Why do they put heroic music over the videos?

That's not the music you use when you're showing a bunch of corpses who were burned alive.

you would have to ask the Touareg militia, but it seems to be Soviet song "Священная война" (Sacred War) basically a second Soviet anthem during WW2. maybe they wanted to put there an Ukrainian war song of some sort as Ukrainians aided them, and there's a photo of some of these militia members and foreign operatives (blurred, but white) with Ukrainian flag. oopsie
