[Closed] We get Susan Boyle, in the Ukraine it's rather more high-brow

and quite moving[/url]

So accompanying explanation:

[i]This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into the monument to Ukraine's Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man in uniform standing outside waving goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed, with 8-11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.[/i]
