Amazing song. One can feel the desperate situation of the 62th Army, Tshuikow and his men and the civilians in the city. The Battle of Stalingrad was the most dramatic battle in the history of Mankind.
Thank you for your commnent. Its not easy to listen to song with duration of 6 min. One must sit down and try to feel the music. We sometimes forget, that Red army choir is not just great marching songs, but also songs about passion and dedication. Not everyone is able to undestand and appreciate this fact. Thank you again.
It is a very touching song, reaching to the most profound depths of a human hearth and soul. Would you be as so kind as to post the lirics? Thank you very much, with respect to you, our Slavic brothers, from Slovenija.
Hey I know its been like 11 years since you asked this question, but here are the english lyrics:
There is a cliff on the Volga, well known, with wild moss it's overgrown
From the very edge up to the peak.
And it stands hundreds of years, only green moss it wears,
Neither care it knows, nor need.
And it stands hundreds of years, only green moss it wears,
Neither care it knows, nor need.
On the top of the cliff, there is nothing can live
Only free wind upon it is blowing.
Mighty eagle it's nest set up on the crest
And there it's victims it's mauling.
Mighty eagle it's nest set up on the crest
And there it's victims it's mauling.
Only one man is known, was on that cliff alone,
Just one reached the top, not in vain.
And the cliff has never forgotten that man,
And since then it carried his name.
And to this day stand a cliff and it keeps
All cherished thoughts of Stepan,
And with Volga alone it remembers sometime
Swashbuckling life of ataman
And with Volga alone it remembers sometime
Swashbuckling life of ataman
The soloist is Leonid Kharitonov.
Let us please, for the love of humanity, set aside our differences and understand that we must co-exist for fear of destruction. If not we are domed to make the same mistakes of the people before us.
+IEnjoyMemes While Capitalism remain enslaving us this can not be done.
Not until we have a strong fascist leader.
You speak of fear from destruction. But who were the ones who paraded around Berlin raping innocent women, who were the ones cutting the arms from inoculated children in Vietnam, who were the ones bombing civilians in Afghanistan who didn’t see the Soviet way. Communism is the root of evil, Liberty and justice for all not just for the government🇺🇸
This is a great and passionately sung song. It is so good to read all the other appreciative comments from others here. I listen to The Red Army Choir often and love so many of their heartfelt songs.
Beautiful, greetings from the US.
thats a great emotional song. all the suffering but also the determination of the red army can be heard here.
definitly the most powerfull song i ever heard...
(sorry if my English is bad)
I love this song. Thank you!!!
Ich liebe, wie kraftvoll und voller Emotionen diese Melodie ist.
Your English is great and indeed, Russian (and Ukranian) music I find just has such feeling in it, it's quite rare for me at least to find stuff so powerful anywhere else, long live such music and countries.
The best video of ever bravo camrade bravo, URRAH!!!!!!!
Bravo Bravo from Wales.
im so sorry for what im gonna say but i was playing RDO and my character i said shes from alaska from russian (she does have the aspect) and was looking for some russian music while now its snowing.. I found this.. kept me thinking... how was de sentiment in those years + the sad video u show to us.., just gonna say im glad im living in this era
dari awal pembukaan saja sudah kerasa dalam... lalu begitu Kharitonov muncul... air mata terharu pun muncul juga...
semoga padus Tentara Merah tetap ada :')
Haha same here, only im 3 years further in the proces.
i love it when they make long songs, they tend to be more powerfull as it has a long build up.
wow this brings memories with a game that i played during winter a few years back, the title screen had that song :)
Which game did you play?
What was the title of that game?
Thank you, my mistake. I will correct it.
Slight nitpick: The Battle of Stalingrad was only roughly 270 years after Razin's rebellion, not 400.
VLADISLAV IS MY NAME, VLAD IS SLAV
Soo .. Sad :'(
@Yankpats yes my friend
Imagine hearing this when you’re trapped at the bottom of the ocean in the Kiev submarine…so close to rescue yet so far.
Auch vielen Dank für das Live-Video-Aufnahmen von dem sowjetischen Vaterländischen Krieg! Mit anderen Videos von diesem Song, kann es ziemlich langweilig starrte auf ein statisches Bild, dass für lange Zeit.
Thank you so much...my favorite song ever...класс!
что это за фильм ?
well i trust history channels documentaries have been checked for historical backgrounds.
What movie is this
@Kalinin1917 I think that object justifies the tools. Well at least the Slavs should understand that. In Slavic countries it is almost imppossible to achieve anything without a drop od blood.
God bless Russia!
Damn, then I dont know how this respond system works...It showed me that your comment was reaction to mine...In that case, accept my appology.
What film are the images from?
Stalingrad battle (1949) by V. Petrov.
Thank you so much.

@Zika1742 Agreed, thats what I think. Slavs in general are band of lazy people, they can achieve a great things, but only under firm leadership.
Commrade Stalin!
@Southern661 Not really, WWII cost the USSR 25 to 30 million lives. Stalin's rule saw the deaths of about 20 million people.
No other country has such enormous amounts of blood on its hands as the United States of America.
You are simply missing the point, in that film Stalin listened to this very song as his fellow soldiers in Stalingrad did. Plus putitng this nonsence about killing quotas is much greater bad taste. Your claim has no trustworthy historical background.
So you wanna tell me, that Stalin just one morning got up and said to hiself, "Its time to kill some Ukrainians - lets say 6 million? Well, why not?" Dont get me wrong, Im not dennying that there were victims of stalininst regime, but I refuse to believe those exact numbers and Im little suspicious about reasons, why would Stalin ordered that thing.
