I know the verses aren't in time, I don't know what happened. I actually prefer this version to the original because, well, russian is a beautiful language and I think it fits better with the movie because it's about the Romanov family.
A beautiful language... Its a shame when I hear it I get angry and sad at the same time... Hello from Hungary, the country which been torn apart by fascists and communists... :(
Как узор на окне Снова прошлое рядом Кто-то пел песню мне В зимний вечер когда-то Словно в прошлом ожило Чьих-то бережных рук тепло Вальс изысканных гостей И бег лихих коней Вальс кружил и нес меня Словно в сказку свою маня Первый бал и первый вальс Звучат во мне сейчас Зеркала в янтаре Мой восторг отражают Кто-то пел на заре Дом родной покидая Будешь ты в декабре Вновь со мной дорогая
actually anastasia was assassinated along with her family in 1918 in Yekaterinburg, Russiaby members of the Cheka, the Bolshevik secret police. So in reality the movie isnt at all real historically,on the night of the deaths the family was awakened and told to dress. They were told they were being moved to a new location to ensure their safety in anticipation of the violence that might ensue when the White Army reached Yekaterinburg. Once dressed, the family and the small circle of servants who had remained with them were herded into a small room in the house's sub-basement and told to wait. Alexandra and Alexei sat in chairs provided by guards at the Empress's request. After several minutes, the guards entered the room, led by Yurovsky. Yurovsky quickly informed the Tsar and his family that they were to be executed. The Tsar had time to say only "What?" and turn to his family before he was killed by several bullets to the chest (not, as is commonly stated, to the head; his skull, recovered in 1991, bears no bullet wounds). The Tsaritsa and her daughter Olga tried to make the sign of the cross, but were killed in the initial volley of bullets fired by the executioners. The rest of the Imperial retinue were shot in short order, with the exception of Anna Demidova, Alexandra's maid. Demidova survived the initial onslaught, but was quickly murdered against the back wall of the basement, stabbed to death while trying to defend herself with a small pillow she had carried into the sub-basement that was filled with precious gems and jewels.once the thick smoke that had filled the room from so many weapons being fired in such close proximity cleared, it was discovered that the executioners' bullets had ricocheted off the corsets of two or three of the Grand Duchesses. The executioners later came to find out that this was because the family's crown jewels and diamonds had been sewn inside the linings of the corsets to hide them from their captors. The corsets thus served as a form of "armor" against the bullets. Anastasia and Maria were said to have crouched up against a wall, covering their heads in terror, until they were shot down by bullets,However, another guard, Peter Ermakov, told his wife that Anastasia had been finished off with bayonets. As the bodies were carried out, one or more of the girls cried out, and were clubbed on the back of the head.
Also it should be in other languages so people who don't know or understand Russian, like a lot of the world's population, can listen to it and learn it and sing it with it being in a language they understand.
Я думаю так же, как и вы, я живу в Америке, и я люблю фильм Анастасии, я знаю, что это не то, что они пережили, но я хочу знать больше, извините, если я сказал что-то не так, я использую переводчик Доброго утра/дня/ночи ☺️
Верно, но не Николай II. Он был ужасен, и весь народ такой огромной страны против него пошёл не спроста. Жаль его семью, они просто оказались жертвами того времени и положения.
@@somnambulant237 люди не хотели воевать, потому и с последствиями Николай не справился. Однако ваши слова подходят тому, что было после ВОВ, когда Сталин нажанглировался советским народом😬
@@tavitto259Николай II вмешал страну в несколько беполезных войн и все из них бездарно просрал (в том числе и потому, что считал хорошей идеей влезть и лично покомандовать, ничего не понимая в вопросе и совершенно не слушая компетентных в этом людей), доведя народ до полной нищеты, устроив Кровавое Восресенье (типа его лично в тот момент там не было, но он даже не попытался сгладить последствия массового убийства) в то время как Сталин учился всю жизнь, в послереволюционное время (всюду хаос, далеко не самый подходящий момент для войны) умудрился не то что выстоять против Гитлеровской Германии, которая в начале войны с СССР в 1941 за 2 года уже успела захватить некоторые европейские страны, имела намного лучшую технику, вооружение и подготовленных бойцов, но и разгромить, дойдя до Берлина. (те же США, которые никогда не оказывали поддержки бесплатно и платили им за это немало, начали активно помогать только в 1944, когда стало понятно, что СССР побеждает) А после поднять страну из полной разрухи. Сталин отменил карточный режим и трижды значительно снижал цены, всю жизнь носил военную форму, не имея личного автомобиля, дач (и то, и другое было государственным) огромного капитала и особняков за границей. Оба его сына воевали на фронте, когда один из них попал в плен к фашистам, его предложили обменять на высокопоставленного немца, на что Сталин ответил: (могу ошибаться в званиях) "я лейтенантов на генералов не меняю". Вы можете назвать в истории России еще хоть одного правителя, который так поступал? Если Сталин кровавый тиран, как его любят называть, то кто тогда в то время был милым и пушистым? Гитлер? Или Муссалини? Или правитель Японии, на теретории которой располагились лагеря смерти похлеще немецких, может быть? Революцию делал Ленин, а не Сталин, первое время Сталин выполнял именно его заветы. Бесспорно, было расстреляно очень много людей, но вы представляете, что такое уже запущенная с начала революции огромная идеалистическая бюрократическая машина, которая перемалывает огромным катком людей по всей стране? Только за один день на территории, например, Украины появлялись тысячи расстрельных дел, за таким просто невозможно уследить одному человеку. А Сталин кстати, находил время и лично рассматривал огромное количество дел обычных людей и зачастую отменял приговор.
