Белые розы has received many cover versions. Here is an ukrainian one.
The song is regurarly performed on TV shows by some dubious girl bands.
 
Even the russian crooner Mikhail Shufutinsky who emigrated 1981 in the USA covered the song.
 
 And last but not least, the song was performed on the ukrainian version of the X-Factor television show by an indian student.
