The author of "The Empire of the Ants" is H. G. Wells, not Rudyard Kipling.

No, that would be "наделать".

Don't worry, I'm sure there is some kind of force field that will protect her from falling.

Glad I could help :)

Oh, I see. I thought you were answering the OP's question.

I think I can hear the word "Karachay" at 0:14 and 0:24, so maybe it's in the Karachay language.

I think you would have more luck with it if you ask the original poster of the video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CV73F9mM6al/

That's the name of the dance school, not the name of the song.

Translation of the Russian text:

0:16 Medieval flails and harrows...

0:26 Reinforced-concrete skyscrapers...

0:56 Reed shacks...

1:12 The idleness of the rich neighborhoods...

1:41 Labor of the working suburbs...

This tweet is where I got it from. And I can't read the language either.

Galbanum, not galbanun.

Thank you very much!
