This is quite amazing and something I had to put up to share with you. This was on the Ukrainian TV show Україна має талант similar to Britain's got Talent. This was the work of the 2009 winner Kseniya Simonova and her amazing abilities in creating sand drawings to music. The one below is a great example of what she creates, it is telling the story of love and war during The Patriotic War which most of us would know as World War 2.
She tells the story starting at the beginning of the war with a radio announcement about Germany invading the Soviet Union, through to the end of the war and returning to a new life back home. The Ukraine was one of the most devastated countries from the WW2 conflict with 1 in 4 Ukrainians dying during the fighting and a total loss of nearly 8 million Ukrainians with some of these losses coming from the jewish being taken to death camps. The country was left in ruins and Ksenyia was depicting a story which was really touching showing a small part of life within the Ukraine created stunningly to a mix of old and modern songs. At the end she signs off in Russian 'With us, in our hearts'.
