Special attention is devoted to one of the central images - balalaika. This Russian folk instrument symbolises the Russian presence and involvement in armed conflicts that take place in Ukraine. It is also directly involved in the process of recording the instrumental part of the song.

Shooting of the video took place at the Motherland monument in Kiev, capital of Ukraine; the place, that links our past and present.
