Russian and Ukrainian traditional music, and even some of the pop, has what we call the ‘polka’ sound, which is a two beat tempo. Russian folk songs on the other hand are beautiful. And some of them are quite funny. If you study both nordic, germanic, and slavic pagan holidays you see what we used to be like not so very long ago. It’s more obvious in the baltics and ukraine since they were under less political and commercial pressure. The baltics held out until 1500’s.
