They didn't see the crash coming too.

A Finnish rock band singing in English in Sweden about an American state, accompanied by a Russian military choir! As nameofthepen says, it's surreal - and I love it! The Red Army choir members seem to be enjoying themselves as well, judging by the broad smiles on their faces.

Today 25 .12.2016 We lost the great Red Army Choir, in a plane crash over Sochi-Russia...The irony of it all, considering the fact that Lynyrd Skynyrd (the band behind Sweet Home Alabama song), also died in a plane crash. May their great souls rest in peace. Уважение и респект Вам, ребята!

Do you know how close Alaska is to the coast of Russia? Look it up on Google maps.

If we had more music, we'd have less war.

These were two of my favorite things - had no idea they collided at some point in this... way. Wonderful, slightly terrifying, very amusing, and absolutely ridiculous. It put a smile on my face when I needed it for sure - thanks.

Everyone I have met and gotten to know in Russia has great sense of humor.

There's already a Georgia over there, they don't need Alabama! Seriously, you really haven't heard this song until you've heard it at The Cane Break in Birmingham, AL (not UK!), and unfortunately I think I remember seeing that The Cane Break has been out of business for a long time. In the winter of 1975 I was in Birmingham on a business trip to check out terminals at the new SSA Payment Center then being constructed there, so the song was fresh. I think it was a Wednesday night, which was the big night out when everyone went out looking for a date for Friday and Saturday. The band started blaring this song and the whole crowd went crazy! An experience to be remembered!

Sending love to the Russian people and the Finnish people from Sweet Home Alabama!!

This was filmed at the 1994 MTV Music Awards in New York.

Good times! Make music, not war!

Ok....seeing "Sweet Home, Alabama" being played on a balalaika....now I've seen it all! And slipping in "Song of the Volga Boatman"????? HA! Well done, gentlemen! Say what you will about Russian politicos....their entertainment units have always been top notch.

Sweet Home Alabama just doesn't sound the same without the Red Army Choir singing it.

FASCINATING!!! Tell us, we love and want the same things..dang why won't we just learn to get along? Beautiful!!

That was one of the most ridiculous and awesome things I have ever had the honour of viewing on KZread.

When you live in Siberia and your Mikrorayon is snowed in, so you warm up with your sister.

RIP to the Red Army Choir.

Thoughts and prayers with their families and the Russian people today. So sad.

I love the big grin on the bass balalaika player.

There are some that claim the Finns actually lost the war with the Soviet Union. I force them to watch this video and they usually reconsider!

Dude, that ending was EPIC.

You did not search for this, but you are sure glad that you found this.

Finnish culture has an almost brutal charm. love it.

I whistled simple man once on a flight from Spain to uk and experienced strong turbulence. Careful with that axe ............

File: Things you never thought you'd see. =D

When I saw the Russian Police singing "Get Lucky" at the Sochi Olympics I immediately thought back to this.
