We wanted a long time to share a video of our first Siberian performance. In 2017, we flew to Abakan and took a bus from there to the village of Shushenskoye, where the World of Siberia festival was held. Theodor Bastard were announced as one of the festival headliners. Amazing reception by Siberians, drive. Despite the cold and rain, it was something great. We are glad to present you a live video of the Zima song with good sound, recorded at the World of Siberia festival.
