Some fop in another comment section of a different video of this song strongly asserted the claim that this song was not one that is commonly danced to. This, due to the historical context of the songs inception surrounding the Russo-japanese war. Surely I can understand his point, but here we are, dancing. Almost unsettling to witness, dancing to the requiem of death.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

I think it was meant to be a waltz, maybe it was danced to as a sign of respect to the fallen?

[@WiggaMachiavelli]

Is the film matched to the recording of the music? I think it improper to dance.

Where did you find a version of this song that sounds like it’s out of a music box? I enjoy the unique way the music box version of this song sounds but can’t find anything outside this video.

[@bananarama9000]

Are you talking about the first part? If so then it sounds like it is being played by an instrument called "accordion". It is a popular musical instrument throughout Eastern Europe.

[@wigglyjiggly9935]

@@bananarama9000 I am aware of the accordian, but I mean the part that sounds like it came out of a music box, which played before the accordian.

This song; has no equal in American Culture. The close one might be Glory Glory Hallelujah. The song, was made after the Anti-war poem; penned about the Russo Japanese War in 1905. That I.A. Shatrov fought in, as not a solider, but the companies band leader. Playing music admit the chaos. The Death Toll in Manchuria was insane, Russian or Japanese. To this day, the only other song, Slovakian Farewell; resonates fighting for Russia in all of her combats as they.

[@WiggaMachiavelli]

Not Slovakian.

Why is Russian music and broadly Eastern European music somewhat depressing and haunting?

[@loveusa4ever673]

This song is supposed to be sad: it's about the dead Russian soldiers in a battle during the Russian Japanese war in Manchuria in 1905. It has nothing to do with the V day.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

@@loveusa4ever673 never said it did. Yea I was saying broadly since Slavic music uses a lot of minor chords. Yea It’s about the battle of Mukden

[@Martina-Kosicanka]

My guess: To help the audience to cope with dark things that are too much of an emotional burden for them. You listen to it, you cry and you feel either better or you could more easily cope with things. Very typical are Cossack song in that matter. They are wery often singing about dying, not in the glorious way, but it the very cruel, realistic way: for example song Ne dlya tebya (Not For You) describes all the beuatiful little things in life and than claims: they are not for you, for you there is only a piece lead (=a bullet). Another song, Under the Willow tree describes a wounded soldier who is saying farewell to his bride, claiming that he has found other bride for himself- the Death. In Lyubo, Bratci, Lyubo (Lovely, brothers, lovely)- the main point is that it is lovely to live, but with commandeur like theirs, you are ready to follow him to death. The graphic part: My blond curls and my fair eyes will be overgrowned with weeds My white bones and my brave heart will be scattered across the steppe by crows.
