You know the one — the dancers squat down with arms folded and kick. If a Husky Russkie is celebrating a victory for Glorious Mother Russia, he is 90% likely to be doing this dance. Actually, it's commonly known as the Cossack Dance, but this is one of those cases of mislabeling by foreigners that Did Not Do the Research. In Ukraine, "Cossack Dance" or Kazatsky, is another name for the Ukrainian Hopak stage dance. The squat-and-kick move is properly called Preesyadkee (knee-bending) and is just one part of the dance, but it's the only part known to most non-Russians. It's one of the more difficult parts of the dance, requiring good balance and leg muscle strength, but of course Mother Russia Makes You Strong.

Kazachok is a Ukrainian folk dance sometimes confused with it. Fun fact: There is a martial art based on Hopak dancing. Because In Soviet Russia, dance battles YOU!