Except you know...the real Anastasia (along with the rest of her family) died in 1918 shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917.......and this movie was made in the late 1990s.....
+lilly xiong Anastasia died in 1917 she was murdered but before she died she saw her WHOLE family father, mother, baby brother, sisters killed by the gun like a bunch of cattle then she was shot what a tragic story truly sad :( 😭😭😭
As a bulgarian speaking english, it's impressive that they nailed the melody and harmony. It does sound russian like it was composed in Russia. Somebody did their homework.
If I had the time to learn all the languages I want to learn....... And fluently. Not just learning them to only be able to understand through listening and reading.
hey you know what's fucked up.. at school learning this stuff, we don't really care. we do by asking questions and saying "aw man that's fucked" then move on. but here...we love and care about it. it's so gut wrenching to us knowing what happened and how the family died
its really is gut wrenching to know how they died and me being Russian and wanting to know more about Russian history, decided to read the book i started to cry just a lil bit in alot of the story because there is so many sad parts of it
Gamer Reactor It is really sad. I remember watching the movie on them and I cried a bit because my great grandparents are Romanuiks and they had to escape that massacre.
No disrespect but yea right. The family was all killed. And I guess the only ones that were family were close friends. But your not related but blood are you
I don't care if this movie isn't 100% factual (quite a few things about it aren't, but I will not get into that) It makes you see the Romanovs in another light, and it worked.
@Ganime Ozcay Aye, it's a really good film. It's a legend, a myth. Like folk tales from olden time, it doesn't have to be historically accurate. But know as an adult when I saw this movie again in netflix all I could think of how Anastasia, had she lived, would have been used as a puppet by the white army, provoking yet another civil war where thousands more would probably die from. Now that I think about it, who knows where the myth of Anastasia surviving really originates from? The commoners talking about what could have been? Or a propaganda attempt by the royalists. Since if people believe Anastasia live, that's all the justification they'd want. A look alike can be found from anywhere, afterall.
I speak russian and I sang the whole song in front of my mom and at first she didn't know what song it was until the chorus. her reaction was hilarious.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who can't help but breaking into tears everytime I hear this song. I've seen the movie and heard the song for the first time today and I felt a big emptiness in my chest. Damn
Me too! It gets me every time no matter how many years has passed since the first time watching this film. The fact that this song has some historical background makes it even sadder. Not some fairy tale characters but the real people who had had to go through this. Though Anastasia never survived
I actulally know this version better over the english one. I have Russian family and my babushka used to sing this to my brother when we stayed with her.
@@AzizSTL um just cuz the woman is older doesn’t mean she didn’t watch the movie, especially if the plot centers around Russia. It’s very rare for us slavs to be shown in a good light, so we’re opsessed when the west interprets our culture. Well, at least that’s how I feel
Kak uzor na okne Snova proshloe ryadom Kto-to pel pesnyu mne V zimnii' vecher kogda-to Slovno v proshlom ozhilo Ch'ikh-to berezhnykh ruk teplo Val's izyskannykh gostei' I beg likhikh konei' Val's kruzhil i nyos menya Slovno v skazku svoyou manya Pervyi' bal i pervyi' val's Zvuchat vo mne sei'chas Zerkala v yantare Moi' vostorg otrazhayout Kto-to pel na zare Dom rodnoi' pokidaya Budesh' ty v Dekabre Vnov' so mnoi' dorogaya.
for anybody wondering the pronunciation Kak uzor na ogne. Like a pattern on a window. Snova proshloe rjadom. The past is near again. Kto-to pel pesnju mne. Someone sang a song to me. Zinmij vecher kogda-to. One winter night sometime. Slovno v proshlom ozhilo. As if coming alive in the past. Chi’ix- to berezhinix ruk teplo. The warmth of someone's gentle arms. Valsy iziskonnyx gostej. The waltz of exquisite guests. I veg lexix konej. And brave horses running. Val’s kruzhil I njos menja. The waltz spun and carried me. Slovno v skazku svoju manja. As if beckoning in its tale. Pervyj bal I pervyj val's. The first ball and the first waltz. Svuchat vo mne sejchas. Resound in me right now. Zerkala v jantare. Mirrors in amber. Moj vostorg otrazhajut. Reflect my delight. Kto-to pel na zore. Someone sang at dawnbreak. Dom rodnoj pokidaja. Leaving her cherished home. Budesh' ty v dekabre. You will be, in December. Vnov' so mnoj, dorogaja. Again with me, darling.
