Obshestvo IRAS - Moscow - Victory Day Concerts - Videos






From Moscow, Russia, this is a rousing patriotic work from a concert commemorating the Russian victory in WWII.
Directing the choir and orchestra in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory is Vladimir Fedoseyev. I remember seeing Alexander Solzhinitsyn in the audience. The lyrics are as follows:

Arise huge country arise to the mortal fight
With the dark fascist force with the damned horde
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a national holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war

We shall repulse the suffocaters of all ardent ideas
Those tyrants, robbers, torturers of peoples
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The dark wings dare not fly over our native land
The enemy dare not trample her spacious fields

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The rotten fascist unclean
We will drive out with a bullet to the forehead
United with mankind we will hammer out a mighty coffin

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
