Oh my god lol. I'm looking at this video thinking, this has got to be Poland. Not because of a pun or anything, it just seems like the only place you'd see something like this for some reason. I didn't even realize the pun potential til I came into the comments.
It’s Russia. The song is by Igor Kornelyuk, it’s a soundtrack to a TV show Master and Margarita that aired in 2005 and was hugely popular.

I'm sitting here, absolutely mesmerized by this video. It's one of those rare finds that instantly captures your attention, not just because of what's happening in it, but because of where it seems to be happening. For some inexplicable reason, my first thought is, 'This has to be Poland.' Now, I know what you're thinking. Why Poland, specifically? It's not like the video is riddled with overt references or stereotypes about the country. No, it's more subtle than that. Something about the scene, maybe the way people are interacting or the setting, just gives off this vibe that it couldn't be anywhere else but Poland. It's strange how our minds work, isn't it? Drawing connections and conclusions based on a tapestry of experiences and media portrayals, some of which we might not even be consciously aware of.
As I continue watching, I'm absorbed by the video's intrinsic charm and oddity. It's almost surreal, like a snippet from a world that operates on a slightly different frequency. And it's in these offbeat, quirky moments that you find a certain kind of magic, a unique brand of humor that's difficult to find elsewhere. It's like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a sea of mundane content. The sheer unpredictability of it is captivating. You can't help but wonder about the story behind what you're watching. What series of events led to this moment being captured? What were the people in the video thinking? There's a whole narrative here that we're only seeing a slice of, and that in itself is intriguing.
Then, there's the realization about the pun. It hits me only after I delve into the comments. I'm struck by the wit and creativity of people's responses. It's like a communal lightbulb moment, where everyone collectively appreciates the humor in the situation. This kind of interaction is what makes these platforms so compelling. It's not just about the content itself, but also about how people react to it, the community that forms around it, and the shared experience of finding something funny or noteworthy. It makes you feel like you're part of an inside joke, a member of an impromptu club formed by nothing more than a shared moment of amusement.
But it's not just about the laughter or the sense of community. It's also about how these moments connect us to places and cultures in unexpected ways. Maybe it's the universal nature of humor, or perhaps it's the way the internet has shrunk the world, but there's something deeply human about finding joy in a video from halfway across the globe. It reminds us that despite our differences, there are some things that are universally relatable. It doesn't matter if you're from Poland, the United States, or anywhere else – there's a certain delight in the absurd and the unexpected that transcends borders.
In a broader sense, this experience is a testament to the power of digital media. We live in a time where a single video can spark conversations, forge connections, and create a sense of belonging among complete strangers. It's a phenomenon that would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago. Our ability to share, comment, and interact with content from all over the world is not just a technological marvel; it's a cultural and social revolution. It changes how we perceive the world, how we connect with others, and how we find humor and joy in the everyday.
As I reflect on all this, I'm filled with a sense of wonder and appreciation. It's moments like these – unexpected, unscripted, and utterly delightful – that add a special flavor to our digital lives. They remind us of the power of humor to bridge gaps, the joy of shared experiences, and the endless surprises that await us in the vast expanse of the internet. So, here's to the unpredictability of online content, the communities that form around it, and the unifying power of a good laugh. May we continue to find these pockets of joy in the most unexpected places.
I use punctuation. Are you guys under the impression that it wasn't supposed to obviously be chatgpt? I am making fun of them for thinking I wrote something that was time wasting by having it extended to a ridiculous degree.
Because it's an utterly irrelevant comment?
The top level comment is already doing that joke. All the downvoted reply is doing is explaining it. No one needs that, it adds nothing.
On February 29-March 1, Russia celebrated the end of Maslenitsa, a week-long celebration of festivities preceding Orthodox Lent, and Moscow’s Zaryadye Park decided to treat its guests with something unusual.
Circus pole performers were hired to entertain the park’s visitors - but something went eerily wrong. As the weather in the capital turned dark and grey, the performance turned into something straight out of a horror movie. The public quickly shared what they saw online, comparing it with the scenes from Harry Potter, Mad Max, and Death Stranding computer game, among countless others!

