It was a series of slapstick videos, like more than 5 minutes (more than 10?) each video.

Somewhat related - does anyone know what those Russian videos are called - usually played during Christmas/New Year's, to my understanding, on Russian TV. They're slapstick in the style of Charlie Chaplin, set in the countryside (in some dacha usually) with human actors in a bear costume, a clown, etc.

Can't remember what they're called but they're hilarious! Does anyone know?

This one?

I'm seriously impressed with Rocha's knowledge of Russian pop culture, you have to be a serious Russophile to know some of this stuff!!!

Роча ты молодец, многие в России давным давно уже забыли про ети песни. Я рад что ты этим увлекаешься. Почетный русский мужик!

You might be thinking of Маски Шоу (Show of Masks). A completely ridiculous Chaplin-like comedy show, slapstick like you said. Everybody in the FSU was hooked on it in the 90s.

Not necessarily post soviet, but still post-socialist. Playing and singing that shit every time when I get to low class pub.

Біля хати Василини затоптали трави.
Затоптали буйні трави хлопці кучеряві.
Та вертаються додому всі із гарбузами,
Що ж ти робиш, Василино, з цими легінями..

Slava Ukraina !!!!!

Rocha,
when going to the Airport this morning by taxi, the driver was listening to what I can only describe as typical Russian, melancholic Guitar Pop. I think I recognized Nautilus Pompilius among it. I did not ask what station it was, because I was preoccupied with looking depressed out of the window onto the snowy(!!) landscape. Is there a name for this genre, do you know what I mean and have some further recommendations?

I think there is no specific name to that genre other than Russian / Soviet Rock from the 80s and 90s. But I might be wrong, might be considered post-punk.

The maximum exponent of this style was Viktor Tsoi and and his band Kino (Виктор Цой и группа ''Кино'')

^ Tsoy was a damn legend. It would probably require a whole thread just to dissect his influence on Soviet/Russian culture and music.

Although I actually prefer his contemporary, Igor Talkov. His songs were really patriotic and critical of Soviet system.

Legendary DJ Smash, so many nights dancing to his stuff.

Max Barskikh ( Макс Барских) from Ukraine. Great songs. I heard from close circles that the guy is gay as fuck, but who cares... This is like travelling back in time to the glorious Eurodisco/pop from the 80s that I only lived through my dad records and kid memories, reminds me of Rick Astley, Spandau Ballet, Modern Talking, beautiful girls packing dance floors healthy man/woman relationships....

This song seems to be really popular in the past few months. Would be nice if someone can translate the song into English.
