proshaniye slavianki

Farewell of Slavianka (Russian: Прощание славянки - Proshchanye Slavyanki) 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. Slavyanka 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[1], and it was recorded in the early 1940s by a military orchestra under Ivan Petrov (1906-1975), though different lyrics were used during that time. There are lyrics which are usually sung by the Red Army choir, even today.[citation needed]

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.

"Farewell of Slavyanka" was first used in movies in the 1957 film, The Cranes are Flying.

un'economia di mercato che ricorda e che inneggia ai vetero-comunisti che hanno combattuto per un'ideologia contro-produttiva economicamente e per un pazzo come Stalin

I love listening to this after consuming generous amounts vodka. And, no, I don't consider that to be indicative of alcoholism, at all. I consider it getting in touch with my ancestral/ethnic heritage Glory to the Mother/Fatherland!! Or something like that... =)

By the way, anyone who makes mixed drinks out of vodka is not a true Slav. Straight up is the only way to go.
