Actually its an old folk song that was sang by very poor Burlaks that pulled ships up the Volga river. In fact, _Burlak_ originated from the word _Bujdak_, which means Homeless. Most Burlaks were landless peasants. Its pretty crazy to look back in history like this. These people were so incredibly poor it was cheaper to pay a bunch of them to do the work of a few horses/mules. Basically, these people were economically and on a per hour basis speaking, their time was worth much less than a fucking _donkey's_ time.
I've been to Moscow twice and I do like it so very much. I'm planning on returning in 2022 to take the Trans Siberian RR from Moscow to Vladivostok and see Mother Russia!
Looking at this comment section, it's pretty sad that you can't seen to go on any Russian associated video on UA-cam these days without "WAAH WAH COMMUNISM THIS POLITICS THAT" drama happening. Seriously people, just shut up and enjoy the music.
Tonight I started playing tug of war with a blanket with my 4 year old grand-daughter. As I pulled, I hummed from memory the tune of the Volga Boat Song. Though I only heard it in Russian, over 60 years ago, I knew just from the melody that this was a song sung by men as they pulled boats and barges along the river. What a powerful image captured in song.
Here's a fun fact: This music "The Song of the Volga Boatman", is featured in the NES videogame "Pipe Dream" (a Tetris-like game, only the object is to lay enough pipe on a square grid for an oil path to flow). FTWDNK: The player gets 3 wrenches that act as arcade game credits. When you run out, it's game over. If you make a mistake, like placing the wrong pipe in front of the flow path, and you haven't gotten very far from the START point, the game abruptly disintegrates all of your work on the grid, leaving only the stub. There's silence, a wrench disappears, then "The Song of the Volga Boatman" is played (in crude, 8-bit style). Music is fascinating. A kid could hear this with zero knowledge of the piece's origin and know that the piece is ominous. In the context of "Pipe Dream", it's chastising the player for screwing up.
Took up learning Russian, it was great! Opened up new music and cultures. I still love my American lifestyle, but Russia seems pretty cool. All I need now is to get a Russian keyboard so I don't have to constantly switch and mix up the English letter spelling and the original Russian letters XD
Ольга Казанцева Это потому, что у них коленки начинают дрожать, и эта широта и мощь ассоциируются у них с угрозой, символом которой для них стал "коммунизм".)))
+richard bell Communism will never die either. As long as the working class is subjugated, there will always be at least a few good comrades trying to bring it back.
British Commodore I vehemently disagree with the idea that North Korea is communist. Not really sure what to make of the first statement, because I would agree that socialism =/= communism, but I think the way you could argue that differs depending on whether you approach it from a Marxist or neoliberal perspective. What do you mean when you say that?
Man, I've been trying to find the name to the instrumentals I've heard for dang near 12 years now. Never thought it was a Soviet Anthem. Now I can finally stop searching and enjoy the music.
It took me a while to learn that Russian folk songs often fill out stanzas with random syllables. When it sounds like it's saying "ay da da ay da," it really IS saying "ay da da ay da." That's just how they do it.
aaah that warm Russian voice I can imagine sitting inside this Home, outside -30 degrees, Freezing, hearing this guy sing with a bottle of vodka, and an open fireplace
Hell, if you don't imagine a factory with people working their asses off like slaves, or a bunch of guys pulling from a rope, hoisting sails, you had NO childhood.
Mrspiky47 hehe correct :) that is the song. Hehe thanks ^^ it's pictures of my dad and his friends in the red army :) Damn I wish I could have lived in that era .
Wow I loved it CloudStrife! The pictures are quite something... and that's Polyushka Pole (Oh my field, my fiel) sung by the rrac if i'm correct? I really this version, think i'm gona save it :D
@jimmyxx3 i think its about the mass waves of soldiers who crossed the volga under heavy fire to hold the tiny strip of beach head that the soviets still held in Stalingrad.

