SABATON - Poltava - English (Official Lyric Video)

[@Sabaton]

The Battle of Poltava, which was part of the Great Northern War, began on July 8, 1709. Peter the Great and his Russian army routed the Caroleans on a battlefield in modern day Ukraine. Charles XII, also known as Carolus Rex, was defeated by the larger Russian force.

3 reasons why Sabaton is amazing band 1. Their lyrics and rythm is powerful even if they are talking about big loss like this song 2. They teach you about history 3. They make you unbeliavably patriotic for any country they sing about, yours or not

[@regalblade8171]

And if a song is about your country you become even more patriotic

[@stanukr1194]

@@regalblade8171 yes , Ukrainians and Sweden's people must be proud, they tried their best but russian petr was too lucky back then

This is real patriotism, to talk not only about victories, but also defeats. I wish there were more bands like Sabaton. I love Sabaton with all my heart. :)

[@Sr_Sem]

Yes, I agree, we must also remember the defeat in the history of our states. And as for similar groups... I listen to one of these, Radio Tapok, maybe I’ve heard it. Initially, they did cover translations of mostly English-language songs in the rock and metal genres. They released the cover before the official song "Attack of The Dead Men" was released, and the cover also included an insert with the members of Sabaton themselves. One of the first original songs was dedicated to the battle of Moscow. There were comments under the song that joked that they were waiting for Sabaton to cover this song. To everyone's surprise, Sabaton made a cover, which is called (Which was not official) "Defense of Moscow". Let's return to "Slipper" (Yes, "Tapok" is translated exactly like that). Now he is mainly engaged in composing his songs; his last cover was a year ago for Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark. The songs, like Sabaton's, usually cover history, although here they are mainly about the history of their fatherland, although there were 2 songs dedicated to the victims of the bombing of Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), as well as the Crusades. P.S. My English would probably not be sufficient to write this answer, so I used a translator. Thank you for your attention, I wish you good luck.

A monumental event in history. The final nail in the coffin of Sweden's era of dominance and it's conclusive end as a superpower. From being a power that shaped the whole history of the northern Europe to being completely irrelevant. And ofc the tragic end of a great and competent monarch who tragically ended even being shot by his own soldiers.

@@anonymuz796 I'm talking about the first battle of Narva. On that day, the outdated Streltsy troops, possessing a numerical majority, were soundly defeated by Charles 12. In the battle, only three regiments, which were funny in Peter's childhood, stood out for their bravery. These are Preobrazhentsy, Lefortovtsy and Semenovtsy. They were captured, but Charles released them along with the banner. The basis of the future Russian army.

King Carolus XII went on to escape to the Ottoman empire, where he set up court in Moldova and was such an obnoxious guest for four years that the Ottomans' patience ran out and they had him arrested. Apparently, he just had decided to make the town of Bender his new home, and had no interest in returning to Sweden. Karl XII really was a bad excuse for a king. He managed to lose to *Norway* a few years later.

My Ukrainian Gido was born in a village that today is in Eastern Poland not far from the Ukrainian border. As an adult he had many characteristics typically associated with Swedes including being very tall and belong, and having blue eyes. Ofc Poltava is located in modern Eastern Ukraine. However, the events of The Great Northern War impacted much of Eastern Europe and likely led to many Swedish soldiers not returning home... especially after Poltava.

[@LoudnessJP]

Swedes have a long history in relation to Ukraine that started many centuries before the battle of Poltava, so it's a given that affected bloodlines.
