I must say the songs of 70ies-80ies you posted are much better than contemporary, 2010ies ones.
To be honest, I didn't know that the Russians did in past cover songs and remake songs as well, I thought they had only their own original songs. Or rather, I thought they had very little cover songs.
On youtube we can read May of 2016. But this song got popular in the 1960s. How can this singer so good looks after 50 years since the 1960s? I can't believe this. The movie looks as a modern one and not of the 1980s or the 1990s.
It looks the clip is really a modern one, Vicky Leandros looks great even 50 years later
One more beautiful song by her from the time when the Eurovision song contest was much more worth to watch than it is now. In these years there were many winning songs in French language.
Iconic Bulgarian songs from my youth, this was before the Eu started promoting gay gipsy trannies like 'azis' as "music"
It's not a machismo or anything commercial but it's genuine and reflecting both bulgarian folklore and post-communistic time of the 90s. :

We discussed Vicky Leandros songs and especially her best hit "Love is blue". There is a very good song by the Soviet and Russian superstar Alla Pugacheva. I should say there is some feature in this song. It sounds a little other as other Soviet pop songs. Of course it isn't a remake. But... Was the composer inspired with the world hit?
Alla Pugacheva - This world (1978)
For fact that only once May happens in a year,
For bleak and faded dawn of bad rainy day
You may blame anyone in this world with a sneer,
Just don't blame me, I pray, don't blame me, I pray. https://lyricstranslate.com/ru/etot-...%80-world.html

Sea of light, summer mint, summer mint wine.
It is multicolor, elegant and crazy.
It is circling us frantically, and when the time comes
The page will fall clean on the painted sheet...
Snow will fall like a white-white, white chalk.
Tired rivers will have a white-white dream.
The garden will be white-white and enchanted.
All will be white-white wherever you look...

One old and beautiful song from Georgia. It may be debatable whether Georgia officially belongs to Europe or not but I think that Georgia has pretty much in common with Greece and the Balkans. I am not Georgian but Georgia has been one of the informal friendship-countries of Estonia.
And by the way, they say this song was the favorite song of a very well-known Georgian person from history...
Raimonds Pauls is probably the best-known and the very first name that comes to my mind when I think about Latvia. He has written a lot of songs that became well-known within Soviet Union mostly in Russian language. But here's one song in his own language, "Curonia".
Ukraina. Although I think I know only two of the Ukrainian songs - this one (and the other one is that Pidmanula-Pidvela song) - they are both excellent.
"Chervona Ruta", it seems to be the original version:
Russian cover versions. I had for some reason an impression that the Russians did not make cover versions of Western songs in their own language. However, I was wrong, they did. A beautiful version of this, in my opinion, the most anthemn-like song of the Beatles at all. Bylo, jest' i snova budet tak!

Not sure about Balkans but i would disagree about Greece, i don't think it really has many things in common. There was a Greek speaking population near Caucasus but we already consider most of its civilization different from native Greek one, let alone Greeks proper, which is mostly a Mediterranean European country with not much in common with countries in Caucasus and west Asia in general
Balkans on the other hand are a different story, they're for the most part Slavs, and i guess Georgia also has much Slavic influence through Russia
Btw isn't Georgia part of west Asia? I am asking because in case of yes, it should be discussed in Asian forum
I guess your friendship with Georgia comes from having the same common enemy
