Alexandrov Choir

Preserving cultural institutions during a time of war has always been an important way to maintain morale in trying times.
During the Great Patriotic War, the original and traditional songs performed by the Alexandrov Choir helped many people get through the most trying period in Russian history.
Today, the people of Donbass face attacks on civilians, infrastructure and their very way of life at the hands of the fascist regime in Kiev.

On the 25th of December, 2016, a plane crash off the coast of Sochi killed the majority of the Alexandrov Choir, the most beloved vocal ensemble in Russia.
The tragedy was felt not only in Russia but around the world where for decades the Alexandrov Choir has delighted audiences from China to America, Britain to Finland.
The ill-fated plane was en route to Syria where the choir was due to perform for Russian and Syria troops during the Christmas season.
