That is Yiddish music, it drew a lot of it's inspiration and gave a lot of inspiration from and too the Russian music, as well as a lot of gene's, most Yiddish probably have some Russian ancestry and a lot more Russian's than care to admit it have Yiddish ancestry.
But you are not wrong, though if you listen to other branches of Jewish music such as Sephardic it is more north African and Arabic like than Yiddish music, another influence was probably Romany music.
And Cossack's (My nanna's great uncle was supposedly a Cossack with long boot's though she called him a Russian Gypsy - though that is going back to the mid 1800's so I have no idea what side he would have chosen white or red?) were so fierce even the Russian's had to build fortress to protect themselves from them though they shared a lot more than just land with them and they ended up serving the Russian monarchy and are still part of Russian culture to this day though many other people's still hate and revile and fear the fierce Cossack raiders of old.

I doubt you have to worry about us mixing it up with Russia. We will always play the little games, but MAD seems to keep the rusty wire holding the cork in.

I wonder if that had anything to do with Khazaria, they had chosen the Jewish religion as there state religion but were arguably a prototype of Russia and were eventually conquered by Russia but like Russia there choice of religion was down to pragmatism perhaps instead of faith or blood lines though many Jews flocked to those lands during the Khazarian period.
As you know the story of how Russia chose Christianity had to do with the then leader hearing that Islam banned alcohol.
What would Russia be if Vodka had never existed - and of course since.

Hey I am from England, tea total myself - well most of the time, but typically the British are or were among the heaviest drinkers in the world at one time, remember in western Europe at one time you could not drink the water, people pissed and # and washed in it and drinking it was a death sentence so they drank ale and beer, gin and whisky instead and other thing's depending on which of the old dirty western European nations they lived in (the British Royal Navy even had a daily allowance of Grog which is strong rum mixed with water and we have an old nursery rhyme that - the drunken sailor).
But with the exception of Whisky there are not many western European drinks that you could run an engine on.
And this is the train I mean not that video.

Wonder if they're into American men... I think I've found my true soulmate!
Unfortunately, 99% of Russian women on the Internet are simply looking for rich American men. To know real Russian women, one must come to Russia and live as a guest in Russian families.
Our women are so harsh and beautiful. that I myself am sometimes afraid of them

Let me know when you have a spare couch, then.
All joking aside, you guys do have some of the most beautiful women I've seen. I think it's the resilience and the confidence they seem to exude. Who doesn't love feisty?! You're not exactly scaring me away. lol
I am sure that in any country there are real women. If there were no dirty politics, we would be much closer to each other, be friends and love
