Flashmob in Ukraine's Zaporozhia
© Unknown
In an innovative way of showing discontent with the Russophobia that the governing nationalistic elite in Ukraine is known for, a trend of flash mobs singing songs in Russian is spreading like wildfire in Ukraine. It has also spread to Russia and Moldova where flash mobs in solidarity with their Slavic brothers and sisters in Ukraine are singing Ukrainian songs. The joy and emotion that can be seen in the videos by the bystanders speaks for itself.

About the beginning Lada Ray writes:
The newest thing the Kiev junta is doing is banning Russian language during school breaks. Teachers caught speaking Russian will be fired.

In the atmosphere of the oppression, the people are finding ways to resist in a beautiful and inspiring way, by performing Russian-Soviet songs at train stations.

It began on November 13 in Zaporozhye, the large industrial city in Eastern Ukraine, located next to Donbass. The city of Zaporozhye is located in the very center of the ancestral Zaporozhskie Cossack territories. Zaporozhye means basically 'beyond the white waters.' It is located on the banks of the river Dnepr and it is the white waters of the river that gave it its name. The city was founded by the Russian tsars; in 1930s it became the center of the Soviet industrialization. It is the sight of the famous symbol of the Soviet industrialization DneproGes (Dnepr Hydroelectric Station). It is also the home to the metallurgical giant Zaporozhstal' (Zaporozhye Metal Plant). Europe's largest nuclear power plant is also built here. I again want to stress that everything that has been built in Zaporozhye was built by either the Russian Empire or the USSR. During its 25 years of 'independence' Ukraine built nothing of significance.

Soon other cities followed :

Kharkov, the 2nd largest city in Ukraine and the former capital, was next.


Then Odessa:


Then a solidarity response from Kiev train station in Moscow:


Then Dnepropetrovsk:


Then Donetsk:


Then Lipetsk (southeast of Moscow, the song is Ukrainian):


Lugansk:


Chisinau (Moldova):


Mariupol:


The show of defiance continues and so does the solidarity with the Russian world and it has now even reached Rome:
