Red army choir - Echelon's song (Song for Voroshilov)

[OliveMonkeys]

Stfu & enjoy music.

[TomyMartin1986]

Whatever your political views are, you have to admit this song is invigorating, and that piece of old soviet animation is just awesome.

[TargetDefenseForce]

Lets just enjoy the song. You can say politics but it wont change anything. Just accept it and listen to this catchy song.

[CiferAndMich]

Was an ad placed on this video as an insult to Communism???

[samael9367]

This song makes me extremely happy!

Beyond what the song says, (I do not understand because I don't speak Russian or English) is very powerful song and always than I hear it brings me a smile.

All Russian marches are sensational.

Seriously, I think if an army listen to any Russian march at the time of entering the battlefield, he would feel powerful enough to win.

Translation doesn't quite fit...

[TheFishbed]

thanks for sharing!

[MrSovietcomrade1]

Wrong translation subtitles but still a good song

[Humberto4790]

Wrong translation, but good song.

[himenbaidya]

long live revolution

[Rereversed]

For all the brutality and repression that came to characterize the soviet union, you gotta admit, their whole gender equality thing was certainly a novel and, at that point in time, an unheard of concept.

[painlessissuicide]

<Socialist

[emiravci]

@Szgerle capitalism live since beginning , when it will die? eh i think not soon..

[JumalanMyrsky]

This song sounds like a steam locomotive of the Revolution would speed forward!

[RenatoNKVD]

USSR forever !

[mwmaxwgreen]

Y'know, this choir sounds a lot more impressive than anything the US has tried to field, choral-wise.

[Kimse84]

@mwmaxwgreen The Russians are really good at singing like this. It is just their thing like the Americans have their thing :o)

[Vectorgrader]

How ironic that this championing of Communistic virtue should be preceded by an advert.

I guess the West really did win the Cold War.

[paunocu666]

@Vectorgrader which communist virtue ?

genocide ?

[ROplayer2]

Нас с тобою, Ворошилов,

Жизнь походная сдружила,

Вместе в бой летели вскачь:

Вспоминает враг с тоскою

Бой под Белой Калитвою,

Бой под станцией Калач.

Вспоминает враг с тоскою

Бой под Белой Калитвою,

Бой под станцией Калач.

[ROplayer2]

За Царицын, за Царицын

Дни и ночи будем биться,

Пики с пиками скрестя:

И не смыть ее дождями,

И не высушить ветрами -

Кровь рабочих и крестьян.

И не смыть ее дождями,

И не высушить ветрами -

Кровь рабочих и крестьян.

[ROplayer2]

Командарм велел - и точка!

Машет беленьким платочком

Дону синему рука.

Эшелон за эшелоном,

Эшелон за эшелоном:

Путь-дорога широка.

Эшелон за эшелоном,

Эшелон за эшелоном:

Путь-дорога широка.

[MrMailmanxxx]

exellent

[MushFarmer]

This brought a tear to my capitalist eyes.

Ron Paul 2012! He is the man of the people!

[dusty7890]

I'm searching for russian music becuase russians have rich musical history. I'm not here to see the comments pages filled up with pointless quarreling and false accusations directed towards people who really have no power to change what happened a few decades ago. Most of the people agueing about this old news didn't even live during the cold war. I feel like it's just a group of highschool aged prejudace punks with nothing better to do other than act like they know something about the subject.

[MrNuserame]

I wonder, who made these annimations and when?

[661Sunshine]

Ever since the Soviet Union fell, Eastern Europe has been going to shit. You might say it was shitty during the Soviet Union, and I won't disagree. But today, it is where niggers and arabs go to fuck white women and take them into the sex slave industry.

[Szgerle]

@661Sunshine

"Eastern Europe has been going to shit."

Lol what? Its a thousand times better.

"niggers and arabs "

None here.

[661Sunshine]

@Szgerle Look at the hundreds of thousand Eastern European women being sold in India and China.

[Szgerle]

@661Sunshine

So? Whores thinking they will get rich from "dancing". There are no niggers or arabs here, only western europeans invited them.

[DarkApostleMatt]

@Szgerle east europe has been shit since the dawn of time

[Szgerle]

@DarkApostleMatt

Dur hur what?

[JesusDiedROFL]

Lol at the edgy and clueless Communists from Reddit.

[commisar44]

This song makes me want to run and go fast.

[STOOPIDTIME]

GLORIOUS EXPOSITION KOMRADE!

[Scratchyt1]

Komrades!!!!

The time of revolution is at hand. It is time for us to put away all of our selfish capitalist and impertialist motives and join the Democratic Party Train to true equality and socialism!!!

