A Greek bouzouki player from Larissa went viral when he started playing his instrument in a snowy Russian forest… “accompanied” by a large brown bear.

Dimitris Katsiouras is a musician and has been living and working in a Greek restaurant in Moscow since 2019.

He uploaded a video on his personal Facebook account which managed to make the rounds on the internet.

In the video, he is in a snowy landscape playing the iconic syrtaki tune with his bouzouki while a big bear is sitting next to him licking his hand and at the same time enjoying the treats.

“Don’t play with the Russian bear… I play… Sirtaki. From Russia with love “, says Dimitris Katsiouras in his post.

“He won’t let me play a game, though…” he says in the video as the brown bear licks his hand.
