My jaw is tentatively on the floor? (Melkor)

If I understand correctly (based upon the really inadequate in-browser translations and my limited grasp of the orthography), a Russian entity at some point in the recent past--or possibly present--made a musical of the Russian fanfic The Black Book of Arda?
Just linking to my tumblr thing for simplicity's sake.

I have been cursing loudly in my intrigued befuddlement for the past hour or so.

I must have missed that during my tumblr hiatus (is that why it's so far mainly crickets in response to my asking about it? Old news? /rhetorical). I can probably find the clips myself; I did find the one on youtube and the sidebar was showing several others, but at that point I thought my brain would implode if I kept watching.

Unless these are actually clips with an English explanation, in which case I'd be really curious about them if/when you have the time. I couldn't find anything about it on tumblr myself. I have a certain preoccupation with some of the themes in the Black Book of Arda, from the little I know about it, so this kind of hits close to home for me. True it doesn't look...entirely professional (I'd say one of this production's issues is actually a lack of wigs...it's one thing or another, eh?)...but I"m still extremely curious.
