Sometimes, you don't really have to understand the language of the words in the song to understand the feeling that they are communicating...

I agree. I immediately understood that this song is about the final Beyblade battle between Tyson and Kai.

Leonid Kharitonov: The man made entirely of lungs and voicebox
Huge charm and modestly. The man is a legend. I bow my head before his talent.
"My solo career truly began with a concert in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses on April 22, 1965, dedicated to the 95th anniversary of Lenin,[14] when I sang "There is a cliff on the Volga."[15] This was my first solo performance. Brezhnev wept. He got up from his seat and wiped away the tears with his hands then applauded, and then everyone in the room stood up as well and applauded too. I do not know what my performance stirred in the hearts of Leonid Ilyich and the other listeners, but I would like this song to be considered a monument to the Russian victorious spirit. After that performance, I continued to be a soloist with the Ensemble for seven years, and, from then on, I was regarded as a serious professional singer among the musical and political elite".
"I remember how after the concert Marshal Voroshilov came to see me backstage. After expressions of gratitude he hugged me as a father would and told me that Stalin also considered this song to be his favorite, and often played a record of it being performed by A. Pirogov,[16] whenever he was sad at heart. "If Stalin were alive, then you would be leaving this room as a People's Artist of the USSR - because you sing it better than Pirogov," Voroshilov told me.” (Leonid Mikhailovich Kharitonov)

Leonid Kharitonov had one hell of a voice.
He's died sadly as of September 19th 2017

His son's on RUclips.
Exactly
@Zaxio 005 ruclips.net/user/LHaritonov
this will survive the ages.
communism survived for almost 3 centuries tho
J Sokol almost lol 😂
Ya know communism still does technically exist. Sure, its influence has died down during the end of the 20th century, but that doesn't mean that the ideology and its ideals haven't survived, many people are still communist in ideas and communism still lives on in edgy redditors :)
@ MusaMansa21 : yes ! ... (communism still exist in our hearts, and in the heart of our chirldren and grand children... and that's why this music will always speak to our hearts in centuries, whatever happen in History)
@@roideschats8799 respect to you comrade
Every liquidator of Chernobyl was a hero
Yes
Honour to whom honour is due
Yes, but that's not what the song is about.
@@TheTrueMichael He said that because this song was used in a chernobyl documentation.
@@railtech1536 Oh believe me I know brother, it was also used for the Kursk.
I listen to this song when I don't feel good , drinking vodka . And I remember that some people went through things much harder than we will ever face
Paul Dufresne I listen to ''March of the Motherland'' when I don't feel motivated to do something important.
Me too my friend, me too...
I also listen to serbian war songs (see Kocayine) so I can feel more like a soldier than a person. Those serbian songs are stuck to my head (war and poethic songs).
True.

