"This was filmed during the cold war Soviet Union days and so some of the film quality doesn't match our descerning digital tastes, but the subject matter more than makes up for that. The Russian dancing is done by soldiers who really know how perform marvelously. This is a DVD that is worth watching over and over."

Always a unique experience

"These were different times, they will never return exactly as they were, see the most spectacular mixed performances for slavic folk song and dance which ever were. The Red Army may return to its former glory, but we will have to wait and see if the budget can be found for the Ministry of Culture. Beginning from the Revolution as a handful of men and women who went East to inspire, instruct and entertain the Red Army (still under Leon Trotsky) this was the group who braved more than 17 nations who would attack the Soviet Union during the years it existed, always keeping the faith and always maintaining the highest order of quality of performance and art. Get this while you still can!! Someday they may be, again, what they were.. Their performances during the last few years were still spectacular, but their number has shrunk. Lets hope that Vlad and Dimitri can find the money ... somewhere ... to ensure their return to their former, unique, greatness."
