From the Trans Siberian great Railway on another thread I became again aware of the richness of the Russian musical art.
Did some research and in the meantime enjoyed the music and the Russian "sounds"...







And my favourite: Dark Eyes
Here at Moscow by the Russian tenor Hvorostovsky

And by Paverotti:




And if you haven't yet bored more than an hour of the new Russia of Putin...
Pay attention to the good pronunciation of Russian by the speakers...




And to conclude even that:
