"Kalinka" (Russian: Калинка) is a Russian song written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Larionov and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed.[1] Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group. I take no credit for the creation of the music or the image used in the video, I just chucked the two together for everyone's enjoyment.