Do you understand russian? I always try to find transliteration to songs i like in russian one of the mistakes i often find is "a" pronouced "o" can you explain why if you understand russian?
I love this version better than the English. Does anyone have a link to the Russian version of the Anastasia (20th Century Fox) movie)? If so, I will be so grateful.
Hope the Anthro Unicorn I know it makes me sad that they bring up anime, this song actually has a very deep meaning (i am so sorry if I don't make any sense my English is awful)
@@melanievoppichler6038 Hetalia....does not have to do with it m8.....even though Russia is in the anime it doesn't cover this is the show or manga I believe....
This version is so much deeper than the american one,though i like how Liz sang it better!Btw im from Serbia and I culd understand quite a bit of the text in Russian...
Wow, first time hearing this in russian, and I absolutely agree, in russian it is even better. They should have taken this version of the song for the movie.
hearing this beautiful song Once upon a December in Russian is absolutely beautiful, it is so interesting to hear it in the language it originates from as we all know Anastasia was Russian and the Romanov family, I feel this is a wonderful tribute to all of them, when you hear a song sung in the same language the movie originates from it has a completely different meaning. This is a wonderful version. thank you for sharing.
Как узор на окне Снова прошлое рядом Photographer: Shannon Evans Кто-то пел песню мне В зимний вечер когда-то Словно в прошлом ожило. Чьих-то бережных рук тепло. Вальс изысканных гостей. И бег лихих коней. Вальс кружил и нёс меня. Словно в сказку свою маня. Первый бал и первый вальс. Звучат во мне сейчас. Зеркала в янтаре. Мой восторг отражают. Кто-то пел на заре. Дом родной покидая. Будешь ты в декабре. Вновь со мной, дорогая.
Enough with the Yuri!!! On Ice! This is about the horrible tragic deaths that broke Russia. This isn't a song for yaoi fan girls to twist and disturb to fit their twisted little fantasies! This is a song of Russia! A song filled with pain and guilt! A song that haunts the soul with its enchanting melody, and opens ones heart to the devastation of this time in the history of Mother Russia. No more dishonoring this song with your fantasies! This song is a tragic wish from a broken heart. It is *NOT* for people to disrespect and destroy. Using this song for yaoi or any other anime, fandom, otp, or ship related thing is *NOT* acceptable! This is a song reflecting the pain and agony of a country that murdered its own royalty, a family, a mother, a father, and their children. Enough with the inconceivable disrespect. This is Russia's song, it does not belong to you.
+Otaku Hime well I'm sorry since I came here from an anime fanfic. I never meant to disrespect anyone or anything. But I have to say it is a beautiful song, yet sad, but still so so beautiful.
ok. you need to calm down my good friend. It's not to be disrespectful that they say what they do. However a few of the characters from the anime are Russian and they simply think that it would be amazing and beautiful (as all the other skating programs in the anime are) if he skated to this song in competition in the anime. It's not twisting anything. yes its a sad song expressing an even sadder reality but it would make sense to use it if the theme for their programs were tragedy or something along that line. I am sure they mean no disrespect in saying what they did there is no reason to get upset and go on a rant over something as simple as wanting to see how this song would would be expressed on the ice... and might i add i have spent quite a bit of time going through the comments and i hardly ever found anything about yuri on ice. most of it was about how this version is better than the English
Lyrics Like a pattern on a window The past is near again Somone sang a song to me One winter night sometime As if coming alive in the past The warmth of someone’s gentle arms The waltz of exquisite guests And brave horses running The waltz spun and carried me As if beckoning in its tale The first ball and the first tale Resound in me right now Mirrors in amber Reflect my delight Somone sang at dawnbreak Leaving her cherished home You will be in December Again with me darling
Honestly I feel like it would be a so much better experience if I understood Russian. I have a pretty good understanding of 5 languages, and translations almost always suck. This one is good though, so I can only imagine what it would be like in Russian. Though I'll probably never experience that. Russian is too difficult 😂😂
@@katongoukakyuunojutsu2164 yeah maybe true but I am struggling with my mediocre at best French, Korean and Chinese. If I ever manage to learn all of those till C1/2 level, Japanese and Russian are next on my list :D But honestly, Russian pronunciation is next level. And a Russian friend always tells me Russian is the most difficult language in the world and that he has never met a foreigner who could speak Russian very well haha

Visit the actual Romanov family house wear headphones in full blast and close your eyes and just listen to this song across the hallways It really does make you cry and happy at the same time listening to it, very beautiful
Мне кажется я никогда не забуду, как маленькая я вместе с родителями впервые смотрела этот мультфильм и ела виноград, соком которого заляпала свою любимую пижаму с Hello kitti (с тех пор это мой любимый мультфильм)
My mom gave me her love for Russia, I cannot wait to go to Saint Petersburg, Moscow and all the little cities 20km around Moscow, I want to see the fortress Sankt-Pieter-burgh, the Hermitage Museum, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, the Catherine Palace, I want to meet the Russian people and see their kindness and their romantism, Я люблю тебя, Россия ❤️
