- "On the hills of Manchuria" (Russian: На сопках Маньчжурии, Na sopkah Manchzhurii) is a haunting waltz composed in 1906 by Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov, a military musician who served in the Russo-Japanese War, while the lyrics are the work of the poet Stepan Petrov, better known by the pen-name of Skitalets.
It refers to the Battle of Mukden, the final land battle of the Russo-Japanese War where the Russian army was decisively routed by the Japanese. The original lyrics are about fallen soldiers lying in their graves in Manchuria, but alternative lyrics were written later, especially during Second World War.

40 years later they got their revenge
Revenge? Communists are glad that Russian Empire lost in that war. Plus, fun fact about Polish-Japanese friendship. It traces back to how Polish Socialist uprising in 1905(the one that gave us Warszawianka as a reminder) against Russian Empire.
The revenge they got was for Harbin, 1920s. So, they got revenge a bit more than 20 years.
Wouldn't call it revenge when Japanese resistance was nonexistent, especially when they invaded the lands at the very last few months of the war.
@@justamoravian1042no brother. The same fury that descended on Germany, descended on the Japanese garrison on Manchuria, around 600k Japanese plus 200k Manchurians. They were annihalated. That was for Mukden 1905.

Тёмная Ночь? Imperial Version?
Нет, эта песня называется "На сопках маньчжурии", она о русско-японской войне и не имеет ни какого отношения к песне "Тёмная ночь".

Где ты тут темную ночь услышал?
Тёмная Ночь was written in 1943 by Mark Bernes, so there is chance nil that an Imperial version exists, essentially
