“Putting on the Ritz” – in Moscow, no less!

Thanks to Gordon G for sending this in: The dancing was filmed on Moscow’s “overlook” in Sparrow Hills.  Looking down from the “overlook” you see the largest stadium in Russia (140K capacity). The ski jump is for practice and training – if you make a mistake, you end up in the  river below.  The church at the end opposite to the ski jump is Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church. The large building on the opposite side of the road beside the overlook is the Moscow State University and the top of the tall center tower has one of the Kremlin stars.   If you look carefully in the background of some of the shots you can see the photo drones that were probably used for the overhead scenes.
Try and not smile as you watch this.  “Putting on the  Ritz” – in Moscow, no less! What a crazy, delightful, ever changing world!  Who could have thought that in 2012 young people in Moscow would put on a “flash mob” happening, dancing to an 83 year old American song, written by a Russian-born American Jew (Irving Berlin).
