Very cool find and a gorgeously beautiful display. If I'd have been in the area and realised how cool it would look I'd have taken a folding stool, something to smoke and a couple of six-packs too.
I know less than nothing about rockets. At first you see a regular smoke/contrail then it morphs into a huge envelope or bubble. Is that an altitude/speed related thing? Thanks for posting.

White nights it is, I stand gratefully corrected, thank you!
I'm still trying to figure out the SOURCE of the live mission coverage narration in the background, he's hearing it over the radio. I have never encountered such public broadcast of such launch details with Russian military launches. Did the narrator give ANY description of the source of that broadcast in his own comments? I couldn't detect it, my Russian is not bad, but far from perfect.
