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.
