Legend says the cigarette is still burning to this day
Doge Charger holy hell i never expected you to be here!
Doge Charger he took it out halfway through.
Still to this day
Yes as someone who has watched I can tell you he chucks it as to not emit 2nd hand smoke near the child,those of us whom bring darkness, give it to those who deserve it, not the innocents
Legend says he’s still playing in the middle of War right now
Flashbacks of fallen comrades!
I love that the little girl looks and trys so hard to understand, but decided to just dance instead. Theres a lesson there
thats innocence bro. children dont understand the terrible things that man can do to man yet
F from Greece, this has a deeper meaning than y'all think. He was a piano tutor. He appeared in Vice News' video called "Ukraine Burning". He doesnt belong to any party, nor support any ideology.
His wife and child died duing the Ukraine protesting and he decided to play piano in public to support the activists.
The song is : Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche
If this is true I hope this man is alive and well he deserves everything he wants
Любовь и уважение
Where in the video did he appear?
Welp that's depressing
I don't know why, but this is really emotional. The look in his eyes, the people around him, the little kid dancing, the ring on his finger. Something about it all really gets me.
i would've liked twice if i could.
Ogopogo same it's like something happened and the song is reminding him of all the war and how we should just get all long and be peaceful unite as one country instead of dividing and going our separate ways
It reminds you of the human.
"I don't know why" (proceeds to tell exactly why). Watch your words.

That was good 😂
smooth..
battlefield?
?
I know it old but it's so true
If this doesn't humanize the current conflict I don't know what does. The cigarette and the little girl and the lady's shoes and the notation and dude's eyes. That is some powerful imagery.
certainly it is. Peace!😊
I remember watching this video years ago when it was first posted, what's been happening recently instantly made me think of this man. I hope Ukraine gets through this, much love from the USA.
same
Bro same I was always wondering where this video went and didn’t bother to look it up til now.
the man sadly died in the war
@@BloodbornEnthusiast no way mane
@@BloodbornEnthusiast how do you know what's your source?
there are many stories about him.some say hes a soldier that died, some say hes a pianist that protesting and some say hes still alive. but we all can agree that hes just lost someone, or something..maybe his country? his home? family? lets just pray for him and ukraine.. F again from Malaysia..
nah, pianist-extremist is well known in ukraine, he ain't no soldier.
@@ashk.7463 He is a soldier but not in the Ukrainian army, I think he was in one of the volunteer battalions or national Guard.
@@Nechayev_ maybe you're right, i watched vice news about ukraine conflict and it was confusing. i dont know which army is which and whose side are they on.
Heres info about this guy:

His wife and child died, and decided to play piano in public to support the activists.
СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ, ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!
это же на майдане было?
So he supported the 2015' Ukrainian pro-European Revolutionaries by just touching the piano? And he's a soldier, and again, supported the 2015 Ukrainian Revolution. But still he's apolitical?

whats confirmed is this man was a Ukraine Freedom fighter who protested through playing piano at the front of the protests. His family was killed in bombings and he chose to play the piano after finding one abandoned on the streets. Its a pretty heartbreaking story and you can read about him by searching up the Piano Man protestor
Feels like cap not gonna lie
@@user-kt1ro5up9e I thought the same thing
@@user-kt1ro5up9e Yeah, I'm Ukrainian and have never heard of this. Looked for it through Ukrainian news and posts and found nothing

@@vb1194 yeah I’m Ukrainian too, scoured the web for this story. No luck
thank you CZcams for recommending me a video of a Ukrainian soldier playing "A cruel angel's thesis" on the piano to look up the original video and give respect to this good man
The song isn't even a cruel angel's thesis aswell

"You see Ivan, when want to win, you must first make enemy cry, then victory shall come easy"

