Smolensky gusaczok is an archaic[1][2] Russian folk dance, khorovod.[3][4] The largest number of versions were recorded in most of the Smolensk Governorate,[5] as well as in parts of the Mogilev Governorate[6] (in the Gomelsky and Brestsky uezds.[7]

Participants imitate the gait, flight and habits of geese following the leader: a leisurely step, from side to side, winding lines, spirals in the drawing.[8][9][10] The leaders depict a gander and a goose, competing in a dance. Most often accompanied by chastushkas.[11][12]

History

[edit]
Notes of Smolensky gusaczok by Ustinova

The melody was known in the mid-18th century. It was recorded among Russian soldiers in the Vyborg Governorate during the War of the Hats.[13] From Vyborg, this melody was picked up by the local population and, having remade it in their own style, gave the world their own Ievan polkka.[14][15]

The final and most widespread version of Smolensky gusaczok was recorded by Tatyana Alekseevna Ustinova.[16] This sthenic version was included in the repertoire of the Pyatnitsky Russian Folk Chorus for a long time.[17][18]
