The A. V. Alexandrov Russian army twice red-bannered academic song and dance ensemble (Russian: Дважды краснознаменный академический ансамбль песни и пляски Российской армии имени А. В. Александрова, Dvazhdy krasnoznamenny akademichesky ensemble pesni i plyaski Rossiyskoy armii imeni A. V. Alexandrova), shortly the Alexandrov ensemble (Russian: Ансамбль Александрова, Ensemble Alexandrova) is a performing ensemble that serves as the official army choir of the Russian armed forces.
The ensemble consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble. The songs they perform range from Russian folk tunes to church hymns, operatic arias and popular music; examples include The Volga Boatmen's Song, Katyusha, Kalinka sample , Kernina and Ave Maria. After the Soviet period, the ensemble has continued performing, entertaining audiences both inside and outside Russia.
The second popular chois is Bolshoy Children Choir of the Central TV and Radio of the USSR
Recently I have found an very interesting documentary about tragic destiny one of the great star of this choir Sergey Paramonov:
The talented child star never adapted after his voice changed. The system was pretty cruel and after exploiting a young start for five years or so (like in John Kenneth Galbraith's quote "Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite"). After that he has left on the street with no money to sustain himself after he cannot perform anymore. But psychologically he already cannot be anything but a star and probably need help pf a psychologist to adapt. But nobody prepared him to the evitable changes and that trauma lead to chronic alcohol dependency and early death. Still his best performances will long bring people joy and happiness:
