      The Russian idea is corroborated by the fact that the song starts with the Volga river.

Although, when they say "say goodbye to the life we knew before" I think of the Russians and Saxons who fled from Viking Raids and joined the Varangian guard in Byzantium.

    Hildegard is perhaps the only bardcore artists who actually picks songs that make the transition well and makes it actually sound like they were from that time period. Like I could see this being a song that exists to this day as one of the public domain songs. This is truly something. Other bardcore artists don't put in the effort like Hildegard does. Keep up the good work.
