historical background: We are going forward is a Ukrainian riflemen's and insurgent song. The author of the song is Lev Lepkyi, the brother of the writer Bohdan Lepkyi.
The song "We Are Going Forward" was known throughout the 20th century, but gained its greatest popularity after it was recorded by Taras Chubai and Andriy Kuzmenko as part of the Our Partisans project, and since then it has been widely used to celebrate the Ukrainian liberation struggle of the 1917-1920s and the insurgency of the 1940s and 1950s.
The author of the song "We Are Going Forward" (lyrics and music) is Lev Lepkyi, brother of the writer Bohdan Lepkyi. He composed the song while serving in the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen Legion. In addition to direct participation in battles, he also worked in the propaganda department of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, creating propaganda to spread information about the activities of the Sich Riflemen. It was at this time that the song "We Are Going Forward" was written as a song celebrating the deeds and spirit of the Sich Riflemen.
Between the wars, Lepkyi was engaged in publishing in Poland. After the outbreak of World War II, he moved to Krakow and then to the United States. Paradoxically, the song of the "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalist" Lev Lepkyi, entitled "Oh, I can see the village," was quite popular on Ukrainian radio in the late Soviet Union. Only, of course, the references to the Sich Riflemen were removed, and lines about the "red army" were inserted instead.
