On June 28, on the Day of the Constitution of Ukraine, more than a thousand Ukrainians and foreigners in different parts of the world united in the performance of the song " Oh, there's a red viburnum in the meadow" - the famous song of the Ukrainian Sich riflemen, which has now become a real anthem of Ukraine's struggle against the Russian invaders for its freedom and independence. The central location of the event was the city of Lviv. Live broadcasts were carried out in 47 countries from 60 locations.
In Poland the song was sung in three cities: Warsaw, Wroclaw and Krakow. The participants of the presentation of the educational manual Book for Preschoolers, published for Ukrainian children abroad within the financial support of the Cifers Foundation, joined in setting a song record in Warsaw. The event took place in the Warsaw Public Library, where adults and children, mostly refugees from Ukraine, gathered.
The goal of setting the record was to raise funds for the "1000 Freedom Cars" project and draw attention to Ukraine of the world. "Oh, there's a red viburnum in the meadow" is not just a popular Ukrainian musical piece. Today it is the most famous song in the world, associated with the will, invincible spirit and great patriotism of the Ukrainian people, who are heroically resisting the Russian invaders. "Red viburnum" is sung by soldiers on the front lines and children in courtyards, artists at concerts and believers in churches. Even Pink Floyd released a cover with Andrii Khlyvniuk's vocals. The world supports Ukraine in various ways. And by participating in the setting of this song record, we demonstrate not only our support for Ukraine, but also show that we are united in our love for it, in our desire for a peaceful sky over the Ukrainian land, and in our desire to win over the enemy. And looking at the enthusiasm with which little Ukrainians sing this song, the belief that Ukraine will overcome any enemy and everything will be fine increases a hundredfold," shared her impressions of participating in the event, co-founder of the foundation Anastasia Cifers.
The initiator of setting the song record was the International Headquarters for Aid to Ukrainians, and the organizer was the Lviv Regional Military Administration with the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
