Cossack dance - Ukrainian dance

[@CommanderBohn]

Vostroyan Firstborn in a nutshell when off battle.

[@GasMaskTrenchCoat]

Hell, even during battle. But with more lasers and Xeno corpses.

[@CommanderBohn]

GasMaskTrenchCoat And shooting Deathstrike Missiles at Chaos Worshippers with the words "GREETINGS FROM VOSTROYA" painted over them.

haha 1d4chan

[@skryreprototype1826]

Just another day in the guard, tovarishch.

My Dad was a Ukrainian Cossack dancer, and he could dance any dance and loved ballroom dancing with my Mom, also Ukrainian. xxoo to Ukraine from Canada

[@Новокаховчани]

Будьмо ЗАВЖДИ СОБОЮ , браття та сестрички !!! Вітаю всіх зі святами ..! БУДЬМО !!!

[@LadyEmilyElizabeth]

That is amazing! They're all so talented, graceful, and co-ordinated!

[@MarkoGolubovic996]

Holy shit! O.o Well man..Im Serbian..Always loved Ukraine...I really think that i will one day come to that wonderfull land..And i really want to watch Cossaks live..

[@k3hw]

Amazing- I have never seen anything like this in my life! Bravo!

[@chengloki]

Dez, as an old Ukie, I thank you. "Mno Haiya Lita". =Stefan=

[@Roadrun98]

Anyone else think this was the beginning to a monty python sketch?

[@haires03]

beautiful dance! vigorous, symmetric, harmonious! thanks ukranian people, for this gift.

[@Thagomizor]

Well my opinion is THIS DANCE IS AWESOME!

[@TheHayasa]

very nice dance. Respect

[@Lotta38LaNiKu]

Классно танцуют, молодцы. Вот что значит - школа ;))

[@chengloki]

Dez, I wasn't there.I can only imagine that they were shouting "I sh'chor razs", or "Bilshe". (No Cyrillic on this machine). It means the same as when we say "Hanna Hou" here in Hawai'i. Encore!! More! =Stefan=

[@ukrayinets1]

I seen this group perform this Ukrainian Kozak dance in Montreal long ago. It's called the "Herculean Spear Drill". Enjoy!

[@ErinnBastias]

Thats just so great :) I love the music, and the dance is awesome.

[@leomrln]

great!

[@517342]

I don't dare to close this video because I think it would be disrespectful to these great men.

[@Kaiquintos]

this looks so fun to do :D

[@limitles]

I agree with sandrik, there should be no reason to be hateful towards anyone. In reality the animosity only exists in the minds of people who create it for themselves. Most of current inhabitants of western russia and ukraine have such intermixed ancestry that it is no longer possible to say who is of what ethnicity. And we all understand that! Lets all love each other, we're all human!!! The world would be a better place.

[@MarkoGolubovic996]

Woah! Thanks man...Really needed that info..Well..I know for sure...Cossacks are one hell of an army...:)

[@PeterChudolij88]

Slava Ukraiini! Heroiem Slava! I just wanted to say thank and praise irynski for his knowledge and back up Ukraine. I am Ukrainian and belong to CYM (spilki ykraiinsokii molod ) and am fed-up entirely with peoples ignorant comments of how Ukraine and Russia are one and the same, they aren't even close! Thanks irynski!

[@AOua741]

Fantastic!!! really awesome!!!

[@karenpenrod1779]

We have our Ukrainian heritage at our fingertips!.... Our grandmothers & grandfathers would have loved too.♥️🦋

[@daniils.6868]

there are also Ural cossacks who were formed naturally in Russia. So the meaning of the word "cossack" is very common to both Russian and Ukrainian culture which mean and a military man ( when sense of life is a horse and a weapon ). But Ukranian cossacks known mostly as totally crazy (often drunk) warriors with almost unhuman abilities in horse riding while spending life in steppes. And they fought for ukrainian traditions and culture, language and folklore. That's the difference

[@Angelaimmedi]

Bellissimo video!!!

[@missaneska]

haven\t seen this one for ages!!!!

[@joinmeforacupotea]

Looks awesome! When was this movie made?

[@chepera]

Great performance!

[@Vovk3]

@DJMikaelito I have respect for you Kuban kozaki. You're descended from the mighty Zaporozhians!

[@lolkrillin]

ohh man, I'm on that part of youtube again

[@McBrannon1000]

@effervescentjoy, There was a Ukrainian kid in my senior class, and for history class he had his Grandfather come in and talk about the Holodomor. It definitely raised the goosebumps.

[@elmachucho]

Maravilloso! exelente..........

[@theukieman]

Best spear dance i have ever seen.