He takes solace in a small moment where he can express himself again.
Nauya beautifully said
It's enough to make a grown man cry
And that's okay
Even though he might be gone now, his memory will live on forever, in these insane times
What happened to him?
@@seankenny7799 as i recall,he lost his familly when the Crimea situation happened. I havent looked for him since, but its safe to assume he is likely gone by now...
Vid: 2016
Me: 2018, how have I not watched this
Me too.
yeah it suddenly pop in my recommend list
I've just noticed that most of the top comments are just 3 days ago
I love how the balaclava is just a part of him
The song is called nuvole bianche for those looking for it!!!
Thanks...
One of the best scenes in Saving Private Ryan was when Tom Hanks, admits to his fellow soldiers that he's a school teacher. Soldiers are ordinary people, this man could have been a musician, or music teacher before he dressed in fatigues and covered his face. Whats heart breaking is in extreme situations like WWII and the conflict in Ukraine, protesting isn't enough and ordinary people are forced to fight for what's right. We see armed soldiers and we forget that soldiers are humans too (on both sides), they have lives, families, feelings and emotions. Whats beautiful for me is how this mans talents bridge that gap. It's a reminder that he is still a human, and although lost a lot, still believes in hope for a better future.
Funny thing the guy isn’t a soldier. He’s a protestor. He wears body armor and a mask as a message. Anyone can behind the mask. The only thing we know about the guy is he had a wife and kid and they both died.
Random guy : Sir do you know how to piano?
Soldier : *Light my cigarette*
s0mething LOL
XD
You gain the knowledge to be a soldier, but you never forget how to be human.
One of the most inspiring things to witness I found this video 5 years ago and today this day I visit it every few or so months, during corona this shows, even in the darkness light can be found, be safe everyone
@Reeves He literally stated that he found it 5 years ago, don’t be so negative.
At 1:45 it really got me...its pure magic....the guy playing with his balaclava and the little girl dancing in the background. Its so touching. At some point its like you can see his soul through the small openings of the balaclava....all the humility, all the hope, all the passion and all the love. Its a masterpiece. I will never forget what I just witnessed.
When all his teammates rushed B and died and he is alone now.
lmao
Red Tie like if you cried
Red Tie lol
God dammit ash I told you not to rush B with defuser.
RUSH B RUSH B * they would all die* soldier:I wrote this song in their name

"Hero"
He was a commander in Nazi German army, and was one of the people responsible for a slaughter of 50.000-100.000 Polish civilians in Volhyn (most of them women and children). I'm sure Ukraine has better heroes to commemorate in the present time.

This just might be the most Slavic thing in existence.
This is pretty emotional. If only life had turned out different for him. You could tell how touched the crowd was too.
Its a shame moments like these disapear due to the internet... such a sad but beautiful moment
This soldier is a good example of innocent souls being forced to fight a war they didnt even want.who knows how many musical and other inoccent souls are being wasted and killed in war.
Ski mask, cigarette, piano and a beautiful heart. No other video is more Slavic
cody aldi it could only be more Slavic if he was playing it in the zone.(from Stalker)
he needs some adidas and its perfect
I love the fact that when the faster part begins at 2:12 he starts missing some notes but then he just closes his eyes and lets himself guide by the flow of the song and nails it
Is that..
IS THAT A CREO PROFILE PICTURE!?

