I can't quite say that I've ever seen a choir that looked this undisciplined. One of the advantages of Western sanctions against Russia is that it will now be deprived of such enrichments.
Black choirs, or perhaps just black people, all have to dance and move around. I'd seen a few such choirs as a kid growing up in the American South, and I don't think discipline is ever something they would have been known for.
Russians do seem to culturally appreciate "high-quality" arts, whatever you'd call that--meaning orchestra, ballet, opera, and the like. There's almost no respect for that in American culture. You ask someone about Beethoven, you're more likely to get told about the Disney movie.
I saw some guy on YouTube walk through a Russian mall, and all the banned stores were there with different names.
The only thing that keeps intellectual property "valuable" is government enforcement, which is a bad thing if you're a country that only produces paper and not physical products.
