@uran235able sure. but the war was caused by Russian encroachment on Manchuria.

@vhscincent It was not Russian invasion of China but Russian-Japan war

@vhscincent that's exactly what I feel.

L'attaque, sans déclaration de guerre, de Port-Arthur par les japonais ouvre le conflit russo-japonais de 1904-1905 et voit le 214° Morkhansky engagé en Mandchourie. Plus 4000 soldats et officiers furent massacrés par les Japonais. 7 survivront dont Illia A. CHATROV qui composa en 1906 cette chanson à la mémoire de ces compagnons morts au combat.
Il sera, ainsi que ses compagnons, décoré de la prestigieuse croix de Saint Georges. So, please, don't speak about chinese, if you don't know History.

As a Chinese, I understand that the background of this song is about invasion of China by imperial Russia, but the song is so beautiful that I can't resist it!



Please, Gentlemen, let's appreciate the lyrism of this russian song.
WONDERFULL !