Nah he shows his life right? Thats why its called life of boris to show how great his life is dont get into the deep stuff stay happy and positive
This is no soldier. This man is the Piano Extremist, a famous revolutionary figure whose real name nobody knows. He challenges the Ukrainian security forces, but never fires a shot. He just plays the piano and lets the haunting melodies do the work of unnerving the security forces.
so is he a bad guy or a good guy?
@@omgukra He is a good guy. All he wants is a better life for not just himself, but all Ukrainians across the country. He plays the piano because he wants to show the world that the revolution is cultured. "There aren't just working class people here," he once said in an interview, "but also musicians, teachers, and artists...all together."
@@TheTrainChasingPoet1999 i see, i am ukrainian myself but have lived in the uk since 2008 so my knowledge of such people is very little as even though ukraine’s issues affect my heart and my family who live there i tend to never see the full extent as its obvious the difference in lifestyle and things. so if this account and this guy is factual then i’m really happy with him and his message. thank you for telling me about him.
I think they know who this dude is because he let fingerprints on piano
@@exopurp1718 not how that exactly works kid
I come back to this video when I need to feel
To all of the people wondering this is Bogdan "The Piano Extremist". Dude lost his wife and kid and was feeling Terrible as you might expect. Then the maidan protests happened, he saw the piano and started to play. Last I heard he had a full time job playing for Ukrainian soldiers on their bases and in hospitals. He even wrote a song for a friend of his who was killed in the conflict. He has a soundcloud with various covers on. Just search "piano extremist" on there.
iirc He's in the documentary "Piano" too, giving an interview
Its not about the soldier
Its about how he magically made the cig disappear
Do yu now da wae?
I thought my life was crap, then i found out what this lovely man had been through, makes you think.
I come back here every now and then but never looked into the guy, you found some facts?
@@digital_u4ia Hi, bro. Now i will show you a title from UA wiki.
Piano Extremist (also vidomy yak Pianist Maidanu) - Ukrainian pianist and composer, artist. The history of the people, as she opened the image, flying around the weight of the lights. The image, which was formed by the bitter generation of Ukrainians on the way to the Maidan, the hour of the Revolution of Dignity. The founders of important historical warehouses and, through the author's talent for the project, up to classical music, the genre of his master's creativity can be called historical neoclassic.
@@digital_u4ia yea he has a Instagram page where he post his music and art.
@@Robert-tf3ch What’s his Instagram?
Who's here after Russia declared war on Ukraine?

And before. This vid has aged well.
This is one of the best glimpses into the reality of war. Men and women with their own talent, lives, and families dying to protect their people. Fight on Ukraine, one day we will be at peace in our home.

2:01 look at him, his eyes. I feel very bad for him.
His eyes beg for peace
@The Crusader bad joke, doesnt fit it. This man maybe saw his best buddies die in the battle for Ukraine and you are making jokes out of it. Have some shame.
F for this man, he lost his family almost about everything, and he is playing a piano in public...such a trooper and he has gained my respect
how do you know he lost his family?(just asking,)
@@stefanobergamasco889 if i am correct and this is the same man, there is a video or article about an interview with him, in which he discusses he lost his wife and child, and how he was previously a school teacher i believe (i could have forgotten)
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
He play piano track
Literally the funniest thing I've seen today.
He play piano tracc
Bruh its been 1 years since i saw this vid and everytime i came back the comments are always so recent.
First time I saw this video was back in 2014 or so and it was on tumblr lol, but whenever this song pops up in my head I always think of this man. I haven’t visited this video in a while, wild how recent these comments all are. Although it’s kinda spammed right now but you can feel this mans soul through his music.
Pouring one out for Ukraine right now while revisiting this classic. For those in country, stay safe. For those watching from afar, I know you're doomscrolling right now but close out that social media app for the sake of your mental health
Behind the gear, weapons and the mask, there is always a "someone"
Whoah that was deep dude... :O
Commies aren't people
The commie fucking ruined it
yea like leninism, stalinism, maoism, such a great systems. muh but it wasn't real socialism
It’s sadly beautiful isn’t it? A man dressed in all black, with a bullet vest, coving his face, clearly fighting for what he believes in. Yet he’s playing such a elegant instrument, an instrument that requires skill and a civilized character. This is one of the most powerful videos this decade yet it’s been virtually forgotten.
"Bullet vest" lmao
saddest part is his wife and child are dead and he moved there to start over then the revolution happened and now this is him
ok boomer
@@Tincan2424 Wrong context.
Hello There scram
In another posted they made him was playing Evangelion's theme, but hopefully someone put the original vid of this guy played piano and this is a nice song I just heard
In all honesty; that video helped me see this man play
Yeah I’m here from that video it was linked in the comments
The things that makes this sad is
The backstory
The purpose he's doing this
The song itself