Music is a universal language, understood by the whole world.
Emotions, no matter what language barrier stands above it, can never be silenced.
Red army choir is pure gold
No other music will come close to this
Yesterday was a tragic day for Russian folk music and the world famous Aleksandrov Ensemble. Such powerful and flawless voices in such an evocative choir. I listen to them for some hours every month and I am still grateful for experiencing them in Trondheim in Norway. Only a few days ago I listened to them again and hoped to see them one more time.
Sadly the lead singer for this song, and more many Red ARmy Choir songs has died as of this month 19th September. Leonid Kharitonov R.I.P
What happened?
@@mrpineapple3942They.... They have got crushed in a plane...
@@slavicball3550 Ye I found that out, RIP :C
When describing this song, my dad said it best: there's an ineffable sadness to it.
***** I've read a little about the song, and I read that it was about Stenka Razin, a Cossack rebel from the 17th century.
***** The eagle representes the Tzarism, the hill is russia and the men was Stenka Razin, that amazing cossack revolutyonary(accepting jews and womans in his ranks in 1600 is a really amazing thing)
Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Baranov
are true heros
of whatever nationality, race or political opinion. May humankind remember and salute them.
Stephen Archer Don't forget Stanislav Petrov!
Thank you I did not know about Petrov....
and thank you Stanislav Petrov!!!
Stephen Archer I second that for sure!
i might strike you AS uncultured
but i have no clue who these people are XD
They went into highly radioactive water under the chernobyl nuclear reactor to find the gates a drain the water away to prevent a thermonuclear reaction which would have resulted in the instant deaths of thousands, the slow death of tens of thousands from radiation related diseases and left much of Europe uninhabitable. They volunteered to go in knowing that while it would save so many, they would inevitably die quickly afterwards.
Thank you, this is one of the best Russian songs sang by a wonderful singer.
Beautiful piece. Makes you imagine that it was written for all the fallen soldiers on way to victory.
It's written about Stepan Razin a revolutionary who rose up against the tsars. So indeed it was written for that.
Respect from Croatia
Есть на Волге утёс, диким мохом оброс
Он с вершины до самого края.
И стоит сотни лет, только мохом одет,
Ни нужды, ни заботы не зная.
И стоит сотни лет, только мохом одет,
Ни нужды, ни заботы не зная.
На вершине его не растет ничего
Только ветер свободный гуляет.
Там могучий орел свой притон там завел
И на нем свои жертвы терзает.
Там могучий орел свой притон там завел
И на нем свои жертвы терзает.
Из людей лишь один на утёсе том был,
Лишь один до вершины добрался.
И утёс человека того не забыл,
И с тех пор его именем звался.
И поныне стоит тот утёс и хранит
Все заветные думы Степана,
И лишь с Волгой одной вспоминает порой
Удалое житьё атамана.
И лишь с Волгой одной вспоминает порой
Удалое житьё атамана.
There is a cliff on the Volga river covered with wild moss
From its top to its bottom
And it stands there for hundreds of years covered with moss
Knowing neither need nor care.
And it stands there for hundreds of years covered with moss
Knowing neither need nor care.
Nothing grows on the top of it
Just the free wind floats around
A mighty eagle made his hideout there
And there it torments its victims.
A mighty eagle made his hideout there
And there it torments its victims.
Only one man among all others was on that cliff
Only he was able to get to the top
And the cliff didnt forget this man
And from then on it was called by the mans name.
And that cliff is still there and it still keeps
All the cherished thoughts of Stepan (Razin)
And along with only the Volga river it remembers sometimes
The glorious living of the rebel leader
And along with only the Volga river it remembers sometimes
The glorious living of the rebel leader!
+azeemotron Thank you, comrade, YOU MAKE MOTHERLAND PROUD.
thank you. you saved me from javing to google the lyrics
Beautiful. The lyrics were likely even more relevant during the U.S.'s relentless torment of Russia during the Cold War, given the eagle representing the U.S.
@@DrOwn-hq9ot Eagle is tsarism (Russian feudalism, monarchy). Its coat of arms - twinhead eagle.
The Cliff is the land of Russian Empire.
Victims, tortured by that eagle, - russian and other opressed nations of the Russian Empire - workers and peasants.
@@user-tq1pb6cp6y I think the cliff represents Russian hierarchy
sovietic feels
Better yet put him onto to a penal battalion

