    TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
    Cossack regiments rode the steppe from the Don,
    Only one Cossack bowed his head.
    Oh, the dashing Cossack missed his home
    He dropped the reins on the horse’s mane.
    Oh, his curls fluttered in the wind.
    He was tormented by thoughts about his home.
    Ah, he looked into the blue steppe distance,
    But nothing was visible in that distance.
    The Cossack shook his forelock head
    He told his comrades longingly:
    "Oh, my young heart hurts,
    Oh, my brothers, I want to go home so much!"
    Let the road move fast
    Let it dispel the cossack's thoughts and longing.
    Oh, he reared a dashing horse
    And his sharp saber whistled on a gallop.
    And the regiments rode across the steppe
    With a loud glory and sang like nightingales.
    Our dear native countryside,
    Accept a bow from the Red Horsemen!

    ORIGINAL LYRICS:
    "Казачья песня"
    Шли по степи полки казачьи с Дону,
    Один казак лишь голову склонил.
    Ой, заскучал один казак по дому
    Коню на гриву повод уронил.
    Эх, разлетались кудри врассыпную.
    О доме думка мучила его.
    Эх,в даль глядел он синюю степную,
    А в той дали не видно ничего.
    Тряхнул казак чубатой головою
    Сказал своим товарищам с тоской:
    "Эх, изболелось сердце молодое,
    Ой, как мне братцы, хочется домой"
    Лети скорей дороженька-дорога,
    Развей казачью думу и тоску.
    Эх, на дыбы поднял коня лихого
    И свистнул саблей острой на скаку.
    А по степи полки со славой громкой
    Все шли и шли спевая соловьем.
    Ковыльная, родимая сторонка,
    Прими от красных конников поклон.

      @@AkioWasRight any source on that, pal? Because my whole family came from USSR and that’s not true at all. Most people in labor camps were criminals who deserved it and were serving their sentence, not political prisoners. Even during Stalin’s time most inmates were convicted murderers, thieves, rapists, etc.
      We were enthusiastic because back then we had a bright future to look forward to. But thanks to Gorbachev it’s gone now.

    For those wondering what the song means:
    The song is about a young Cossack who was walking to battle when suddenly he wants to return home. You can hear this by the soft voices of the choir, which are then juxtaposed by the stern, encouraging voices of his peers telling him to go on to battle. Examples 0:46 is the young Cossack saying how he wants to return home, and 0:58 is his peers telling him to go faster to battle.

      The Red Army chorus choir sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear them. I think they capture our spirit and soul and uplift our confidence in our homelands and our commitment to freedom and honour for all Slavs wherever we find ourselves. To my father I swear allegiance to uphold my faith in our home land and the liberation from slavery. Das Vadanya comrades wish you all success and happiness in a new day of light and reflection. May the Red Army continue the cause for our sacrifice of so many honourable people our grandparents and future generations we carry the eternal flame from the fireside as we share our bread and wine and honour those lost. Russia is a great nation but we need to remain united for our enemies are wealthy and powerful. Our commitment is our bond and honour in love and conflict.

Russia, we want to hear more from you. Your politics may not be the greatest example but you do have so many great scientists, writers, poets, top-sporters, commanders, students and grand mothers :) You should be an example to the world, your history and culture are such a rollercoaster. Greatings from the Netherlands, small stuborn country but lot of us do have passion for that big Russia :)

    Living in a country where things like this are still almost the exclusive territory of the rich, it is both great and a little sad to see the sons of workers making music like this.

    I have a question that may seem strange - did Leonid Kharitonov personally know the composer Ivan Dzerzhinsky? I'm doing some research on his life and music, and thought this might be a good place to ask.

      No, I don't think so. Leonid Mikhailovich never mentioned this composer.
