Ukraine Has Got Talent!

5 January 2010 One Comment

This young lady has got some talent, and Man of Spin is not the only one saying this, as Kseniya Simonova has won very recently, Ukraine’s Got Talent!

Kseniya is a sand artist!  Yes, that’s right!  Look before you leap… into a response, that is!

Here is how that great source of solid information describe her…

Kseniya Simonova (born 1985 as ?????? ????????) is a sand animator from Ukraine. She started drawing with sand after her business collapsed due to the early 21st century credit crunch and had been drawing for less than a year when she entered Ukraine’s Got Talent.[1] She became the 2009 winner of that show,[2] constructing an animation that portrayed life during the USSR’s Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.

Simonova won 1,000,000 Ukrainian Hryvnia (approx. USD125,000) for her first place in the show.[3] A YouTube video of the performance has received more than 10 million hits.[4]

As noted, this young lady’s video on YouTube has hit ‘phenom’ status, where she created an animation that portrayed life during the USSR’s Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.

The thing that stood out for me was not only her talent, but the impact on those who watched… They Remember!…

It is well worth your viewing and your time!

Enjoy…
