| Description: | 'KANAVA!' Russia. Several shots of men of the Red Army doing a traditional dance with swords called 'Kanava'. Other soldiers play accordions, banjos or mandolins and drums - the music is quite fast. Great traditional Russian dancing as some of the soldiers come forward to take a solo. Commentator says the men have recently been honoured by their government and are now known throughout Russia as the Red Banner Ensemble. | |