Hail Komrade Obamov, Bidenov, and Braun. Death to all reactionary Republicans.

It is time for all the workers of America to have a Tyson chicken in every pot and a pound of acorns a week!!!!!

[Doombunny911]

@Scratchyt1 LOL! LOL! LOL!

[Sirkamilo]

All commies around here should just go to north korea and shut the fuck up

[deltaflow00000]

@Sirkamilo why should communists go to north korea?

north korea is far from communism

i live in norway and i think this is the closest i get to communism right now in life

why? becuse everyone is a middle class

and why should communists shut the fuck up?

why do you hate communism? did you play cod or something?

then you found out that the russians are bad guys

the only bad guys is usa how is constantly attacking and invading weak countrys

how have done them no harm.

[Sirkamilo]

@deltaflow00000 Well I hate communism because russia enslaved Poland. If we were on west not on east side of the curtain, then we could probably be one of the strongest countries, but ussr hold us on the bottom. communism DOESN'T work

[deltaflow00000]

@Sirkamilo communism with stalin as the leader really isnt true communism.

[Archraveful]

@deltaflow00000 like what they did to my country... century ago

[Lee1995S]

@deltaflow00000 I live in the USA and I agree with you! All news is a lie if it's not from a direct, truthful source. I don't think Russia is evil, nor China or any other socialist or communist countries. The only way I think any one is evil is if they attack without warning and enslave an entire people.

[warhawkjah]

@deltaflow00000 I'm here because the music is fun to listen to and because I'm a history geek. Stop glorifying communism itself. Everyone is the lower class in communism except for a few high ranking government officials who have all the wealth and power. If you work hard you will only get the minimum of what you produce; the state takes the rest. At least in capitalism people have a chance to keep what they worked hard for.

-Long live freedom!

[miha1393]

@warhawkjah You obviously don't have any idea of what communism actually is. You should read up on your Marx and Engels.

[warhawkjah]

@miha1393 Marx was wrong.

[Wolfe2469]

@warhawkjah You're basically explaining how America is at the moment XD A tiny percentage of the population holding nearly all the wealth while the rest suffer. There is more than 50 million people in America who live in poverty.

America's economy has became a corporate fascist economy.

The American dream and everything is now nothing but empty words; false idealistic nonsense which is nearly completely irrelevant today.

[warhawkjah]

@Wolfe2469 Actually government is the reason why there are so many problems nowdays. The housing crisis was caused not by the banks themselves but by politicians forcing banks to give loans to people who couldn't pay them. It the politicians taking kickbacks from environmentalist groups that are making the gas prices higher by impeding production. If the government would just leave the economy alone and let hard work be rewarded then a lot more poor people would no longer be poor.

[IgorWelkenbach]

@warhawkjah That's Fox News communism for you. So much for being a "history geek"

[warhawkjah]

@IgorWelkenbach Really. If you think communism is so great then name one time where it has actually worked.

[IgorWelkenbach]

@warhawkjah Socialization of basic services in several countries of europe and cuba (do you really think Cuba was better off under Fulgencio?). Communist Iugoslavia was way better than nowadays (in both polytical and social ways, as there was no sectarian violence)- Communist president Allende of chile. Communist Nicaragua under the Sandinista guerrillas, being themselves the people in arms, overthrowing the Somoza brutal dictatorship

[warhawkjah]

@IgorWelkenbach This like saying that East Germany was better off under the DDR than the Nazis; it may be true but doesn't mean it's a good system just because the old government was worse. Also, Yugoslavia no longer exists. Six countries are now independent and free, why don't you tell the people there that they were better off under a Soviet puppet state.

[IgorWelkenbach]

@warhawkjah No way Cuba, being that close to the US, would be better off being capitalist . The Us would just enforce its economic and polytical agend like it does to the rest of Latin america. It would be either a Fulgencio or a Karzai (puppet) there, if there was no Fidel. And yes I've heard from the mouth of my serbian friend that Iugoslavia was better off during Communist. A lot better. It took a few years after the fall of the soviet union for the country to fall apart.

[radurambo]

@IgorWelkenbach Not only Serbians regret the beautiful Jugoslavija, but even the Slovenes!

[IgorWelkenbach]

@warhawkjah Also to say Iugoslavia was a soviet puppet is to be very ignorant of history. Despite being communist, it was one of the most independent countries of the Eastern bloc - it wasnt even part of the Warsaw pact.

[radurambo]

@warhawkjah stupid: "Six countries are now independent and free". Actually you have eight of them, 8 so call "states" - pathetic colonies of IMF....

