This song is dedicated to city of Tula, wtich played major role in WW II. In 1941 despite great effort of wermacht, defenders of this city withstand offensive led by H. Guderian. Tula was center of heavy industry and was important for re-arming units by huge numbers of submachine guns, mainly famous PPSh and semi-automtic rifle SVT-40. Before war, Tula was known for its samovary. "In peace we make samovary, in war we make samopaly". The phrase "Samovary of Tula" was often used in military language to describe units equiped by submachine guns. In 1976 the city of Tula was rewarded by title City-Hero!

  • @TheTimasia In English, the phrase "fuck yeah!" is used to express enthusiasm toward something. Just to let you know...

  • Merci pour celle belle page d'histoire, ces belles photos, et ces explications historiques.

  • Причем тут submachine guns? Самопал это простонародное название всего огнестрельного.

  • umm, is samopal not primitive rifle made by home tools and things? Is not samovar vodka made in basemant ;D?

  • This is why I love Russia, they make a cheerful song about spraying lead from sub-machine guns

  • @TheTimasia You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I was basically saying this song is awesome, in my own special way.

  • @GTMHydro And long live your coca-cola? Why are you so evil -any problems in your private life? But you don't need at all use foul language if something isn't up your alley. Just don't watch , relax and be happy.

  • Today Tula is producing the Russians Oktava microphones.
