"Carol of the Bells": written in Russian Empire in 1914 as a folk song, "Schedryk" ("Generous") 

Leontovych wrote it in 1916 👍🏽👍🏽 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchedryk_(song)

Щедрик was released in 1916. I suggest you look up the borders of the Russian empire in 1916 and get back to us

@@m4thew22 I was wrong with the date for some years, it is was written in 1916, a year after before Ukraine got rid of the Moskow occupation for a several years. This was written in the time under of occupation ukrainians by russians, on ukrainian language, by ukrainian composer and conductor Mykola Leontovych, who then toured Europe and the USA with choir and everywhere presented this and other songs preciesly as Ukrainian. For which he was killed by Chekist in 1921. Why do the russians not like it and run around in the comments and spread lies about the "soviet song"? The question is rhetorical. Your answer clearly shows that i was right about imperialism of russians. For those who still think that "its putins war" now.

@@m4thew22 I suggest you acknowledge the fact that borders don't determine nationality

I want to remind you that Ukraine has been part of Russia for almost its entire history, so these songs are also the property of the Russian people.

​@@user-vw3pg6bp6g your property is stolen toilets by russian soldiers. russians killed the composer of this song, and it was written in the Ukrainian Peoples Republic, stop stealing Ukrainians culture make your own.

@@YevYevhenii Russian culture is great and diverse. You now sound like a persistent Russophobe. It's disgusting. Stop denying that the Russian and Ukrainian peoples are connected, as are their cultures. We are almost one people, although they do not recognize it. And the fact that the composer of this song was killed is a pity. I personally and the Russian people themselves did not do this.

@@user-vw3pg6bp6glook, russian imperialists are so nazi💀

@@user-vw3pg6bp6g its not property of the Russian people. try to search the russian version of carol of the bells and you will be surprised. theres no one. but ukrainian choir in 1919 presented it for all over the world and now this song is the Christmas vibe for every western nations. notice it

Because And Ukraine throughout its history was part of the Russian state and the USSR, incl.

@@user-vw3pg6bp6g Sorry, but you need to review your history. Ukraine was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for centuries and before the Russian Empire existed, "Russia" was part of the Kievan Empire, then part of the Empire of the Golden Horde. So Russia claiming Ukraine and its heritage is a falsehood. The song was written in Ukrainian, by Ukrainians, on the territory of Ukraine. Stop trying to steal its heritage for political gain.

@@taivo55 True!

Shch - this is polish pronunciation

@@SirBedevereTheWise ukrainian Щ is very similar to english SH in the word shit. you can make sure of this if you listen to the national anthem of Ukraine and pay attention to the first word - Ще ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wx7vo__48oE.htmlsi=jeUnQ1yCF427KHf7 So, ukrainian Щ phonetically sounds as a more or less (depending on the region) softened sound Ш |ʃ|, You can’t hear in real speech sound [t͡ʃ] (ch-ч) as part of the Щ [ʃ| people in Ukraine do not pronounce [ʃt͡ʃ] shch unlike it pronounced in Poland and Lithuania

TThere was no country called Ukraine in the Russian Empire.

It's not russian. It's Ukrainian. And polish folk music is much better than russian

​@@user-pb6wk7ko4dthere's very little to absolutely no difference between Russian and Ukrainian music, culture and looks and its a basic fact. Comparing Ukraine to Russia is like comparing Germany with Austria.

@@user-jf5qw6vg3h 😂😂😂

@@user-jf5qw6vg3hyou’re absolutely wrong. To begin with, there’s no authentic russian culture. It has misappropriated everything from other nations.

When will people like you realize that not only Russia was part of the USSR and that there were not only Russians in the Soviet army. And Ukraine throughout its thousand-year history was part of the Russian state and the USSR, incl.

​@@romapupilla3794Und ich als Deutscher, keinen Ruhm für die Banderisten .

Kein großer Unterschied

⁠@@Freki-Geri this song was written by a Ukrainian composer, and the russians killed him for it. Is the difference really small?

@@user-ue9zy3yj9p He was shot by a Cheka agent after the coup of the Bolschists under Lenin, who also killed the Romanovs. But not because he was Ukrainian, there was the SSR Ukraine

@@user-ue9zy3yj9p The difference between Ukrainian and Russian is like between High German and Low German. Ukrainian and Russian are East Slavic languages.

Written at a time when there wasn’t any difference between you and Russians. Let me put it to your stupid mind this way. If people from North India start fighting people from South India and one group is being offered money and position in NATO, would that mean one of the group of same Indians should call themselves differently and pretend that their history has been different always. Give me fooooooking break. Ukrainians have started buying into their own con 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

@@Snow_Bunny arguments?

@@user-vw3pg6bp6g Firstly it was written in the 1919 in Ukrainian rebublic. russians should learn history better, this imperialism from the ignorant is so pathetic to be honest.

Bruh, it is Ukrainian, not Russian

It`s Ukrainian.

@@kseniazubriy2360 I'm sorry that I don't know that much about your area of the world. I thought that being in the USSR not that long ago that the Russian's and the Ukraine's would speak the same language. Also if you look at the title info it says Russian, so I wouldn't have anyway to know the difference! I would like to know what the word for beautiful is anyway, because regardless of whether it's Ukraine's or Russian, this music is so beautiful!!!!! I even have it as my ring tone for the upcoming holiday season!!!

Beautiful in Ukrainian is GARNO (гарно). Thank you for asking. The name of the clip is misleading (hopefully not intentional) - it is in Ukrainian, composed by Ukrainian composer Leontovytch, based on folk music. The composer was killed by the Soviets for promoting Ukrainian culture.

The song is Russian, it dates from the Russian Empire, Ukraine never existed until the creation of the Soviet Union and after its fall, before the Russian Empire it was Kievan Rus from which Russia, Ukraine and Belarus descend.