[@myyaoibetch]

@ViolinPro88 That's Ukrainian. The letters are in the Cyrillic alphabet. It's quite easy to understand, but most people are used to the Latin alphabet. It's been in use for over a thousand years, so it's safe to say that people know what it means. It's just another alphabet, like the Greek alphabet (which Cyrillic was loosely based off of initially). In case you were wondering, the highest comments are "Long live Ukraine" and "Kozak forever".

[@zharyan0089]

nice greetings from slovenia

[@wowu5]

I like how they merge the dance with the formation element of pikemen.

[@myyaoibetch]

@poll669 lol A friends of mine was talking to some colleagues in Ukrainian and when they finished chatting, they said that it was nice to meet someone who also spoke Polish. It's amazing that neither of them even thought that they were speaking "different" languages.

[@EsaulRuss]

The best military folk!

[@EsaulRuss]

Long Live Ukraine !

[@BaronVonKenny]

That's good to know. Are there any movies about cossacks that aren't musicals? It'd be cool to see them fighting.

[@Westyrulz]

Very Military.Its like a drill on a parade ground.

[@BaronVonKenny]

Awesome video, though the song sounded a little like Dixie. I'm assuming the Cossack's kicked ass in battle since they have all those crazy moves.

[@cf2830]

Nice!

[@RNSDM]

this dance is supposed to represent zaporizhian cossacks from the sich (a fortified island in the Dneipr river)and their training with different weaponry.

[@UrsusRex93]

@IIKainII1 Ukraina means U kraya or Okraina - borderland, or on the edge. It doesnt mean inner state.

[@effervescentjoy]

@Westyrulz: Also, the languages are EXTREMELY different. They may sound similar to someone who doesn't speak any slavic languages, but arguing that they are the same is like saying that Italian and Spanish are the same language- they may look and sound similar, but there are too many differences for much meaningful crossover. This is not to be confused with the fact that many modern Ukrainians speak Russian- this is a result of the control Ukrainian schools by the USSR.

[@DeivizOfSnC]

@mjufpn also, if you fail to see the bigger picture, folk also evolves. It should not be stopped short only by recreating the old, but also it should persist on creating new things. In time they will become the newer folk (as me and my friends call it - pop-folk, only 200 years old), and it will integrate into the traditional culture as-well. In case of people like you, the western culture will become your folk, and you will become a mankurt (if you don't know what it means, google it).

[@spitas93]

nice show :)

[@JanZhizhka]

В книзі Івана Ле "Зіновій" було сказано, що польські гусари були найкращими майстрами фехтування! Два реєстрових козака за одного гусара. Про січових козаків нічого не скажу, швидше за все - краще. Хоча польські гусари - еліта польської армії, і далеко не основна частина армії. А щодо стрілкової майстерності і тактики ведення боїв, козаки випередили час(техніка швидкої стрільби, окопи, "табір").

[@chengloki]

Totoro, I have to agree with you, Kozaks can hold there on in a fair fight, Husars never could. What Viz doesn't realize, is that the main Kozak strength was the horsemen with sabers. Kozaks still live today, I am one. =Stefan=

[@pedalboardgeorge]

I had this for a dance song ones

[@CTimmerman]

I think 6:33 is the famous part you've all been waiting for.

[@BratWody]

Yea, think that Polish film "With Fire and Sword" would bhe cool for you, on TY there are some parts of it.

[@nederle]

How is the name of the song?

[@dimon37]

Хорошие заборы делают хорошими соседей.

[@Westyrulz]

@jakkinshoyru But there are also Cultural similarties between Mother Russia & Ukraine.Most Ukrainians belong to Russian Orthodox church.Language is very similiar.Both people are Slavs and the list goes on.

[@leekduck3929]

the tambourine guys made me lol

[@LykaOd]

I've searched in web and can say that German jaegers were dressed in absolutely another way. ;)

[@Klonsebia]

@snowbunnyrock Where did you learn russian?

[@ioangrozny]

tremendous

[@pivhucul]

same way army was dressed up in encient Egypt, check out the egipsian drawings !!!

[@moreuz1]

@IIKainII1 Ok, then what "krai" means?

[@SchmaziFPS]

Hey hey im part ukrainian gimme attention

[@DJMikaelito]

@irynski Girl,Lady i didnt knew you were female....so sry if i some how offended you.

[@EsaulRuss]

@ViolinPro88 What do you mean "stupid symbols"? are you talking about alphabet?

[@UrgentementeUK]

@mjufpn either that... or they send their Mig-29's after them :)

[@Gaoshin]

please show me turkish ore mongolian military dances ,really, if you have a any reference

[@betterdonotanswer]

Because it's comfortable? All the traditional cossacks' features (special haircut, long mustache, earring, loose pants) are described by Byzantine historians since from IX-X centuries, Ottoman Empire is mush younger. Those features were probably partly influenced by the remnant Sarmatians, assimilated by Slavs earlier. But, they were Iranians, not Turks. And of course, there were no red pants at all, it's a scenic cliche.

