DU Classical Music fans: I need your help identifying the music on this Russian propaganda video



(This cheerful young woman is Maria Katasonova, a close associate of Konstantin Rykov, the Kremlin propagandist who claimed to have run an operation to get Trump elected.)

I know it’s a strange request and a bit of a bummer but it’s for a project I’m currently working on and it’s killing me. So any help at all in identifying the time is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

And, he's accused of being anti-Semitic, so fits a right-wing profile.....

Right after Russia had invaded Eastern Ukraine.

Katasonova also starred in a 2017 music video about the US election titled rather audaciously “Russian Hacker.”

Not always, but often the music is listed on YouTube. Scroll down just a bit until you see "SHOW MORE" and click on it. The name of the piece and the composer are given.

Or, just read Donkees' reply.
