😂😂Muscovites are not Slavs. "Russians" - a superficially Slavinized mixture of Ugro-Finns and Tatars with a share of Mongols, to whom the Church Slavonic language of the Bible was imposed, which over time began to be called Russian. The Slavicization of this mixture occurred primarily due to the occupied Rus'-Ukraine and the Rusyns (Ukrainians), Litvins (Belarusians, who are Balts by origin), Poles and Balts. The Muscovy occupation of not only Rus'-Ukraine, but also the Belarusian (Lithuanian) lands of the Pskov region, Smolensk region, Kalug region, Bryansk region, the southwestern parts of Voronezhshchena (Ukrainian population), Kursk region (Ukrainian population), Belgorod region (Ukrainian population) played a huge role in the formation of the “Russian” population), not to mention the occupation of the Novgorod Republic by Muscovy. Politically and spiritually, Muscovy arose from the Golden Horde of the Tatars and Mongols. Well, plus more than three centuries of becoming relatives of the Rusyns (Ukrainians) and Rus'-Ukraine and Litvins (Belarusians) with the endlessly deceitful propaganda of Muscovy about the existence of “Russians” as Slavs. In fact, Russians are a Slavicized hodgepodge and their whole “Slavicness” is a three-hundred-year-old myth without any basis for it.

So rich and different and so near at the same time! You give a very good example how one can keep his identity and be open enough at the same time to accept and embrace all the peoples. All the dances here are great! And you make us feel proud to be Bulgarians. ❤️ Greek music, dance and language.
Love it! I was wondering how you'd deal with Czech Republic, considering we have mostly couple dances, but it was great as always (even if it would've been lovely to see Moravia included more, I know first hand how hard it is to find *anything*, so I'm really happy we were included as much as we were). And your karička genuinely made me laugh, in a good way.
Hello Vasilis, I am really taken aback by the way you have shown Polish dances: our polonais from Andrzej Wajda's movie 'Pan Tadeusz' (based on our national poem written by Mickiewicz), our highlanders' dances , Masovian District presented our Midlands and the South - Cracow great job, thanks a lot. In spite of our folklore I like the way you have shown Czech, Slovakia and Ukraine. Lovely Balkan music!
You are the best dancer. It’s incredible your talent. I love all your videos. I also admire how you are so clearly in touch with your own masculine and feminine aspects in order to perform these dances so phenomenally.
To me you are a genius, Vasilis! I appreciate your accuracy and attention to detail in each post. I am very glad that I found your dances, this „vein” of cultural gold. I feel richer when I follow your exceptional achievements. It is not just about dances, it is also a historical, social and cultural retrospective. Now I understand better the way we influence each other and that we learn from each other how we can live beautifully and together. Congratulations from ROMANIA! ❣👋🤩

Vasilis, you have done a great job, still, one Slavic nation is missing in your list here: the Sorbs in Saxony, Germany. Very few left at present, but still here, despite the adverse fate.
@@vernicejillmagsino9603 All right, let's make Lusatia (die Lausitz) a separate state for the Sorbs, and Germany will be purely Germanic. (By the way, I am not anti-German)
The Slavic language spread over millennia to many parts of Europe, North and South, East and West, but you can see in the variety of dances and costumes the underlining different histories of these quite different peoples.. fascinating
Some facts about Ukraine 🇺🇦 Few people know that the Bulgarians are in the basis for the creation of Kievan Rus/Old Rissia & Ukraine and their rescue from the hordes of Genghis Khan - The Mongols. After the fierce battle with a significantly smaller number, but brave Bulgarians, according to some sources, about 4,000 Mongols survive. According to others, the Volga Bulgarians killed all the Mongols! The Bulgar tribes during the rule of Khan Kubrat/Хан Кубрат, before coming to the Balkans had a country named Old Bulgaria - Volga Bulgaria/Волжка България (7th -13th centuries) and fought against Western Turkic Khaganate. Ibn Fadlan refers to Volga Bulgaria as Saqaliba, a general Arabic term for Slavic people. Other researches tie the term to the ethnic name Scythian (or Saka in Persian). The Ukraine capital Kyiv/Kiev/Киев is named of Shambat Kie/Шамбат Кий, also known with the short name Kyi. He was the founder of Kyiv and the Kyi dynasty, and the Prince (Knyaz) of Polans. Shambat Kie is actually a brother of the First Bulgarian Ruler named Kubrat/Кубрат, (the Bulgarian professional heavyweight boxer Kubrat Pulev/Кубрат Пулев is named after the ancient Bulgarian ruler) who had established a spacious state - "Great Bulgaria" in the steppes of modern Ukraine in ca. 632. He was also uncle of The Great Khan Asparukh, а ruler of Bulgars in the second half of the 7th century and is credited with the establishment of the First Bulgarian Empire in 681, an alliance between the ruling Bulgars and the numerous slavs in the area, and their South Slavic Language, the Old Church Slavonic, became the main and official language of the empire in 864. Asparukh/Аспарух is a Middle Iranian male name, attested in ancient Georgia and early medieval Bulgaria. It is a compound with the two elements: "aspa" (horse) and "rauk" (shine), meaning "he who has shining horses". Some other researchers claim that the name is derived from "aspa" (horse) and "rah" (soul), meaning "one with a soul of a horse". Bulgarians are also the First Slavic Nation to accept Orthodox Christianity after the Armenians and Greeks. They use the title Tcar/King/Цар six centuries before the Russians started to use it. The Bulgarian Church became the First Independent Church in Europe in 927. The first Metropolitan of Kiev was a Bulgarian - Saint Cyprian/Свети Киприян, Metropolitan of Moscow, Kiev and all Russians. Gregory Tsimbalak/Григорий Цамблак - Metropolitan of Kiev and Lithuanian is also Bulgarian.

