He is NOT russian, he is Gipsy. The difference is something like between Indian and Anlo-Saxon... i like Gypsy folk songs on russian 7-string guitar, especially guitar duetts and trio. trully amazing. It's a pity, that new generation of modern gipsy guitar players lost a plot completely, and migrating on 6-string. 150 years of history for them is nothing?
p.s. Why those Ukranian girls wearing traditional gipsy clothes???

I just love gypsy music, especially born in russia. Amazing. But it's a pity, that moder gypsy guitar players forgot 7-string guitar. I've seen only 50-60 years old guys, playing 7-string. all modern gypsy guitar players in russia seems to choose spanish 6-string guitar... :-(((
About Ruusian 7-string tuning D-G-B-D-G-B-D (major key tuning, adopted from harp in 18 century and intended for arpeggios and legato left hand patterns), and its variations (such as minor key verse [color=red0]D-G-C-D-G-A#-D[/color]) and E-A-B-D-G-B-D, E-G-B-D-G-B-D you can read here - http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3465&page=5 and here (with some quite interesting links to lectures about Russian 7-string and even some CD's with 7-string Russian classics) - http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/showthread.php?t=197
