17 Tchaikovsky – Slavic March.....The Marche Slav (French pronunciation: [maʁʃ(ə) slav]) in B-flat minor, Op. 31, is an orchestral tone poem by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky published in 1876. It was written to celebrate Russia’s intervention in the Serbian-Ottoman War.
It certainly sounds Russian or Slavic. Tchaikovsky wrote some truly beautiful music.
This comment on the video cracked me up: I had to explain to my mother a simple truth. If you aren't listening to Tchaikovsky with the volume all the way up then you aren't listening to it right. Whether or not she heard me over the music, I do not know.
My BFF and I used to clean house while playing Tchaikovsky, and yes the volume was turned all the way up. We're both partial to the '1812 Overture', which the piece you posted seems to have evolved into.
Felix Mendelsohn did the same thing with the Reformation Symphony, using variations on A Mighty Fortress Is Our God". (Which, BTW, Was originally an old drinking song.)

...if it is too loud...
...you are too old...
...howls...
...that is an interesting point about the evolution of this piece, I understand how you came to that conclusion...
...that was a common "technique" among classical composers to recycle themes...
...I suppose one could say it was a predecessor to "sampling"...
...doggy winks....

...God makes all things new....

I did not know that; however there is another Tchaikovsky piece that resembles one of the numbers in 'The Nutcracker Suite'.
...Beethoven was the master of recycling...
