'Let's Go!' - Soviet Military March

Let's Go is a song written in 1954 by Soviet composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Mikhail Dudin. It was originally written for the film Maxim Perepelitsa starring Leonid Bykov. The movie itself was released in 1955, and the song has achieved fame and popularity independently of it ever since. To this day it is still used as a so-called drill song (somewhat similar to a cadence call in the US Army). In 1959, Vasili Solovyov-Sedoy received the Lenin Prize for this song.

But did you guys see that sick ass slide in the beginning by those 2 soldiers?

[Talulah_Enjoyer]

I am Russian and this is the song that I like most about the concerts of the ensemble alexandrov.

[TheMerchantGuild]

American: Let's Go! *Turns into a convertible*

Soviet: Let's Go! *Turns into a Katyusha*

0:01 cool ass slide from that Soviet soldier absolutely no fucks given even in a war zone

[squid_beak_splatoon]

"We still have a long way to go. Cheer up soldier, raise your head" that gave me chills

I think this is a good representation of the soviet union, a quiet rural beginning where upon more and more patriotic voices join the march. Then the music grows to match the vocals (a good metaphor for the rapid industrialization of the soviet union). The marching will proceed to get louder and louder until you realize your speakers were on mute the entire time, and there are soviets at your newly east german doorstep.

Nobody:
Some soviet soldiers: S L I D E

[luxle_aviation]

"Sing quietly, the commander is asleep!"
*commander wakes up and joins in*
"SING LOUDER!!"

[Smeasshle]

The thing about this song is that it can apply to all nations. There is not even a single mention about a specific nation, it’s perfect.

1:14 My guy just bent over and let the other guys jump off him to get over barbed wire.

If this magnificent march had been composed before WWII the Soviet troops would have already been in Berlin in 1943.

May the Red Army Choir rest in peace. So much talent lost in such little time..

[dolce_st]

What am i focusing on this video:
- Background 10 %
- Music 20 %
- Lyrics 70 %

[Bigglesworthicus]

red army songs are the best to do mundane household chores to, makes you feel like you're accomplishing mighty deeds for the motherland

[LeonardKat]

2:16 The camera shakes because of the explosion and the choir comes in right as it happens. Got the Soviet Adrenaline pumping now.

[williamsmeds]

I might not really be a fan of the country or the ideology but holy shit their music was powerful.

[gustavoaguiar]

After playing this, my stereo system started to proudly march towards Berlin!

[skytreker]

I love how you can sing along with the english lyrics. Good job!

[Geodendronitrian]

*In Soviet Russia, music controls you.*

[auberginereverie]

I listened while inside an M1 Abrams, now it's a T-34/86.
