Man, I'm glad the Russians have generally been our allies, accordian-guy alone would kick our asses. Imagine how fit you must have to be even to do a half of that!
That is such a great video. I can't get over how similar to modern b-boy battles that is. Except far more good-natured, and we don't dance in full military garb with heavy leather boots.
Rohin, The video syncs so well because the it was edited, however the device of the original film is obviously a dance battle, so yep, nothing is new.
Having grown up during the latter half of the Cold War, I echo the sentiments of some of the other posters. There is something about this video that captures some sort of relief that the Soviets and the U.S did not engage in a nuclear exchange. I suppose its joie de vivre would have been marred by a certain ominous feeling.
Well, Russia hasn't tried kicking anyones ass in a while. Probably cause all these soldiers are out of commission. If they were still out there fighting/dancing we would be f'ed in the a.

Dance Dance Revolutionaries.
I can't believe the dance fits so well with the music though... I really want to know how that happened! It fits all the way through!
haha and I love neatorama so much that I was accidentally typing "neatorama" instead of my password while logging into the computer >_>

The Russians have generally been your allies? What country do you live in, Iran? Armenia?
In Soviet Russia, dance breaks you!
Evidently, you missed everything they've done in Georgia over the past decade or so. And Azerbaijan. Plus Chechnya. And a whole bunch of other places.
Allies? ever heard of the cold war? btw, that is an awesome dance, does it still exist? is it a folk dance?
Also this video kicked nalga.
Tell that to the Chechens.
Great video!
