Russian Police Choir

[Beyer, Tom]

It’s nice to see the bright and surprising side of Russia, its people and culture. Many of us have devoted a life to understanding and appreciating them better, and to opening the eyes of our students to that world. Another lovely segment is devoted to the alphabet. Share it with your students and prospectives.

This is a proud nation and  proud people. Mutual understanding will not be built upon demeaning or embarrassing them.

Truth is stranger than fiction. My eyes could not believe it until I saw it. Serious semiotic analysis of this video welcome.
Humorous. The uniforms and diction do not match --- this
Russian Police Choir in formal uniform, in operatic voices, sing Daft Punk’s Get Lucky.
