I agree. Definitely not in the previous Fadeyechev version and more Russian in character than Spanish, I felt.
It's funny, that you think that dance is Russian in character.
This dance is called "Jig", and it is supposed to be the dance of drunken British sailors.
As I have found in the Internet, the dance was made in 1940th by Rostislav Zakharov to music by V. Soloviev-Sedoy (This composer is well-known in Russia for his songs.)
I'm afraid so. Three others, I think, none of them names with which I'm familiar. Short insets, I'd say, but in markedly different styles.
Use is made in the production of choreography by Rostislav Zakharov (Dance with Guitars and Jig to music by V. Soloviev-Sedoy); by Kasiyan Goleizovsky (Gipsy Dance to music by V. Zhelobinsky); by Anatoly Simachev (Fandango to music by E. Napravnik).
