Zdravstvuyte from Russia!

Aloha to all much respected members of such a great community )
My real name is Dmitry. I'm 38 y.o. I live near Moscow.
Been playing classical guitar as amateur (and still play) for long long time. But suddenly couple years ago bought my first tiny ukulele and now I just really undecided which of the instruments I like the best...
Finally came here cause I'm eager to learn more and also think already got something to show)
Cheers!

Welcome, Dmitry! We have some other Russian members, and one or two people here can sing in Russian.
It's good to have you here.

Welcome to the forum Dmitry. It's about time we had some cool members for a change

I work with a couple of Russian lads, and there's nobody better to go for an after-work drink with.

Great! Hope I'll find them)

And just for more profound introduction here's little russian folk tune usually played on balalayka.
But I've found it sounds great on uke.

Yes indeed there's lot of experts in after-work drinking here in Russia. But also I meet more and more total abstainers...

Amazing! Where did you learn all these sophisticated words?

As for above tune it is one of the very few of my folk song arrangements for ukulele. I mostly go for Beatles and jazz evergreens.

Hello Demetrius. It is good of you to join us at UU. I am looking for lyrics and chord arrangement for: "Тёмная ночь" Can you post a link please? It is no problem for the lyrics to appear in Cyrillic.

Demetrius · Nov 1, 2014

I don't think that special arrangement of this song for ukulele exists at all. There's a lot of chords and lyrics for guitar of this song.
Many of them are not quite accurate but here's some that seem OK
