Katyusha with Valentina Batishcheva

A Russian TV program where they honor Valentina Batishcheva (the lady in black) for her past musical career and her famous Katyusha performance.
Sorry for the audio out of sync issue, cannot fix after uploading to RUclips sadly...
Katyusha, Katusha or Katjusha (Russian: Катюша) is a Russian Soviet wartime song about a girl longing for her beloved, who is away on military service. The music was composed in 1938 by Matvei Blanter and the lyrics were written by Mikhail Isakovsky. It was first performed by Valentina Batishcheva in the Column Hall of the House of the Unions. Later it was performed by Lidiya Ruslanova and other singers. It is part of the repertoire of the Alexandrov Ensemble.
Katyusha is a tender diminutive from the female name Ekaterina (Catherine): Katya is the nickname and Katyusha, a tender diminutive.
The Russian song also gave name to the BM-8, BM-13, and BM-31 "Katyusha" rocket launchers that were built and fielded by the Red Army in World War II.

And also the singer of the song in this video is T. Syniavska. Maybe there is no song saved with Valentina Batishcheva to hear. But she sang it first in Column Hall of Moscow's House of the Unions.
