Music video for Sergei Trofimov's song Motherland was filmed at the RUSSIA EXPO

Dozens of performers took part in the recording of the music video for the song Motherland by Sergei Trofimov. These are visitors to the RUSSIA EXPO from different corners of our country, who underwent a special casting.

The video was also filmed at the exposition. The organizers noted that they prepared a new clip for all Russians as a gift for Christmas.

The series of such videos under the general title Songs of a Great Country was launched by the team of the #MUSICTOGETHER project headed by producer and musician Timur Vedernikov with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives and the Rosatom Territory of Culture program.

"I have been singing the song Motherland by Sergei Trofimov practically since its release at all my concerts. In my opinion, it is one of the most poignant modern songs about Russia, about our Motherland, and Sergei Trofimov is one of the best songwriters of our time. When we were choosing songs for the project, it was absolutely obvious to me that we should sing this song with the whole country, because everything it sings about is our Motherland", - said Timur Vedernikov.

About 300 people took part in the casting for the shooting of the video. Several singers and musicians were selected from them to star in the clip. They are residents of Moscow, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Obninsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm, Birobidzhan, Kirov, Barnaul, Voronezh, Syzran, Kaliningrad and other cities.

Among them there are participants of the duet Yasti Mikhail and Valentina Yasybash, singer Alexander Chateau, soloist of the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army named after Alexandrov Maxim Maklakov, vocalist Inna Kameneva, poet Pavel Pikovsky, violinist from Armenia Edgar Hakobyan, balalaika player Elena Vorfolomeeva, accordionist Valery Syomin, soloist of the Sakhalin Philharmonic Polina Pivovarova, as well as the Celebration Choir of the Danilovsky Monastery and a string quartet from the Gnessin School of Music.

This video is already the third in the series. The first was a video for the song I Will Never Forget My Friend If I Befriended Him in Moscow, which was also filmed at the International RUSSIA EXPO. This song was first performed in the cult Soviet movie They Met in Moscow.