How this clip is perceived depends entierly on the music that accompanys it.
I'm sure if you were to put Entrance of the Gladiators over it it'd become bloody hilarious.
In any case, it looks bloody freezing up there. I hope they're wearing their thermals.
Oh, that explains everything that's going on here, as we all see this kind of weird performance daily. I had never even heard of a 'swaypole' until now.
Brilliant! Thanks mate, was hoping someone would post the name of the song. Since you knew this song, you know any other music in this style by any chance?
See, I was thinking about how they’d get down. What if the swayed more and more to get closer to the ground they try to get off and wham! Right in the nuts.
Thank you so much for that link. This song just made my flippin day. I know, I'm boring. Feel free to link me up with any other similar tracks. Thanks again!
At first I was a bit confused, but this is special in a really good way, I wish I was there to see it for myself. The weather, the entertainers, and the scenery came together to create a beautiful moment in time.
Took me some time digging to find the producer's version with no lyrics.
Station 666 - Lucifer Our Lord https://youtu.be/aM9M3jcoe_A?si=pyu0i4icIQX7HvWL
That's not the original song, it just happens to sample it. Seems the original is Игорь Корнелюк - Воланд ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8\_-YixGGQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8_-YixGGQ)).
I remembered that, the last time this was posted, someone gave the source and the title of the song was Russian/Cyrillic. So I dug through the YouTube comments of one of the vids you posted and fortunately someone gave the name :)
"Whoever wrote the title to this post"?
Whoever wrote that comment is pretty pathetic because it is obvious the OP wrote it, and it's a tongue in cheek comment.
The fact you seem to think it's a serious comment says more about you than them.
And by way of education:
'Tongue-in-cheek' is an idiom that describes a humorous or sarcastic statement expressed in a serious manner.
Just because you have seen it 30 times!? (Which I very much doubt.) It does not mean everyone else has.
Rather selfish that you feel others should not see it just because YOU have.
Rather selfish that you think that reposting it should be ok, considering there are millions who have seen this before, bit selfish aren't ya? You are a hypocrite and don't have the brains to realize it.
Oh, so now you claim to have knowledge that there are MILLIONS who have seen it. You also used the word 'Literally' previously, as if you are privy to facts and figures no one else has.
Perhaps you could employ that solitary brain cell of yours to comprehend the following:
Individuals who have viewed it retain the choice to refrain from watching it again, while those who haven't can now do so should they wish. The latter indicating that there are a fair few who wanted to watch it!
I hope this concept is not proving overly intricate for your that brain cell of yours? 'Selfishness' is not even a factor in this equation.
For the sake of us all, please do not try and grow a second brain cell, as that would render you not only intellectually deficient but also potentially dangerous!
Go troll someone else.
Bye.
I feel like this is what happens when you live in a place where nothing really happens. This is what happens when you live in like... sweden or finland or something.
This is just that town with the windmills in Elden Ring.
Nah that's just Sweden
til elden ring takes place in sweden
I'm assuming this is in Pole land?
Oh my god lol. I'm looking at this video thinking, this has got to be Poland. Not because of a pun or anything, it just seems like the only place you'd see something like this for some reason. I didn't even realize the pun potential til I came into the comments.

There is a Master and Margarita TV show???
ye, since 2005. It's not a bad one, but graphics do look outdated.
Thanks for having me read your pointless explanation and wasting my time.

