He noted that he saw the video on the Threads social network on the page of user 11andrei11, who filmed this moment.
“If you want, I'll be your color,
Eight colors, eight miracles,
We'll be as white as snow,
“Yakscho thi nim buti allow me,” the teenagers and Zamiga sang in unison.
On the group’s YouTube channel, this song has collected more than 30 million views in eight years since its premiere and has become a hit.
Morozov emphasized that all this happened in the bitter cold “under the ‘martyrdom’ and incessant missile attacks.”
“In a city that sits for hours without electricity and often without water or heating,” he recalled.
The journalist noted that while singing along with a street musician, the teenagers probably felt like they were at a concert from a peaceful life.
“We now seem to be at the toughest stage of this brutal war of the 21st century. In Krivoy Rog, which, by design, [нелегитимного российского президента Владимира] Putin should have met his army with bread and salt and would have long ago become some kind of region of Russia. And here in this Krivoy Rog, in the bitter cold, near the store, Vanya Zamiga sings with a guitar in Ukrainian and a small crowd of Krivoy Rog teenagers feels like they were at that concert from peaceful life,” Morozov wrote. – Will we hold out? We will stand!”
