Actually, it's commonly known as ''Kazatsky'', or the Cossack Dance, and it is part of the Ukrainian ''Hopak'' stage dance. To be exact, the squat-and-kick move is called ''Preesyadkee'' (knee-bending) and is just one part of the dance, but [[PopculturalOsmosis it's the only part known to most non-Russians]]. It's one of the more difficult parts of the dance, requiring good balance and foot strength or else you'll just fall on your ass, but of course MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong.
