Farewell of Slavianka

Farewell of Slavianka (Russian: Прощание славянки - Proshchanie Slavianki) is a Russian patriotic march, written by the composer Vasily Agapkin in honour of the Bulgarian women bidding farewell to their husbands who left for the First Balkan War. The march premiered in Tambov in 1912 and was subsequently released as a single. Slavianka means "Slavic woman".

The melody gained popularity in Russia and adjoining countries during the World War I, when the Russian soldiers left their homes accompanied by this music. It was also used as an unofficial anthem of Admiral Kolchak's White Army.

It was commonly believed, erroneously, that prior to its use in the award-winning 1957 film The Cranes Are Flying, the song was banned in the Soviet Union due to associations with the tsarist regime and the counter-revolutionary movements. This was not the case. This march was published in an official collection of music for Red Army orchestras, and it was recorded in the early 1940s, by a military orchestra under Ivan Petrov (1906-1975). There are lyrics which are usually sung by the Red Army choir, even today.

Subsequently, several Russian and Polish composers attempted to write lyrics for this music. During the 1990s, the Yabloko party lobbied for the march to be adopted as the National Anthem of Russia, but without success. Currently, the march is recognized as the anthem of the Tambov Oblast. Ships cruising along the Volga and the Rossiya train which runs from Moscow to Vladivostok make use of the tune before departing. Train #2 (named "Ukraine" at the time) used to depart from Kiev to Moscow to the sound of this tune.

Lyrics in Russian
Много песен мы в сердце сложили, Воспевая родные поля. Беззаветно тебя мы любили, Святорусская наша земля.

Высоко ты главу поднимала - Словно солнце твой лик воссиял. Но ты жертвою подлости стала - Тех, кто предал тебя и продал! ПРИПЕВ: И снова в поход! Труба нас зовет! Мы вновь встанем в строй И все пойдем в священный бой. Встань за Веру, Русская Земля!

Ждет победы России святыня. Отзовись, православная рать! Где Илья твой и где твой Добрыня? Сыновей кличет Родина-мать.

ПРИПЕВ.

Все мы - дети великой Державы, Все мы помним заветы отцов Ради Знамени, Чести и Славы Не жалей ни себя, ни врагов.

Встань, Россия, из рабского плена, Дух победы звоет: в бой, пора! Подними боевые знамена Ради Правды, Красы и Добра!

ПРИПЕВ.

The composer Agapkin, would turn in grave if somebody call him a comunist. The march was written in 1912 in names of Bulgarian women. Agapkin was shoked to see how they send their husbands and son in war with turks not in tears, but with flowers.
