 * Weak support It would be more interesting to see the same one minute before midnight and trace the moving clockhand. Excellent otherwise. Brand meister  t   16:45, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Great video, already featured on Commons. Grey Hood   Talk  17:11, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm concerned about the caption's mention of "New Year". You'll notice there is no cheering from people in Red Square because most Russians celebrate the Old New Year on January 14. Perhaps modify caption to simply say, "The Kremlin Clock chiming at midnight"? —Eustress talk 19:31, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The full video from the link shows the traditional New Years address by the Russian President (in this case Dmitry Medvedev) at which the Kremlin clock strikes and the national anthem is sung. This is what is shown on Russian TV on New Years Eve. Russavia ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) 19:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, Russians celebrate New Year on the New Year, i.e. on the night from 31 December to 1 January. Then they continue to celebrate until the Orthodox Christmas on 7 January and beyond. By 13th January everyone is so tired of vodka and celebrating that only the craziest fans of partying, the slowpokes and drunkards seriously celebrate the Old New Year  Grey Hood   Talk  20:06, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * lol, interesting, and thanks for the comments. The question that then follows: If it is New Years, why is it silent other than the chimes? I ask because this is a possible EV concern for me. —Eustress talk 01:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