This man's dancing skills evince real talent.....in my mind's eye I can just see people having a village dance to celebrate a wedding, a harvest, or the visit of some important official........he should found his own dance academy!
Well Done Vasilis!!! It pleases me very much that you made a video representing all Slavs!!! There are a couple of Serbian Dances that have the wrong techniques, but SO WHAT. That's just scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to nitpicking. Representing different dances outside of your Nationality is not only impressive but carries so much honour. As well as putting in a lot of work into it. Greetings from a Serbian Canadian Folk Dancer! *I hope I did not seem like a wise prick in the middle
Interresting. Some czech songs sound like austrian folklore and dances too. Yes, they are neighbors. By the was, in Burgenland, former Hungary and now a Region of Austria, there are some citizens with hungarian and croatian origin. There are also several dance groups for their own traditional music and dance.
For me the Slavic dances , are of two kinds, The western Slavic , Poland and Danubia countries, ( Slovakia, Slovenia,Czech Repúblic, Hungary and Eastern Áustria) and on other hand, Rússia, Belarus, Ukraine and Balkans( Bulgária, Croatia, Albânia,, Macedónia, Romania and Serbia)!
You are right. That is why (because of cultural, historic, genetic and linguistic differences) Slavs are divided into 3 groups: Western, Eastern (both are often considered as Northern group) and Southern ones. Slavs live from Germany to Japan and from Norway to Greece, so differences are great.
Thank you!! I believe those who are closest to Greece, like Serbia, North Macedonia and Bulgaria. The dances are almost common in the regions of Thrace and Macedonia. :))
You did a great job representing most slavic dances - there are some that you just cannot show in one person. I really like the bohemian (West of Czechia) dances for couples and perhaps it's the case of Slovenia too, I don't know. Then there are the group dances where half of the group carries the other half's weight - those are a lot of fun too😁
Absolutely beautiful work as always Vasilis! I’m proud of being Bulgarian, and I’m proud of my Southern Slavic heritage. We Bulgarians aren’t and never were Tatars or Mongols. Whoever says that doesn’t know Bulgarian history. Scholars have found the Bulgarian people to be descendants of Slavs, Thracians, and Eastern Iranians (Persians). Peace and love to all Slavic nations and I hope and pray for this war in Ukraine to end soon 🇧🇬❤️🇷🇸❤️🇭🇷❤️🇸🇮❤️🇲🇰❤️🇲🇪❤️🇧🇦❤️🇸🇰❤️🇨🇿❤️🇵🇱❤️🇺🇦❤️🇧🇾 ❤️🇷🇺
I totally agree with you, I don't know why you people are being called Tatars or Mongols. I feel totally embarrassed and ashamed to read such comments, especially from Serbs being Serbian myself. Bulgarians are Slavic people, yes at first they were a Turkic(NOT Turkish, Turkic) tribe of Bulgars from the East but soon after became Slavs mixed with Thracians and so on. You should be proud of your heritage, greetings from 🇷🇸.
Let us recall the words of the great politician and president of France in the 20th century, Mr. Francois Mitterrand, who said: “The Bulgarian people are one of the creators of civilization on our planet. The Bogomils create the European Revival!" Reminder: Bulgaria has always meant: good food, pure nature, mineral springs, golden sands, quality wines, ski resorts, beautiful women and strong men.