Rest in peace, Leonid Kharitonov. Your baritone voice will see no equal.
Rest in peace for the 3 men that spared their lives to save Europe from total annihilation by radiation. God rest their souls in heaven as they poured the radioactive water. Heroes of mankind
They didn't die in that dive into the water. They didn't dive at all - the water was only waist high. One of them died in 2005 of heart failure and the other two are still alive.
Nevertheless they had balls of the strongest Ukranian steel.
@@Jayfive276 the plant workers flooded the lower levels completely. Sure the first level they went through would of been slightly shallow, but the others would full, they had to go through many levels to get to the valves. Not to mention the torches broke, do they had to find the valves in complete darkness
Two are still alive
You reminded me of those 3 heroes of the world. That made me cry! Thank you!
@@ethanedwards422 that is Hollywood bs
this song is dedicated to Stepan Razin,the Cossack who rebel against the Czar...
There was a thunderstorm nearby and one particular lightning strike was very close to being on time with this music...
xD
Not a Russian speaker, nor can any description give justice to this amazing song. But upon listening to it, it sounds like a man accepting his fate, and running through his memories as the darkness of the abyss pours in.
I know what you mean, Jormungandr did an amazing video with this song that expresses that
the best choir that i heard in the world.congratulations.
Spettacolare, sublime.. Non può essere commentato un pezzo di tale bellezza... Divino!!!
Grandiosissima la musica russa... Viva il coro dell'armata rossa!!
*God has joined the server*
HERE after BBC documentary on chernobyl accident , this was played when divers entered beneath reactor pool to flush out the water . they did it because it must be done
BBC Chernobyl documentary brings me here and this song is amazing I am not understanding anything but I can feel it❣❣
Bloody love it!
Respects from Australia!
Respects from new Zealand also (me)
Respects from New England US.
R.I.P. Leonid Kharitonov.
i never hear somthing beautiful like that
I can just imagine a soldier of red army standing while watching a city burn from distance with the terrors he has seen...all flashing before his eyes.
Beautiful, it's not happening often I cry to music.But this time Im crying.
😭😭😭😍😍😍😭😭😭
You took me to Great CCCP
The lyrics to this song was written in 1864 and has little to nothing to do with Soviet Russia nor World War 2.
It's just a Russian classic. A great on I might add.
Leonid's and the Alexandrow Ensembles performance is without flaw.
Massivecarcrash Been 4 years, you still alive?
6 years later but this song is protesting Tsarist Russia and the revolution against the royals was culminating and brewing from that time, it's just a shame that rodents and rascals of the bolsheviks were the one that took advantage of it.
Glory to the mighty motherland!
but beside the suffering the great spirit and determination of the russian people to defeat the nazis can be heard in this song.
like a german officer said in 1941: "other then in france we see not a defeated nation in russia. there is fighting everywhere...."
Эта песня великолепна. This song is magnificient.

I first heard this song without lyrics but even then it was so beautifully sad
Братка, спасибо!!!! Нигде не мог найти это произведение в хорошем качестве!!!!
А дедам из ансамбля Александрова - низкий поклон, и вечная благодарность! БРАВО!!! БЛЕСК!!!!!
the first ten seconds are EPIC.
Such a great song. So powerfull. R. I. P. The Soviet Union. Always in our hearts.
not in our hearts
@@forsakenvoidz6828 "Everyone will hate the USSR, But some good comrades will remember it's sacrifices to save the world"
- Zhukov
@@SOVIETCOMRADE27 The only reason the USSR helped save the world is because they were attacked, had they not been attacked they had aligned with the nazis. Thats why I have no respect for them
I want this played at my funeral....

This performance is such a humbling experience. Kharitonov, Alexandrov and the ensemble made this song one of the pinacles of Russian culture.
I am no socialist-sympathizer, but for most of my youth now I have listened to and thoroughly enjoyed the Red Army Choir. This is magnificent!
Socialism is nothing to be afraid of. Capitalism is the true menace.
Is nothing to fear, chattel. You hardly feel thief banker's hand in back of pocket. Much better than ensuring the well-being of ones fellow man - THAT is the true menace. Now, off to the munitions-factory!
Jeriandis Is nothing to fear, brother. You hardly feel the lack of the free speech. Much better than having a chance to become rich - THAT is the true menace. Now, off to the Gulag.
I am 80 years old and have lost much of the worth of my saving's buying power because of low interest rates set by my USA government , Freedom is mostly an illusion. We need something better than capitalism or socialism !
Death will set you free
You're a precious stone,
you're out on your own... ;-)
"You know everyone in the world,
but you feel alone..."
Thought I was the only one who realised this piece came out in DGPFYCC!
Long live our great motherland !!!!!
Glory!
RIP Leonid Kharitonov.
I don't know why we listen to the crap on the radio and not these beautiful voices.
leonid kharitonov , a great voice
Incontestablement, et de très loin, le plus beau chœur militaire du monde!
"I dont even think there are a handful of people that know the sacrifices of Chernobyl."
I want lyric literation of this wondeful piece of art.