Brian the Brain THANK YOU. tired of this song getting so much hate
I could listen to this song 100 milion times and it would never lose its power.
Makes me want to go beat the shit out of some Nazis XD
WE MUST PUSH TINY CART!
It cost 400,000 dollars to listen to this song...for 12 seconds.
How do I change my seconds into dollars?
I want my 7.6 million dollars now.

Dan apa kelanjutannya? Pada tahun ini
I don’t think you should go anymore
@@tokhlismiah2671 I planned for 2020, COVID arrived. I was planning to go this past May, the war ended my plans. Maybe sometime in the future.
Hope you are going to visit us comrade
@@ultraflopp2802 I do so very much. It was COVID in 2020 which put the kibosh on my trip and now, the war. I yearn, to return to Mother Russia!

Starkami Theater I'm glad to see someone that finally understands
*our comment section
Tired of these political debates. I'm American yet I like this song. Time to break these damn barriers.
Amen! Preach it brother!
Nothing spoils culture faster than mixing it with politics!
Back when men were still men.
lol yeah because having half the population die from cholera or smallpox is so much better than political correctness
Patrick: ''Push!!''
(Bikini Bottomites push Bikini Bottom)
omfg the choir came in right when I read this 😂😂
@@UncrownedGlobe3 bruh same xD
People, people, it doesn't matter what country you're from, what nationality you have. When we listen to this song, we can all be considered comrades.

Quelle voix, toujours un plaisir d'écouter
I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
bro are you still alive?
Thumbs up if you opened a bottle of vodka and you heard this theme in your mind while you were in an acid trip.
.
To me, that's just a Tuesday morning.
Soulassassin0g you made my day thank )))
when the choir is starting singing.... damn
SONG WAS WRITTEN IN XIX CENTRY
Caps lock much?
Elliott Grimes that everybody understand its not a communists song. This song was written by the russian people
Kirill killir The whole point of communism is that it is by the people...
Also, how do you know that the composer did not agree with communist ideals?
Christonian Coder It was by a german, who used to be a cameraman of hitler's, and it was filmed near Moscow, specifically Kharkiv
TheRussianCommrade Huh. Good to know.
This is music, and a great song. Just keep it as it is, would you...? Enjoy the incredible power that emanate from the music and this great choir.
2:58 Is anyone else hearing "Charlie come home? "
Yes....... from 2021, how are you?
This is just my favorite song...
when im digging holes at work this song is in my head lol
"I'm a bad troll. A very bad troll."
Now i can't stop hearing that every time he talks. thanks

Ольга Казанцева It really stirs the heat, the balls.
Nearly feel the pain, of the Russian people,, 1800 to 2000.
Beautifull,
Thank You, Russia.
+Ольга Казанцева Я согласен
+Ольга Казанцева я точно знаю
+nick kopschaninow Я тоже
Powerful sound to it
One of these days, I really want to sing this solo with a choir. 8D
I've got no idea what they're singing but it sounds pretty awesome
Hi, I'm just here to say I like the song. Go on back to your flame wars now.
Communism may dead but with singing like that the Russian spirit will never die
+richard bell Communism will never die either. As long as the working class is subjugated, there will always be at least a few good comrades trying to bring it back.
Uh, China still exists you know?
British Commodore I wouldn't really call China a communist country though, so...
+Anchorheads Most Communisms are Marxist Socialisms in disguise I agree. Perhaps... North Korea?

Not really sure what to make of the first statement, because I would agree that socialism =/= communism, but I think the way you could argue that differs depending on whether you approach it from a Marxist or neoliberal perspective.

