Polyushko-polye (Russian: По́люшко-по́ле) is a Soviet Russian-language song. Polye means "field" in Russian, "polyushko" is a diminutive/hypocoristic form for "polye". It is also known as Meadowlands, Song of The Plains or Oh Fields, My Fields in English.

Just listen and enjoy a good song by an outstanding choir.

I love how the Soviet Union seems attractive in today’s America. LoL

(I’ve spent a lot of time in Russia.)

[Sequoyah101]

Always someone new to enjoy something old.

Some of us are old enough and have experienced enough that we forget others see our old world through new eyes.

Yes, it is an inspiring song even if you don’t understand the words.

Nice song. One thing thing that you can say about the Russians is their love for classical music and great architecture beats anything out West.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Another good one: Oh you wide steppe

The Soviet Union tried to stamp out all vestiges of Russian Nationalism.

Ironically, it was Stalin, although a Georgian, who reinstated a sense of Russian Nationalism to rally the country during WWII.

One of my favorite songs from probably the most famous rock band from the Soviet Union

KINO - Spokoynaya Noch’ (Calm Night)

The video has the lyrics translated into English

Awesome!

The Soviets had some catchy tunes. But they were murdering, soul crushing bastards who held life far too cheap. I’m glad the USSR is gone.

I have a 78 rpm version of this in my collection that was recorded in the 1930's. The song is a paean to the "heroes of the Red Army" and tells of how soldiers, submariners, pilots, etc. are on guard as are the collective farms, bubbling with energy. And watching over all of this is the General Klementi Voroshilov, a Stalinist who sent thousands to their deaths--and a future victim of Nikita Khrushchev's "de-Stalinization" purges.

English language versions were released in the US during WWII by recording acts, including Waring's Pennsylvanians and the Lyn Murray Singers.

The Soviets had some catchy tunes.

Here's a catchy tune.

Moskva-Pekin (Moscow-Beijing)--The All-Union Radio Orchestra & Chorus (1950)

Here's another--this one's in German by one of the East Bloc's favorite balladeers.

Stalin, Freund, Genosse (Stalin, Friend & Comrade)--Ernst Busch (1951)

From the Red Army Chorus to the Russian Navy, sort of, the Igor Moiseyev Ballet performs “Yablochko”

Russia has had a very sad and violent history and it reflects in its literature and music.