[@DJMikaelito]

[@STALKER1918]

right words, my friend! don't let the enemy over the ocean to ruin european slavic unity!

[@Ravenex2]

Zangief uses the Cossack dance to strengthen his leg muscles.

[@JanZhizhka]

найкращою кіннотою в свій час була татарська. Польські гусари - важка кіннота топтала всіх на своєму шляху, але неповоротка і не така практична як татарська, я вже не кажу про її вартість. Січові, українські козаки - піхота і моряки(схоже на вікінгів), можливо окремі козаки і були хорошими вершниками, але кінноті придавалося значно менше уваги(кардинальна відмінність від Донських). Саме тому спільне україно-татарське військо - ідеальний варіант.

[@khlopchyshyn]

Хай живе Україна!

[@myyaoibetch]

@effervescentjoy To support your point, I speak some Ukrainian, but I can't follow Russian at all in conversation.

[@maxim1986]

@mjufpn they would need some pretty long sticks

[@daniils.6868]

it was natural for an honored Ukrainian family to have weapons in their house and horses. Farthers used to teach their sons to fight, shoot and ride horses from the moment when kids begin to walk. And if war happens - all grown up men leave their families, take weapons and join in a large army. It wasn't a regular army like in any other state. It was part of the culture, and they(ukrainian cossacks) were the first who adopted republic in their cultural states during that times.

[@daniils.6868]

Kuban Cossacks managed to save some from Ukrainian culture in their sociaty. They still exist and live in Russia very close to Ukrainian borders. They even speak in a language which have both Russian and Ukrainian words. These *fights* on youtube doesn't really matter as the people who keep cossacks traditions live both in Russia and Ukraine and I think they don't care about these stupid comments :) you will find many *fights* in Russian-Ukrainian vids because of nationalists

[@cossack207]

Taras Bulba with Yul Brynner isn't too bad of a film to see

[@fieldgen]

very interesting how they manage to combinate martial arts and dance... it's just a tiny little bit too warlike, if you ask me... great dancing though! compliments!

[@KTM400EXCrider]

Zaporozhye!

[@UrsusRex93]

Македонская фаланга отдыхает. Мужики молодцы ))

[@DeivizOfSnC]

@mjufpn How can something that your ancestors protected,cherished and built be embarrassing?I would wish that in my country there would be folk - culture on every corner. Alas, in my country it is decaying, and only a few people try to salvage what is left from the massive amounts of cultural information, of cultural treasure. I, myself, belong to a few nations, Lithuanian, Latvian, Russian and Ukrainian as-well. And i hope i will get the opportunity to work with all of them.

[@LykaOd]

It's traditional Cossaks dress

[@EsaulRuss]

@IIKainII1 Exactly! It was a Russian propoganda to say that Ukraine means borderland. But they can do nothing about the fact that in OUR UKrainian language "U" means "IN" and Kraina means Country, so Ukraine or Ukraina more proper means "in the country or simply "country"

[@Magratka]

right, and Kozak's never drinked and womanized. funny tale :D

[@fedeymini]

this reminds me of WIZARD OF OZ.. HAHA

[@waldenstern]

Шановні патріоти! Дуже прошу Вас: не відповідайте на моксельскі виперди. Хай собі смердять - це їхня улюблена справа, чин не єдине, що їм добре вдається. Не витрачайте на них свій дорогоцінний час та енергію, яку можна спрямувати в конструктивне русло. Слава Україні!

[@daniils.6868]

and yes, everyone were afraid of their army during that glorious times (17th century). You can watch this short vid: watch?v=nDI2K_GdMZk watch?v=eNUz-EvBLWE where cossacks give a short perfomance in Kiev nowadays. Imagine a cavalry of these people running at crazy speed at your lines :) should be scarefull

[@ithrilzyne4542]

Daniil S. I was at 1:34 when I read that last part and glanced up.

[@thefluffyshrimp]

He's saying that they're not pretending to be.

[@ru84able]

@irynski раньше до 1920 небыло никакой украины, в прошлом была киевская русь , потом малая русь, украинцы это русские, я русский и на половину украинец , но я считаю себя русским, украинцы и русские одна нация и дожны быть одной единой страной

[@zerstorer335]

They probably did... the question is whether or not they really did these things any more than the other fighting men of the time.

[@Borat911]

I like both Ukraine and Russia, both should be verry proud of their culture and history. but Why ? can't they stand each other ??

[@muras100]

or Kircholm - 3000 poles against 14000 swedes, We crushed them. Behind husars we had infantry - who killed what survived... Husars was a powe- its a fact but instead of it we shoud live in peace and in brotherhood. Slawa Polsce i Ukrainie!

Ни нэ згодни, колысь мабуть так и було, але ж нэ зараз?
