The woman in the second video is really talented. If she just could sing in English she would be a star in west Europe.
Unfortunately, many famous European singers in their countries release albums in English and are not successful internationally. If you don't have the support of a big international record company it's no use singing in English.

I don't know many Russian tunes, BUT Finns and Russians have had a good bilateral relationship since 1945. Everything changed when Putin invaded Ukraine. And I live a few kilometers from the Russian border.
Here is my hometown:
Lappeenranta (Finnish: [ˈlɑpːeːnˌrɑntɑ]; Swedish: Villmanstrand) is a city and municipality in the region of South Karelia, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the Russian border and 64 kilometres (40 mi) from the town of Vyborg (Viipuri). It is situated on the shore of the Lake Saimaa in southeastern Finland, and is one of the most significant urban centers in the whole Saimaa region, along with the towns of Imatra, Mikkeli and Savonlinna.[6] With approximately 73,000 inhabitants (31 December 2021) Lappeenranta is the 13th largest city in Finland,[7] after incorporating the previous municipalities of Lappee and Lauritsala in 1967, Nuijamaa in 1989, Joutseno in 2009, and Ylämaa in 2010.
Lappeenranta, the region's centre for tourism, is the second most visited city by Russian tourists in Finland after Helsinki and it competes with Helsinki for the largest share of tax-free sales in Finland. Lappeenranta is a model for renewable energies and a clean living environment. Lappeenranta was the only Finnish city among the 14 finalists in the international Earth Hour City Challenge 2014, organized by WWF. In 2009, Lappeenranta was rated the fourth best in the comparison of the largest Finnish cities, while in the 2008 survey Lappeenranta was ranked fifth.[8] In a survey conducted in 2011 for business representatives, Lappeenranta ranked 17th among Finnish cities in terms of image.[9]
Opened in 1918, Lappeenranta Airport, located in the center of the city, is the oldest airport still in operation in Finland.