Such a weird irony, man in dark stealth/scary outfit with cigarette hanging out, playing beautiful music 🎶. This video represents the layers of war in a sad, beautiful way. Bravo 👏🏽
You can see him playing from his soul
He didn't die
I agree. May Ukraine survive this horror and prevail.
That’s A LOT of beauty, even with a hidden face….I just LISTENED to his soul and I’m in LOVE

i haven’t cried in 5 years , but this got me and i wept like a child. i hope he lives a safe life , i heard his entire family was killed and that broke my heart combined with the song. good on this man.
There is something rather poetic about this. A young man, his face covered yet his person comes through in his music, a child dances in the background, the disparity between their lives and experiences are so great, yet in this moment their is a commonality between them, and it’s built on the universal human element of music.
John Sierra Kind of just like we are all having this strange experience of coming from all corners of CZcams to be united by the reccomendation system causing this beautiful video to suddenly gain tons of views? Really amazing.
Abram Fitch well said.
Bomb has been planted right in my feels.
god bless
F for this man.
He has lost as much as I have.
Salute from the U.S can't be there to support you physically but in sprit iam there
Us intervention would probably lead to an even worse fate for the war. It's too delicate diplomatically.
He's not a Ukrainian Soldier but infact was an extremist apart of a militia group, he lost his wife and child to war but at some point he decided to undergo the name "The Piano Extremist" and vocalize his views and ideologies by playing music rather than undergoing anymore violence. God damn that's beautiful.
Indeed
Hidden Killer Google the Piano extremist. Not hard to do.

Something about the pain in his eyes, his beautiful talent, and a child innocently enjoying the moment . Powerful
This shows just what a soldier is. A person. Under the Kevlar and armor, its a person. Ukraine, moreso than most places, is that place where every soldier is a chef, a bookkeeper, a pianist like here, or something other. They're just people
And as a family as well (the ring he has )...
Every man is a brother, father, uncle, grandpa, you name it. I love how this brings that out
who knows?
No he work with me he Russian komrade
The kid feels so comfortable around the soldier painist. ^^ That's so cute.
Truly amazing came back years after seeing this video. I’m really astonished with the beauty of life even someone forged in the furnace of war and seen the stillness of death can appreciate the beautiful things in life such as music and play the piano so well. Just goes to show we’re all a complex arrangement of experiences.
Goddamn the cigarette got me
Never forget even soldiers are humans in their inside.
remember that we are human period.
Background info from CNN in 2014, this guy moved to Ukraine after his wife and son died, take note of the wedding ring. He was volunteering in the revolution at the time, saw this piano in a square and decided to play, and from then on he was known as the "Piano Extremist."
You're making me cry
langis Too bad he's a fascist
Red Guard shut up ok?
Crazy how this was 6 years ago
The song makes me think of closing my eyes and going on a long journey. Going through memories and coming back to myself.
I bet he misses his wife, possibly children. Poor soul, you can hear it in his playing.
You can tell he's having flashbacks
Every man got a defintion of beauty and just because a man defends his land does'nt mean he's attacking others. Just because you don't see the beauty in a persons view does'nt mean that it is'nt there
After all this years, still tears. I hope god will take care of all brave soldiers.

Apparently the guy playing the piano lost his wife and child due to the civil war in Ukraine. I hope he found peace, this music is a representation of what a beautiful soul he has in my opinion. God bless.
Jack Doe everyone has lost in Ukraine due to the war, it’s heartbreaking and doesn’t see an end in sight
That's sad :/
It’s not a civil war, it’s an invasion
What can we do?😭
I pray for you. But as you know many Russians are ordinary people as we are. I wish that the war makers get off from our earth.
This man from his back story Somthing that I fear very day his actions and his beautiful piano playing has made me cry genuine tears which I have not in close to a decade I thank him for everything he's doing for all he does I have never felt the way I did listening this and you have helped me shed well needed tears thankyou
My respects to you
Ironic, this could be shot today and it would seem very fitting.
