The holy war

The holy war (Russian Священная война, transcription Svjaschtschennaja wojna, transliterated Svjaščennaja vojna) is one of the most famous Soviet songs devoted to the Second World War.

The text was written in the year 1941 by Wassily Lebedev-Kumatsch after the German attack on the Soviet Union and published in Izvestia on 24 June 1941. The composer then composed the author of the Soviet anthem, Alexander Alexandrov. The song was completed on June 26, 1941, a few days after the beginning of the war. His premiere was at the Belorussian railway station in Moscow, where volunteers were sent to the front. At first, it was rarely aired, since it was a heavy fatal battle instead of an early easy victory. In the autumn of 1941, however, it was sent to the Soviet radio every morning. The annual parade on the Victory Day on Red Square in Moscow will be launched in Russia today. Weblinks Edit sourcetext Single-level Edit source text
