Artillery

[baronofcheese]

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking fro this song for a while now.

[Korsakov829]

This is the best song.

[l0lidude]

This is my favourite

[nationalcommunism]

this is the artillerist anthem of Russia Federation, not soviet union. The original chorus should be "artillerists, Stalin gave us order! Artillerists the soviet calls us forth"something like that...im english

@nationalcommunism Actually, this version is probably a de-Stalinised, but still Soviet-era version. The original chorus says (literally):

"Artillerists, Stalin has given the order Artillerists, The Motherland calls us"

Here the first line of the chorus is: "Artillerists, the order is clearly given". Stalin's name was removed.

This alone may suggest that it is not a Soviet-era version. But... (To be continued)

@nationalcommunism (Continuation of prev. comment)

Let's examine the first half of the 3rd line of the 3rd verse.

Original version:

"For the glory of our Vozhd' (Chief)". This was a reference to Stalin.

This version:

"For the glory of the birth-giving Party". This is clearly a reference to the CPSU.

The lyrics were probably revised between Stalin's death and the fall of the USSR, as indicated by the reference to the CPSU that a songwriter in the Russian Federation wouldn't make.

[DarthVaderJ154]

They are talking about protecting their motherland by killing their enemies under great fire and protecting their parents and beautiful girlfriends.
