 Russian dance at its best!Jul 04, 2009
By C. Averill
This was filmed during the cold war Soviet Union days and so some of the film quality doesn't match our descerning digital tastes, but the subject matter more than makes up for that. The Russian dancing is done by soldiers who really know how perform marvelously. This is a DVD that is worth watching over and over.

Always a unique experienceJan 25, 2009
By Charles Allard
"cdallard"
These were different times, they will never return exactly as they were, see the most spectacular mixed performances for slavic folk song and dance which ever were. The Red Army may return to its former glory, but we will have to wait and see if the budget can be found for the Ministry of Culture. Beginning from the Revolution as a handful of men and women who went East to inspire, instruct and entertain the Red Army (still under Leon Trotsky) this was the group who braved more than 17 nations who would attack the Soviet Union during the years it existed, always keeping the faith and always maintaining the highest order of quality of performance and art. Get this while you still can!! Someday they may be, again, what they were.. Their performances during the last few years were still spectacular, but their number has shrunk. Lets hope that Vlad and Dimitri can find the money ... somewhere ... to ensure their return to their former, unique, greatness.

A step back in timeSep 06, 2010

I purchased this as a gift for my husband who is a military history buff. He loves it! These are the originals and it's like opening up a time capsule. These men have terrific voices, and the dancing is incredible.

 No little gold statue for this mobNov 03, 2011
By Drake Halstead
"Tune monger"
Ever see a movie with a great story but the casting was so so or the cinematography left something to be desired? That applies to this video. If you wish to educate yourself, you could well find value in it.
This is what you would expect from The Soviet Union. Big scary guys in uniform. My guess is, this was from the 1950's or 60's. Propaganda for civilian consumption. Their uniforms were an update of the "Great Patriotic War" (WWII) uniform typical of Stalin. They looked like the stereotypical Russian communist. A far cry from the loveable mob you might have seen in "Red Star"
To their credit, they perform well. Acrobatics abundent. I can't praise their singing since Anatoly's troupe has spoiled me. I only watched this once, not multiple times as with Red Star or Alexandrov's performance in Paris in '05. I found it to be more educational than entertaining. You might feel differently. It's not bad, it's just not my "Brand of Vodka".
