cuz I've lived such days and nights in three wars.

I should have been an artist.