Fantastic musical performance!
im listening to this during a rainstorm perfect atmospher
Soda Popinski
Splendid...Bravos !
Ahh, this is such a powerful song, I love it!
Very good video.
Man, I've been trying to find the name to the instrumentals I've heard for dang near 12 years now. Never thought it was a Soviet Anthem. Now I can finally stop searching and enjoy the music.
I believe I learned of this song and how to sing it in the fourth grade. That would be 1959. In retrospect I find that intersting.
Indeed, What a voice
such a good song to listen too
everytime i hear this song i feel like ''THEY ARE COMING!''
i cry everytime i hear this because its so beautifull...(sorry if my english is bad)
An amazing piece of music
Wow, just wow..too cool.
Finaly, a song that makes you look epic even when you're just fishing.
Lovely
1000th comment!
It’s been a while since I watched this channel
this video changed my life
They are not fishing, they are pulling the boat, walking ashore
wow impressiv!
It took me a while to learn that Russian folk songs often fill out stanzas with random syllables. When it sounds like it's saying "ay da da ay da," it really IS saying "ay da da ay da." That's just how they do it.
wow great song!
aaah that warm Russian voice

And by the way this is a very nice soung. :D
Yes I igree with that Philosofy !!!
Then clearly I need a diet change if I want to ascend to their skill level!
@MjolnerBane one of his most famous quotes was, ahem "Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem."
what a beautiful song
There something awe inspiring of an all male choir and rousing folk music.
Nothing is impossible my freind :)
If we all fight together, everything is possible.
Fedor's new entrance song!! amazing!!
Hell, if you don't imagine a factory with people working their asses off like slaves, or a bunch of guys pulling from a rope, hoisting sails, you had NO childhood.
MUCH earlier than you think my friend) This song was officially published in 1865 :P
Great song
"ROTOTOTOTOOO! ROTOTO COME SING WITH ME!"
Did you know that remix of this song is actually very popular "hard work song" in cartoons?
Some Russians have very nice deep singing voice. The song is found on the wikipedia in original and English translation.
The Red Army Choir is, in my opinion the finest group of singers ever assembled.
YES!
Mrspiky47 hehe correct :) that is the song. Hehe thanks ^^ it's pictures of my dad and his friends in the red army :)
Damn I wish I could have lived in that era .
very monumental...:D
Very emotional, in a manly way.
fucking awesome ...
2:55 HEYYYYYY JOHNNY COME HOME
I also have the "Russian Red Army Choir" singing "Prince Igor" loaded on my computer. If you don't have it, get it, its worth it.
They put a segment of this song, along with Polyushka Poly at the beginning of some battles in World of Tanks.
no i think like you, the song is just unbelievable, the rest is history.
i feel the same way wish people just enjoy music rather than argue who is right
For the greater good...for the people!
Powerful.
It's not that they don't care, it's that they have to do what is necessary. It's rather hard to have a country with billions.
this is the sample for Canibus' Second Round KO song.... sweet
This beautiful song is why I exclusively play the Heavy in Team Fortress 2.
Classic :D
cool this song you here in movie Stalingrad!
God Bless you
Thanks to share this awsome classic, be proud to be Russians, long live RUSSIA
I really respect you so much.
Alright...WHO TOUCHED MY BOAT?!
This is Ivan Rebroff singing alongside the red army choir! He was one of the greatest voices of the 20th century!
reminds me of the Song from Hunt for Red October.
Good song
Esa grabación es con Arthur Einsen como solista y fue grabada en Londres por Discos Ángel.
We miss you!
Reminds me of the good old days ,,,, when we worked in factory #17 day and night,,,, making military vehicles,,, that didn't work.
Wow I loved it CloudStrife! The pictures are quite something... and that's Polyushka Pole (Oh my field, my fiel) sung by the rrac if i'm correct? I really this version, think i'm gona save it :D
thats true... they were unskilled at the beginning of the war.. but there were Guards divisions who were battlehard veterans ,,
So I'm Dutch and I got here thanks to one of my teachers who is half russian and forced us to sing this song and I like it :')
native americans, phillipines, cubans......
Dude
the list goes on
and on
and on
@jimmyxx3 i think its about the mass waves of soldiers who crossed the volga under heavy fire to hold the tiny strip of beach head that the soviets still held in Stalingrad.
2:20 best part
