Crows - To Whom Down (Cossacks edition)
This author's surrealistic video for the song "Crows" by the Ukrainian band Komu Vniz.
In this work, the deep philosophy of Oleksandr Oles and the unique spirit of Cossack freedom meet.
The video takes the viewer into the world of symbols, allegories and internal battles between will and slavery, freedom and madness.

Every day the crows fly,
Every day the crows cry:
"There they burned, There they killed, There they caught,
They took them, planted them, blinded them and rotted there...
What are you watching? "Cry." Black crows, don't croak...
We are deaf, we are deaf... "How did you become like this?"
We were drunk with dope, nails were driven into our ears,
They twisted our heads and let us live like that...
We spend the day, we spend the night, We see everything, but we don't hear it.
If they are free, why the army? "What's in your pocket?"
"What's your name?" And not free, what about Sichi
No one has called us for a long time? And we will never remember
What happened to our land
And you don't know, you crazy people, whether we are in captivity or free...
Brazenly the crows took off, They burst into loud laughter:
"Are you free? Are you free? Crazy, crazy..."
