Per Wikipedia, the Song of the Volga Boatmen is a well-known traditional Russian barge-haulers' shanty. The song, also called The Volga Burlak's Song, was inspired by Repin's famous painting, Burlaks on the Volga, depicting the suffering of the people in the depth of misery in Tsarist Russia. Glenn Miller took the song to #1 in the US charts in 1941.
Awesome. That's a great tribute to Glenn.
