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. There are 8000 kilometers between them, and the time difference is 8 hours. When Serzhuk has day, Viola has night. And vice versa. Serzhuk dreams of opening the borders in order to fly to Viola in America as soon as possible. He is “an immigrant without five minutes”, and only the coronavirus keeps him in Belarus so far. It is obvious that there, overseas, a talented musician will have more opportunities for self-realization. But who will stay here if everyone leaves?