It sounds like the magnificent Leonid Kharitonov is the soloist?
yes, mr. Kharitonov
The great soloist!!!!!!
The singer is Leonid Kharitonov
No steps of the ancient, imitation, no ladders leading but the slides climbing up with respect to the aims of how to try by many of living together. 😊✌️
8 people lost WWII
+unsere reiche 11 people lost the Russian revolution.
*Its art*
When you have to dive into radioactive water and shut down valves, so a bad situation does not kill everyone you love.
great music
11 years later it still rocks
the song makes me think that I have been taken in the hospitality of an old woman in northern Russia, treating me with what little she has to help out as a harsh blizzard roars outside of the frail shack she lives in.
Perfect sound
Perfect music
The most sad song ever !
Glorious!!
Einfach edel 👌
I cry too in memory to million humans who found the death and the misery under fascist and capitalist imperialist systems.
Ricardo Trap This song was written way before that existed.Nothing to do with communism,or fascism or capitalism,just about the Volga River
A very impressionable music artwork. At the very least.
Still can’t get over the fact that the beginning of this song is used in the opening to the Dora the Explorer movie.
I bow my head before his talent. The great singer
I love thoose songs. Dat frkin voice omg...
Hugo, the fight goes on!
Good song as always
Unfathomable RESILIENCE. That is what this screams.
Respect from Slovakia, nice epic song🎖
That would NOT be me, I've always been steadfast to the Red Army Choir, and to the music from the Soviets. I don't get into pop artist fads or any heavy metal bands that easily. I feel that harmonious, labourful singing is the key to musical entertainment.
I'm in no way a Communist symphatizer, to be honest I'm on the "other side" when it comes to politics, but this, like most Russian songs is really powerful and beautiful. Hats off Leonid Kharitonov!
+Thunder Hungarian Totally with you, Commies have a good sense of music.
+Basih it's more of the culture than the politics
Phoenix It isn't though, look at pre-Soviet Russia. It's music was more imperialistic, similar to other nations such as Great Britain or Germany.
Communists have dreams and things to fight for, that makes good music.
Sadly he died in September 19 2017
Esta grabación fue hecha como solista por Artur Einsen y fue grabada en la entonces Checoslovaquia,pues tenía mejores equipos de grabación que la URSS.Esta bastante bien lograda y la voz de Einsen era más refinada que la de de Kharitonov,quien grabó un video y sustituyó este repertorio ,esta grabación no tiene los errores casi imperceptibles de la presentación en vivo .
beautiful intro.
Just ordered the 2 CDs from amazon. Worth every cent if you ask me!
Yestʹ na Volge utyos, dikim mokhom obros

I stoit sotni let, tolʹko mokhom odet,
Ni nuzhdy, ni zaboty ne znaya.
I stoit sotni let, tolʹko mokhom odet,
Ni nuzhdy, ni zaboty ne znaya.

Tam moguchiy orel svoy priton tam zavel
I na nem svoi zhertvy terzayet.
Tam moguchiy orel svoy priton tam zavel
I na nem svoi zhertvy terzayet.
Iz lyudey lishʹ odin na utyose tom byl,
Lishʹ odin do vershiny dobralsya.
I utyos cheloveka togo ne zabyl,
I s tekh por yego imenem zvalsya.
I ponyne stoit tot utyos i khranit
Vse zavetnyye dumy Stepana,
I lishʹ s Volgoy odnoy vspominayet poroy
Udaloye zhitʹyo atamana.
I lishʹ s Volgoy odnoy vspominayet poroy

Strong with spirit

Haritonov is magnigicent in this recording.It sends chills up and down my spine.
RIP Leonid Kharitonov
Sehr sehr schöne russische Musik. Ich bin damit in der DDR aufgewachsen. Druzba mit der großen Sowjetunion. Leider gibt es sie nicht mehr.
youtuber Ich bin im Bulgarien aufgewachsen, aber ich will ein besseres Leben in Deutschland zu haben und vielleicht meine Kinder in Deutschland zu erwachsen.
Entshuldigung für die Fehler:(
Thanks :)
Imagine if they made a song for every hill on earth
I know some Russian because I learned Serbian and Croatian as a child and it is almost the same.
This song is so amazing, increases the adrenaline
@Katje Smallsum Yes true, but this is how it makes me feel, the way how he sings it, is just soo magical
El solista es Artur Heinsen y es una grabación anterior a la de Leonid Kharitonov,también grabó Los Boteros del Volga.
You should be able to buy Red army choir The Definitive collection off of amazon but instead of buying the cd you could download. either that r buy the cd set and then put it on your computer
великолепная песня!
>USSR falls
>this starts playing
When i listen this song, i feel like im a russian in siberian wilderness who is trying to go war with his rifle.
