Performance in Moscow blew up the Internet
The Internet community is delighted and finds out who organized that flash mob
A video recently blew up screens all across the internet (about 4 mln views on YouTube). About two hundred young dancers in Moscow, who at first seem to be ordinary bystanders, perform a dance accompanied by a contemporary arrangement of the famous 1929 song "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Irving Berlin.
The video even features dancing by groups of custodians and soldiers. A high energy production in the style and spirit of American musicals, it leaves no head left unturned. However, nothing is known about the creators of the video. Who they may be and what they may do are questions rapidly rising in the rankings of search engines.
It is important to note that the hype surrounding this video originated in no small part due to the similarity of the first word in the song with the name of Vladimir Putin, who at that time was a candidate for the Russian Presidency. The dancers play up the likeness, singing along to the chorus: "Putin molodets!». When translated, the phrase means "Putin well done!" or «Putin what a good fellow!».
