Some explanation of the additional clips within the video—
     Beginning at
0:42 -- armed conflict scenes,
                    could be in Ukraine, Armenia/Azerbaijan, or Belarus
0:49 -- Belorussian journalists taken from TV channel "Belcat"
            Katarina Andreeva  &  Darya Chultsova
0:55 -- live from Minsk, Belarus  (There were a bunch of harsh reprisals against peaceful demonstrators which shocked the free Slavic world.)
0:58 -- "Beginning to open fire" (Russian words on screen)
1:02 -- US protests, etc.
1:20 -- more armed conflict, I don't know where
1:28 -- could be the protests in Minsk(?) or perhaps in Hong Kong
1:35 -- The Russian words say "Kingdom of Heaven"
            — a euphemism for the person died.
1:47 on --  I don't know what this was.

I would love to know more if anyone has additional information.


SOCART's introduction to the music video:

В это непростое время, мы все испытываем определённую неуверенность в завтрашнем дне. Эпидемии, восстания, протесты, войны, конфликты, карантин, ограничения, экономический кризис... С этим списком мы идём к Господу! Он царь! В Его руке сила и Власть.

At this difficult time, we all feel a certain uncertainty about the future. Epidemics, uprisings, protests, wars, conflicts, quarantine, restrictions, economic crisis... With this list, we go to the Lord! He is the king! In His hand is strength and Power.

-------- English to Fit the Meter --------

O Lord God, give to the nations
holy peace and quietness;
Put a curb to agitations
and this deep unrest.

O Lord God, place now upon us
happiness and blessed peace;
You are Good, abolish distrust,
hate, and enmity.

Help now all with hearts that labor
to seek You and peace renew;
Teach us all to love our neighbor,
trust and pray to You.
