On March 27th, 2023, user digitized_music commented on the video saying:
"The arrangement uses a Yamaha RX5 drum machine, so I think the song was recorded around 1988-1992. You can also hear a Yamaha DX7, which also falls into that period. Maybe that will narrow down the time frame and possible artists a bit."

""Hey, Cossack" (Гей, козаче) - Unknown Ukrainian song.The first mention of the song on the Internet belongs to the user 0671614209 on the forum of the Ukrainian torrent tracker toloka.to, where he wrote about it on December 21, 2019.Since then, on March 3, 2022, its full recording was posted on YouTube by the user Retro Style. No information was provided about the track's origin.Yamaha RX11 drum machine is used in the arrangement, so, I think, the recording of the song was approximately in 1988-1992. Maybe there is also a Yamaha DX7, which also falls under that period.My assumption about the date of creation is 1990 - then they celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Zaporizka Army. Perhaps, it was created for it."
On March 16th, 2025, the OP responded to another comment, they said "Bobina" was found in a dumpster in 2007, and it included this song.