[Wolfe2469]

@deltaflow00000 100 % correct. The US needs to accept that the cold war is over

( which was political bullshit by the way)

[Szgerle]

@deltaflow00000

Maybe people hete communists because its a dead ideology responssible for the death of hundreds of millions of people.

[GudrunL95]

@deltaflow00000 I agree with you about USA, but let's not make it look like that the Russians are the ''good guys'', or even close. Look up the countries Russia has invaded through out the years, I think it'd surprise you, seeing how you think USA are the ''only'' bad guys.. It's certain that, way more people have had to suffer because of Russia, rather than USA, but USA will probably top them in the next decades, or so.

[SniperSurkov]

@deltaflow00000 communism kills inocent people

7m ukrainians died by stalin

over 30m died in the famine by mao tse tung

etc

[IgorWelkenbach]

@SniperSurkov millions died in vietnam laos and cambodia under US bombing and chemical agents

millions more under western colonization of africa and asia and the americas

Millions in india and china under british rule of revolts and famine

Millions in ww1 and ww2 provoked by imperialist greed (can anything even compare?)

Theres also the atomic bombs in Japan... the millions of dead in Iraq and Afghanistan

[Archraveful]

@Sirkamilo you shut the fuck up!

[666matiascast]

jajajajaja



[rosie11954]

This song is so empowering! I love it!

[michaelkulyk]

Although I like the song I have no admiration for Vorishilov, whatever he may have done during the civil war he became a toady to Stalin and ended up denoucing his comrades at Stalin's behest.Lenin would spit in his face.

[michaelkulyk]

Communism does not exist on this planet yet.It was never acheived in the Soviet Union. Lenin would have opposed Stalin's 'Socialism in a single state' policy with every fibre of his being.He would have seen it as an outright betrayal of everything he fought for.You have only to read his brilliant work on 'Imperialism' as the last epoch of capitalism to know this.This is what these Red army revolutionaries fought for-International Socialism-workers of the world unite!

[Lascupa0788]

Communism is dead?

China would like a word with you.

[coldnexusfrontline]

I have this as my alarm clock when I get up in the morning.YEEE HAWWWW

[661Sunshine]

12 people are in this train heading for the gulag

[Archraveful]

@661Sunshine theyre 15 now and the first three already working for rail roads. :)

[michaelkulyk]

I love this song because it was sung when the revolution was truly international,before it became deformed by 'socialism in a single state'.The Red cavelry who sang this wanted to carry the revolution to the rest of the proleteriat. Their hopes will not have been in vain.

[Ultracactuar]

Glory to the Red Army! never forget your fallen comrades!!

[ghostsade3]

This is by far the most powerful and truly awesome army march I have ever heard. Could you imagine being there, one of the people fighting for freedom from oppression of capitalism and the bourgeoisie, being a part of an awe-inspiring and unprecedented worker's revolution? In one of the most interesting eras of history, the cross between renaissance and modern technology, a time of hope! A time to look to the future! A time when people were united, when they had nothing to lose but their chains.

[redreaper2020]

@ghostsade3 thumbs up for epic justice.

[rapidarespondo]

@ghostsade3 the red army brings the death and destroy!

[rapidarespondo]

@ghostsade3 the red army brings the death, hungry, misery and destroy

[HerpatitisC]

@ghostsade3

Capitalism isn't the problem. Its the divorce of what America used to be that is the problem. The word Republic really lost its meaning.

[rapidarespondo]

@ghostsade3 they were cruel bandits, now ask Tchechenia!

[rapidarespondo]

@ghostsade3 the red army brings destroy, hunger and the death! Ask Tchetchenia, Groznyj

[Wingatewasright]

@ghostsade3 You will find that Stalin showed the people of his empire that they could lose far more than their chains, their dignity, their self-respect, their friends, their families, their freedom, their lives … Each and every victory of the Red Army made possible the eventual complete victory of Joseph Stalin, the greatest enemy of the Russian people in all their sad history.

[ghostsade3]

I play this song WAY too fucking loud. It wakes the dead but is so fucking awesome.

[rabulio]

Эшелон за эшелоном, Эшелон за эшелоном: Путь-дорога широка. Командарм велел - и точка! Машет беленьким платочком Дону синему рука. Нас с тобою, Ворошилов, Жизнь походная сдружила, Вместе в бой летели вскачь: Вспоминает враг с тоскою Бой под Белой Калитвою, Бой под станцией Калач

[rabulio]

@rabulio Нас с тобою, Ворошилов, Жизнь походная сдружила, Вместе в бой летели вскачь: Вспоминает враг с тоскою Бой под Белой Калитвою, Бой под станцией Калач. За Царицын, за Царицын Дни и ночи будем биться, Пики с пиками скрестя: И не смыть ее дождями На бугре и в волчьей яме - Кровь рабочих и крестьян. Командарм велел - и точка! Машет беленьким платочком Дону синему рука. Эшелон за эшелоном, Эшелон за эшелоном: Путь-дорога широка.