Oh, who you think you are depends on your political situation. Cossacks also like to write themselves down as Turks, only the Turks themselves are not happy with such brothers. But there are also enough Cossacks loyal to their Slavic identity. And these Cossacks gave freedom to Transnistria.

Your videos makes us love and appreciate each other even more 💗 💓 💛
Such amazing work man! I'm only familiar with the Russian one and it looks super authentic.
I love these!
Thanks a lot!
Εξακολουθείς να με εκπλήσεις εξαιρετικά.
Υπέροχη δουλειά!
You did a great job representing most slavic dances - there are some that you just cannot show in one person. I really like the bohemian (West of Czechia) dances for couples and perhaps it's the case of Slovenia too, I don't know. Then there are the group dances where half of the group carries the other half's weight - those are a lot of fun too😁
Absolutely beautiful work as always Vasilis! I’m proud of being Bulgarian, and I’m proud of my Southern Slavic heritage. We Bulgarians aren’t and never were Tatars or Mongols. Whoever says that doesn’t know Bulgarian history. Scholars have found the Bulgarian people to be descendants of Slavs, Thracians, and Eastern Iranians (Persians).
Peace and love to all Slavic nations and I hope and pray for this war in Ukraine to end soon 🇧🇬❤️🇷🇸❤️🇭🇷❤️🇸🇮❤️🇲🇰❤️🇲🇪❤️🇧🇦❤️🇸🇰❤️🇨🇿❤️🇵🇱❤️🇺🇦❤️🇧🇾 ❤️🇷🇺
❤️Thank you!
I totally agree with you, I don't know why you people are being called Tatars or Mongols. I feel totally embarrassed and ashamed to read such comments, especially from Serbs being Serbian myself.
Bulgarians are Slavic people, yes at first they were a Turkic(NOT Turkish, Turkic) tribe of Bulgars from the East but soon after became Slavs mixed with Thracians and so on.
You should be proud of your heritage, greetings from 🇷🇸.
@@Folklor_Wonder No we Bulgarians are not slavic, we originate from the Bulgars who are mixed with the Thracians.
Let us recall the words of the great politician and president of France in the 20th century, Mr. Francois Mitterrand, who said:
“The Bulgarian people are one of the creators of civilization on our planet. The Bogomils create the European Revival!"
Reminder:
Bulgaria has always meant:
good food, pure nature, mineral springs, golden sands, quality wines, ski resorts, beautiful women and strong men.
A piece of paradise in a shape of a lion!
Sofia, the pearl of Bulgaria

Oh, who you think you are depends on your political situation. Cossacks also like to write themselves down as Turks, only the Turks themselves are not happy with such brothers. But there are also enough Cossacks loyal to their Slavic identity. And these Cossacks gave freedom to Transnistria.
Thanks 😊 Greets from Poland ❤

@@VasilisDance Well done man. Great job.
@@silni1967 Thank you!!
Fantastic! 😍
I'm glad you used some of the materials I sent you and you did Oberek as well, i was about to send you that one as well, but forgot 😅
Love all the dances! 🙌
Thank you very much!:)
My goodness! Am I mistaken or is there really just one dancer?😅 Thank you for the great work in presenting the dances and editing the video!
Gracias por está preciosa presentación, saludos desde Lomas de Polanco de Guadalajara, México 🇲🇽
Muchas gracias!!
i love seeing how similar some of the moves are between the dances! we have so much more in common than we think!
I can't wait for other pan-ethnic dances like Turkic, Arabic, and Latin!
I really hope this includes Slavic minorities in non-Slavic countries.
Nice idea!:)) This particular video is about the 13 Slavic countries, so no minorities unfortunately. However, they can be added in other videos as well, I want to include everyone at some point. Rusyn folklore, for instance. :))
Благодаря ❤
🕊🕊🕊
Wow beautiful job !!!!
Can you make Skandinavian Dance Medley
Not bad idea really
Thanks
❤️🥰 Прекрасни са всички.
We Gorals are at 1:40 💪🌄,Bóg zapłoć,ôd sýtkik Góroli:) PS, could you change Oberek to Ôberek since that's how it would be spelt in the dialect where it comes from.
💪

Потрясающая подборка! И отлично видно, как некоторые танцы у соседних народов похожи!
P.s. Стыдно, но я и не подозревала, какие потрясающие танцы у болгар!
P.p.s. В СССР были популярны ТВ программы с подборкой национальных танцев, многие узнала на Вашем видео!
Спасибо большое!!
