Moscow Orthodox hold a flash mob as a sign of friendship with Ukrainе
More than 50 people together with the groups "Yarilov Znoi (Yarilo Heat)", "Brothers Cossacks" and "Rusalen" sang the famous Ukrainian song "Unharness, boys, horses" at the Kiev railway station of Moscow.
"We just came up with the idea and all around strongly supported it. Schoolboys, students, adults – everyone wanted to support the action held in the cities of Ukraine. We had to act with caution not to disclose the information and accidentally attract too many people to the Kiev railway station," said the initiators of the flash mob.
"One font, culture, history, language is what unites the people of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, this is a fact that has been true for centuries. We all want to demonstrate that with whatever political intrigue nobody will be able to incite hatred and enmity between us. I wish that the brothers and sisters from other cities supported the flash mob, which we propose to call # SpoemVmeste, and sonorous folk song swept everywhere," stated the members of the movement.
The action was carried out in response to the flash mob, arranged by students in Kiev and Kharkov, and was held simultaneously with the flash mob in Odessa, where dozens of people sang "Smuglyanka" from the Soviet film "Only Old Men Are Going to Battle".