[Atvor]

this song just fills me with such a desire to fight for mother russia!!!, even though i'm irish. being that since the start of the new year i have been reading one book after another on the german-soviet war in WW2 and i have built a respect for both countrys culture and history.

[OfTheAncient]

crap translation is crap

[DonFeYoNe]

Translation on video isn't correct Army commander gave the order Hand with white hankerchief waves goodbye to the blue waters of Don river Me and you, Voroshilov live on the march made us friends. We together did ride in fight. Enemies remember with sadness fight near While Kalitva... fight for station Kalach. For our Tzaritzin, for our Tzaritzin We gonna fight day and night, crossing lances with lances. And you cannot wash away not with sun and not with rain blood of workers and villagers.

[minderbinder8]

@darkon112

Actually, oil being 1/5th of GDP is enormous.

[darkon112]

@minderbinder8 Compared to so called other oil states it isn't. But overall I agree.

[minderbinder8]

Love the song and animation. The translation, I dunno. Don't think a military march should have the word "hanky" in it anywhere. Maybe there's a better word? Anyhow, thanks and cheers.

[Atvor]

i really like this one, was it written during the russian civil war?

[commisar44]

Love it!

[ViciousCritique]

Addictive song .

[slaviusful]

I was at the station Kalach, in the Volgograd Region))

[TheSoviet13]

want lyrics people

[zahaladino]

who was echelon?

[zilbiol]

@zahaladino an echelon is a military unit, maybe referring to the cossack 1st cavalry army which sided with voroshilov during the russian revolution, or maybe the small units of irregular infantry that developed a high morale "band of brothers" mentality which the revolution depended on

[rbdzntsfrlk]

(Insert politically ignorant comment here)

[KaneCyborg]

Picture of hell...I am so glad we stopped this madness in 1920. But choir and music are great

[swater561]

i can't see why 11 person unlike this video

[ediunicko]

@swater561 because the wheels of the steam engine are wrong.

[swater561]

@ediunicko "error error error can't launch fuck?" I do not see what Steam has this to do

[ediunicko]

@swater561 I LIKE THE VIDEO, THE ONLY REASON, JOKING, OF NEGATIVE VOTES GIVEN TO THE VIDEO FOR THE WHEELS OF LOCOMOTIVE FITTED WITH THE ROD SO ABSURD. BUT THAT CAN NOT BE LOGICAL THE REAL REASON OF NEGATIVE VOTES .. HELLO

[swater561]

@ediunicko hahaha I knew not but I did not care for your face lol

[swater561]

@ediunicko "error error error can't launch fuck?" I do not see what steam done here

[Armalizilto]

Awesome

[NeverBackDown182]

приветствия от Болгарии, вечной дружбы!

[MaaToo91]

Drained in Vodka that you didnt start a revolt =D when you desert you get shots in the back.....what a country.

[HubertWolfen]

long live the russian peoples !

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

look how many eastern europeoner's have immigrated to america and how many americans have immigrated to eastern europe... just saying

[keninvictoria]

New Russia will pick up the pieces the United States (Roman Empire) leaves behind. America has had a few hundred years but now ALL returns to Europe, Russia and China. When the 2nd NEP ends.. ALL will continue.. the REVOLUTION!

[ComradeCody]

this remind me of the movie "pancho villa" (1972)

[Flugabwehrkanone]

11 people were pwned at Kalach Station.

[darkon112]

@myersde91 Also despite free health care (well almost) pretty much most hospitals weren't as well equipped as in the west. Most medical equipment was 10 to sometimes 20 years old compared to what you'd find in the western hospitals. There was also severe shortage of medical supplies on account of majority of it being stock piled for the army and well for preparation for another large scale war.

[darkon112]

@myersde91 Despite that there were housing issues most people were living in tiny apartments not fit for 2 people let alone a family. One had to sign up on the governments list to get a better and bigger house either for rent or to buy. The waiting list was so long that one had to wait sometimes 10 years or even longer to be able to get a better house. That was especially a big issue in Russia from what my mother said.

[darkon112]

@myersde91 It depended from country to country (and parts of that country) . Baltic countries generally were well off The pay was higher, shops were always well stocked even in the 70's. And western goods there were much easier to obtain. Along with better quality soviet goods. In the 80's the life there was not far from western standards overall. And a lot higher then in most Warsaw pact nation, Russia itself and Ukraine(minus Crimea).

