WNU Editor: That is something that you do not see everyday. I am guilty of the same thing .... if I see a piano and there is no one around and I have nothing to do .... I will also play a few chords. It is a great way to release the stress.

Which tune/songs did he play? They mentioned that it was an Soviet song about Moscow and St Petersburg, but not the actual names of the songs.
No idea Rhaegar. It is a tune that I am not familiar with.
Cool I finally found their names, Московские окна (Windows in Moscow) and Город над вольной Невой (The City over the free Neva river/flood if I understood it right)

Very beautifull music with much feelings and depth though I don't understand the language.
Apparently he learned to play the piano when he was young. And he still remembers those tunes.
I learned to play the piano and accordion when I was young. I can still remember about half a dozen tunes, and I have done what Putin did when he saw an empty piano. You just sit down and play without a concern in the world on how it may sound.
