Thousands of Estonians Sing "Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" to Support Ukraine (with English captions)

[blue-wave]

"Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" or the "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow" (Ukrainian: Ой у лузі червона калина - Oi u luzi chervona kalyna) is a Ukrainian patriotic march of the time of Bohdan Khmelnytsky time, first published in 1875 by Volodymyr Antonovych and Mykhailo Drahomanov.

The red viburnum of the song (kalyna in Ukrainian)—a deciduous shrub that grows four to five metres tall—is referenced throughout Ukrainian folklore.

The Estonians have stepped up in a big way, donating more in terms of GDP than any other country to Ukraine.

and I just had to shares this image:


Only the red is from viburnum. The other colors are other flowers. But the page has many images which aren't "staged" like this one, but ae every bit as lovely.