[darkon112]

@myersde91 I was from Latvia originally.

[modbros1]

@darkon112 I like your standpoint on the situation my country (US) needs to change one way or another whether it be from collapse because our political leaders are too foolish to run a government or from invasion from one of 10s of countries we owe debt too because we can't stay out of foreign affairs

[commisar44]

i am russian and i love the war music from russia, this song is awsome!!!!

[legovor]

Даже если убрать весь текстовой смысл песни, какое удивительно профессиональное исполнение. Большое удовольствие слушать, спасибо

[MegaVladimir1988]

soviet russia had women soldiers before america

[xerxes876]

@MegaVladimir1988 And America still does not allow them in the front! Its just insane.

[fishontuesday]

I wonder how many views Ive give this video.

[ivanoech]

I listening this song again, and want to thanks you for giving us this precious song. I just would like to sing it myself.

[ivanoech]

I listen this song many times and never tired of listen again. What a forceful song full of enthusiasm, patriotism, valour, joy.

[popawheelie33]

@ivanoech YARGHHH!

[Szgerle]

@ivanoech

"patriotism"

I think you wildly missed with that..

[bulavo]

@jebarr7391ngc

we all do comrade, especially on the 9th of march

[Ved0000]

WAVES HIS HANKY LOL

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

this song is fucking awesome. think ill try to use it in a movie some day. 

[Szgerle]

Why cant people enjoy army marches without politics?

[JahiriAtto]

@Szgerle Armies and war are just an extention of politics.

[DonFeYoNe]

@Szgerle because there are none! All army marches are there to celebrate the accomplishments of some system...

[Szgerle]

@DonFeYoNe

"some system"

Of course. Army marches celebrate killing and cohesion. Thats their only purpose from the simplest tribal haka to the Alexandro Choir. Dont like it? Slink back to your pink and fluffy dream world where people dont want to kill eachother.

[hersheyguy]

@Szgerle because a military is politics extended beyond the pen. Fuck nationalism and fuck capitalism. Koniggratzer Marsch sucks too.

[Szgerle]

@hersheyguy

Keep raging please.

[zilbiol]

@hersheyguy I will listen to that one next then, if it makes an ideologue mad it must be good.

[Just4Th3Lulz]

@Szgerle army is part of the military which is a political tool. HERP DERP.

[wotan20]

@Szgerle Because politics (and also different interpretations of Human history) seeps into just about every Human activity possible.

[jimmyxx3]

@Szgerle

Yes, I totally agree.

I'm a WW2 German military fan, and I love this song!

[CienkiCienias]

@Szgerle

Because they are 'army' marches. ;)

[TheAmazeingAnarchist]

@Szgerle cause people are pissed there counties marches dont kick ass like the russians

[emilhult]

@Szgerle Because armies only exist because of political reasons.

[SAOS451316]

@emilhult Except Blackwater and other mercenary armies, which exist for monetary reasons.

[NormbrettaMod]

@Szgerle

anything to do with an "army" is inevitablly controversal

[pedroissler]

@NormbrettaMod yeah that's probably the most overrated comment ever

[NormbrettaMod]

@pedroissler

agreed.

[communard0011]

@Szgerle Maybe because Armies are political tools.

Brothers, Sisters, We love Life, don't we?

Let's Unite for World Communism!

[Szgerle]

@communard0011

Communism is dead and you should notice it already.

[Archraveful]

@Szgerle sincewhen ideas died?

[Szgerle]

@Archraveful

Since ideas were formed. Tribalism is dead, feudalism is dead,monarchism is dead, fascism is dead and communism is dead, and all of their various mutations are dead too.

[ROplayer2]

@Szgerle The communism hasn't died, he was killed by traitors

[BritonAgainstIslam]

@ROplayer2

So 'he' didn't die yet he was killed? You moron . . .

[chromelemon]

This song gives me energy. It makes me want to get off my ass and do something.

[MaxXxMeier]

sounds wonderfull- i love it

[lambrioza]

Moder Russian Army should build Apocalypse Tanks and Kirovs, then they would take over the world for sure

[MsUniverse4ever]

Incredible singing! Kudos!

[Russenliebchen]

Prosta klassnaja

[WSWarthog]

This makes me want to jump up and punch the screen. Commie songs always give me the itch.

[Weemancake]

@WSWarthog Why dont you go ahead and punch your screen then? Then we can be free from your bitching.

Go ahead and watch some more of your own propaganda, americunt, mabye the "US" will become good if you watch it enough.

[WSWarthog]

@Weemancake

hahaha what?

For what it's worth I'm not from the USA.
