Track from the Belarusian team on the poems by Russian poet Boris Red for several months, sets the trends. Here are just a grim sense of the source material is easily mixed with the usual resilient rollers users.

It all began with a clip of Leonid Vertinskogo now living in the United States, with the cutting of the Petersburg hanging out “a La the eighties” under the dark track of the song “Vessel”.

the Popularity of the group, now the world is just enormous. Waiting for her in Europe, America, Asia. Experts believe that all this is due to just the song “the Ship” by poet Boris Red, which, though performed in the Russian language, but very friendly and like foreigners.
“He was able to write such poems that touch people, the hearts of the people. He know such a universalet, it is clear and accessible to academics and the common man. This is a rare property, it was here from Vysotsky, for example, Yesenin,” — says Oleg Dozmorov, a friend of Boris Red.

a Group of “Silent house” in the West consider a model of Russian music Doumer. Dumery — depressed, often tearful, dressed in black, Smoking and drinking recklessly, having neither the career, goals or prospects. But, despite this, the visuals on dumeresque a song often has the depressing shades of tik Tok, and the combination of songs and visuals on the contrary attracts the attention of foreign users in Russia.
“In recent years, interest in people around the world to Russia, maybe it has something to do with the political process?

And while some Russian commentators trying to explain that the Russian reality is not always so, as shown in the video in tik-Tok, others are only happy about this interest in their country by foreigners.
