Les Luthiers (Argentina) borrowed the music of this song for their song: 'Oi Gadoñaya', which is not written in russian, but in a skillfully written spanish in order to make it sound like russian!

What a song! - one of my fondest memory of my childhood and my Dad. He loved this song and the Don Kosaken Choir.

@valma73 Did you know that that when German was defeated the USA and the other allies betrayed the Don Cossacks and handed 15.000 Don Cossack soldiers, women and children to the butchers of Stalin? Try looking up the betrayal of the Don Cossacks and operation keelhaul.

@vermsiggi My grandfather had a dramatic tenor. Before escaping the Soviet Union-coming to the US and joining Serge Zharoff choir he used to be a leading singer at the Kharkiv Opera (Ukraine).
I do not have a scanned headshot of him, but in this clip he can be seen every time the soloist is shown.
