Serzhuk and Viola are husband and wife. And they are figures of the Belarusian culture. Serzhuk Dolgushev is the leader and vocalist of the Vurai group, the keeper of Belarusian folklore. Through his efforts, folklore expeditions to Belarusian villages are organized, and unique Belarusian songs and rituals are recorded. And Viola helps her husband promote Belarusian traditions. Two years ago, Viola won a green card, and together with Serzhuk they went to America. A new musical project "Slavalacha" was born there, which included American, Ukrainian and Belarusian musicians. Serzhuk is among them. In 2020, a number of Slavalacha concerts were to take place in America. Viola just went to the US to promote this and other cultural projects there. Soon Serzhuk was supposed to fly away for her, but did not have time - because of the coronavirus, the borders were closed. Now every day husband and wife meet only on the Internet.
