I think he means that if English was like Russian we could call Catherine a nickname like Cathy or Cate if she was dear or close to us; and we do, so he's wrong lol
However, I agree in some respects that with Russian the formal/informal distinction is still largely adhered to and this can be useful for someone to know where their relationship stands with another person. Endearing endearments :)
I,m not need translation (of course not all word of text I,m understand- but russians language is for second Slavic not too hard)- Ocheni krasivaja piesn !
Song of love her maiden love declaring, Chase the sun and speed without delay, Warmest greeting from Katusha bearing, To the border guardman far away. May the boy his village girl remember, May he hear her love of tenderness, May he guard his native land forever, And Katusha guard her love no less. Blossoms filled the apple trees and pear trees, Mist upon the river floated by, Down Katusha came to gather berries, On the cliff top rising steepe ang high.
Russians must accept inevitable truth that bolsheviks who DESTROYED RUSSIA 1917 and erased it from the map of the World and annuled the name Russian by creating nebulous bolshevk name Soviet Union, those bolshevik monsters commited on Russians and other Slavs the greatest HOLOCAUST in history of mankind! Killing over 80 MILLION of Russians and other Slavs from 1917 till 1956. Russians are ashamed of internal monsters and are hiding them but blame everybody else.
Honour may be with all of those who fought to defend Russia from the illegal German invasion. But also should be remembered many not-so-glorious events. Like the massacre of Katyn, forced annexation of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the Winter War against Finland(1939-1940). And not to mention the 50 years of oppression that followed the "liberation" of Eastern Europe in 1944-1945. You Russians should really learn about these things and deal with your history like the Germans have done.
If you want to make an omelette ya gotta crack a few eggs. It takes a lot to compete against a global power like the United states influence and those of the once emperial western european powers. Russian aggression is usually a means to further reinforce and protect Russian interests. How can we be faulted with that? We did our own thing with our own agenda. We protect ourselves with military action, much like the USA. No world power has clean hands, they've all given someplace the shaft

wipem, Russians must accept inevitable truth that bolsheviks who DESTROYED RUSSIA 1917 and erased it from the map of the World and annuled the name Russian by creating nebulous bolshevk name Soviet Union, those bolshevik monsters commited on Russians and other Slavs the greatest HOLOCQAUST in history of mankind!

kozjevime if you beleive it was 80 million i suggest you stop taking whatever drugs you are taking,the Russian power at the time did do bad things,but tell me a country that hasnt.America at Hiroshima caused a lot of deaths,their attack on Vietnam still has effects to this very day and probably will for the next hundred years or so,they have also invaded many other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and caused many deaths.
i actualy think he may be right he sayd not only russian but many other slavs so yes i wud agree not to the 80mil but more like 50 cuz about 33 mill russian its possible
Yes, her beloved is in the army, but it never really goes into her song. All it says that she's singing about him, not anything else, and since the soldiers sung it, one (or at least me) assumes that the song is meant to spur the soldiers onto victory, not make them sad.
Love the song, but that opening tune puts me in the 7th heaven. Could someone recomend other music reminding of this. Or maybe is it a part of a larger tune?
When I lived in the city of Berkeley, California, We had some Russian friends who came over to our home and, as a reward for showing around my town, I received a small piece of the Berlin Wall.

My family left the Ukraine when I was three in 1943. I lived with this song all my life, hearing my father sing it. But Irina's interpretation is totally overwhelming.
My maternal name is Bilyk. Irina, are we related? I know no one, but there were many. From the town of Petrovske. Priviet vciem! From the USA. Tony
Yes, the Iron Curtain was the impenatrable boundry between the Soviet controlled area and the west. It needs to come down again to protect against influences! It should be much better when we elect OBAMA as president! He won the nomination today! Woohoo!
me hace recordar a mis abuelos ucraninos que llegaron al peru en el año de 1948, ellos se llaman gregorio wydyborec chepurko (fallecido) y nadia perchenko gubchenko (vive), ellos era de kiev.
se que tengo familia en rusia, ucrania, francia e italia,saludos si leen este reportaje.
One of my all time favourites. Als listen to this song as performed by Iryna Bilyk, you can almost imagine the heroic struggle of the Red Army in the Great War.
ı come from turkey and i also love russia and their culture very much. i listened most of your songs and the most i loved maksim-zneash li ty perfect and farewell of slavianka is also perfect;)kathusya, polyushko pole are also my favourites.

Blossoms graces the apple trees and pear trees.
Mist upon the river floated by,
Down Katusha came to gather berries,
On the cliff top rising steepe and high.
There she walked and there she started singing,
Of the dove-grey eagle of the stepp,
Of the one that she had her heart winging,
Of the one whoose letters she had kept.