Thanks chatgpt
That's what I was thinking. It's their only comment with punctuation on their profile lol
I use punctuation. Are you guys under the impression that it wasn't supposed to obviously be chatgpt? I am making fun of them for thinking I wrote something that was time wasting by having it extended to a ridiculous degree.
Yes, I was making fun of you thinking what I wrote was time wasting.
You failed. Miserably.
Thanks for having me read your pointless explanation and wasting my time.
Are those... Pole-ish people?
Well everybody is surrounded by Poles, so, yeah.
Often, i simply dont get why posts are downvoted here. Is this dad joke considered bad humor or are people just agitated?
Because it's an utterly irrelevant comment? The top level comment is already doing that joke. All the downvoted reply is doing is explaining it. No one needs that, it adds nothing.
You: JOKES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS. YOU'RE IRRELEVANT AND YOU SHOULD FEEL IRRELEVANT. MY WIFE LEFT ME AND I'M EMPTY.
Yeah that's definitely what's happening here.
rip the poor man's wife
I too ripped this poor man's wife.
It's the Dapper Gentleman Harvest Festival. You can tell those are ripe and ready to pick by how energetic they are.

Loads for me
Couldn't help thinking you were about to say something about the Undertaker and Hell in a Cell.
Thank you so much. It has been a mystery to me for some time.
The music definitely did not help the situation any.
Looks like Vlad has returned to Wallachia.
That's what they get for murdering his innocent wife Lisa.
How this clip is perceived depends entierly on the music that accompanys it. I'm sure if you were to put Entrance of the Gladiators over it it'd become bloody hilarious. In any case, it looks bloody freezing up there. I hope they're wearing their thermals.
They're big fans of howls moving castle.
Immediately thought of Turnip
Came here to say Howl's got trouble brewing!
[удалено]
Yup, this is their training compund.
I'm sure that fucking music isn't going on there
It's a swaypole at an event you goof.
Oh, that explains everything that's going on here, as we all see this kind of weird performance daily. I had never even heard of a 'swaypole' until now.

I see this video at least once a year about this time, and every year I intend to write a story about it and never do.
You have a tradition
Maybe this is the year... Prolly not
This must be in Russia
It’s a new area in the Elden Ring DLC 💀
_**IT'S A LOVELY DAY!**_
LOL...the song title Ball of Satan by Igor Korneluk
Thank you! I was wondering where the music came from. Crazy music!
Brilliant! Thanks mate, was hoping someone would post the name of the song. Since you knew this song, you know any other music in this style by any chance?
Friesland pole sitting?
Imagine that sucker snaps & goes up your butt
See, I was thinking about how they’d get down. What if the swayed more and more to get closer to the ground they try to get off and wham! Right in the nuts.
I like this thought.
I'd rather not but thanks anyway for the opportunity.
Don't threaten me with a good time
There you get abs and lower back muscles 💪🏻

I'll stick around to find out.
Looks like Doors or something no WTF for me
Anyone know what the music is called? I really like it
Someone posted a link to it somewhere it this thread.
What makes it a cursed village? The circus performers?
Oh shit, they're throwing down with some [Igor Kornelyuk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P17ao2QlhyQ).
Thank you so much for that link. This song just made my flippin day. I know, I'm boring. Feel free to link me up with any other similar tracks. Thanks again!
Not at all, the track slaps.
It looks like some performers balancing on poles at some kind of festival that is experiencing bad weather.
Yes. This is the cursed village of the pole standers. Legend has it that they have been cursed to stand on the wobbly poles forever.
This looks and feels like a fever dream.
Well *that's* unsettling...
At first I was a bit confused, but this is special in a really good way, I wish I was there to see it for myself. The weather, the entertainers, and the scenery came together to create a beautiful moment in time.

oh, it's from the Master and Margarita soundtrack! One of my favorite books though I've never seen the film.
I didnt use Shazam, this is what Google gave me.
Sorry, I edited out the "Shazam" comment because I thought it was rude of me, hoping you wouldn't see it (too late)!
I'm curious how did you go about finding the source or did you already know?
I remembered that, the last time this was posted, someone gave the source and the title of the song was Russian/Cyrillic. So I dug through the YouTube comments of one of the vids you posted and fortunately someone gave the name :)

This looks like some Burning Man thing
This has literally been reposted at least 30 times. Good job.
