I should add that this song became basically the second Soviet anthem between 1941 and 1945. To this day, when it is performed, it is customary that the audience stands up.

13 million civilians and 14 million soldiers of the Soviet Union died so that we could now safely listen to this song. Greetings to the whole world from Minsk.

I'm Greek Pontian born in 1985 in Soviet Union, my great grandfather fought in the WW2 against the Nazis, we don't have any Pictures of him only his Hat. No Country will unite so many ethnicities like Soviet Union did. Every time I hear this song, I cry like a little baby😢

"Hatred of the invading enemy is the most sacred and humane feeling. But it is born with such a pain of heart and torment of the soul that God forbid anyone to experience it a second time."
-Pavel Batov

This guy in the photo died 2 seconds after the photographer took a picture of him raising the fighters to attack! Great photo, powerful song!

Поля ее просторные не смеет враг топтать."

Мои оба деда воевали и прошли всю войну. Я горжусь своими предками. Привет из Беларуси.

This song is so powerful that it fill me with hatred for an enemy i have never seen. Love for the homeland that I wasn't born in. And rage for the tragedy i have never witnessed.

For Russians and former Soviet people, this is a song of victory and fortitude and courage.

I'll give that to the Russians, they sure know how to boost the morale of their soldiers.

Хвала свим херојима и ветеранима, нашим ослободиоцима из великог отаџбинског рата.
Ослободиоци наши, поразили сте тамне хорде нацизма. То нам Европа никада неће опростити, посао још није завршен, борба се наставља!
Много љубави из Републике Српске за нашу храбру и јаку браћу!

i find it extraordinary that this masterpiece, which even to me gives chills and i'm not even Russian (but close lol), was written TWO DAYS after the surprise invasion, and performed 2 days after being written, in the Belorussky Railway Station. talk about talent!

Фотография в начале–"Комбат". Во время боя под селом Хорошее (Луганская область) после смерти комбата А.Г. Ерёменко принял командование на себя. На снимке изображен момент где он поднимает в контратаку группу отступающих солдат. Фотография сделана за несколько моментов до его гибели от осколка или пули. Осколком также сломало фотокамеру, Макс Альперт (фотограф, автор данной фотографии) подумал, что снимок не сохранился, но к счастью фотография проявилась.
