Vocal flash mob has become a creative gift of the TV5 channel to celebrate the significant day for people of Zaporozhye . On November 16th the industrial giant “Zaporizhstal” will celebrate his 83rd birthday.
“Anyone at such a solid age it is difficult to surprise for their birthday. But, but despite of the impressive age, “Zaporizhstal” is developing dynamic and young company. So we decided to give it a modern trend and thought that the song from the Soviet cult film, shot in Zaporozhye, at “Zaporizhstal” is a pleasant, soulful and memorable gift for each employee of the plant.
Moreover, in carrying out this flash mob we invested a part of the soul, as everyone in Zaporozhye feels being close to every line of the famous film, which is imbued with the spirit of people of Zaporozhye and all the factory workers, teachers and other professions”, – said General Director of TV5 Maksym Onopriyenko.
During the flash mob, held on November 13, vocalists of the Zaporozhye musical College of Mayboroda performed at the railway station “Zaporozhye-1” by singing the hit song from beloved by millions classic film “Spring on Zarechnaya street”.

The theme song from 1956 film “Spring in Zarechnaya Street”
Улица родная
Когда весна придёт, не знаю,
Пройдут дожди… Сойдут снега…
Но ты мне, улица родная,
И в непогоду дорога.
На этой улице подростком
Гонял по крышам голубей,
И здесь, на этом перекрёстке,
С любовью встретился своей.
Теперь и сам не рад, что встретил,
Моя душа полна тобой
Зачем, зачем на белом свете
Есть безответная любовь?
Зачем, зачем на белом свете
Есть безответная любовь?
Когда на улице Заречной
В домах погашены огни,
Горят мартеновские печи,
И день и ночь горят они.
Я не хочу судьбу иную.
Мне ни на что не променять
Ту заводскую проходную,
Что в люди вывела меня.
На свете много улиц славных,
Но не сменяю адрес я.
В моей судьбе ты стала главной,
Родная улица моя.
В моей судьбе ты стала главной,
Родная улица моя.
My Home Street
I do not know when spring is bound
There’ll come the rain to sweep snow clean
But you, my home street, no doubt
In nasty weather are as dear
In this same street when a teenager
I used to fly my pigeons up
At that crossroads over there
I met my first, my first true love
And now I wish I hadn’t met love
So full of you is all my soul
Why do we have love unrequited
That still exists in this wide world?
Why do we have love unrequited
That still exists in this wide world?
When in my street Zarechnaya
All lights go out in the dark
The open hearths of furnace fires
Will blaze on brightly day and night
I do not wish another man’s lot
I wouldn’t change for the whole world
That entrance point to my steel workshop
That’s made a man of me for all
The world may boast lots of famed streets
But never change address will I
To me you have become the only
The only main home street in life
To me you have become the only
The only main home street in life
Thank you for your time,
regards
Scott

Thanks Scott! I have a friend that lives in Zaporozhye. In the Oblast , not the city. He posted that video to show people how the old feelings aren’t dead. He considers himself “Russian”,as he says do many of the people there ,and is anti-junta. Though he said its hard to be outwardly so,since the fascists have based gangs of “volunteers” in the Oblast to keep people quiet.Many of the young that can,have gone to Donbass to join the NAF. He “jabs” at the junta by posting about all the economic mistakes. And makes fun of the Ukrainian claims to be “different” than Russians.He has been warned about that. But so far keeps “just” outside of a reason for them to punish him.I think in posting the video.He also wanted to highlight the difference between the rising industrial economy Zaporozhye “had” as part of the USSR,compared to destruction of the industrial economy there today.By reminding people of those days.
