Across The River (Там вдали за рекой) - EPIC Soviet Instrumental Song
There, Far Away Across The River (Russian: Там вдали за рекой) is a 1924 Soviet song dedicated to the memory of a cavalry detachment during the Russian Civil War. The music was written by A. V. Alexandrov, founder of the Red Army Choir, with words by the poet Nikolai Kool.

There exist several other versions of Там вдали за рекой/There, far away, across the river with slightly variant melodies and distinct lyrics. It is believed that the original was a folk traditional piece, of which Alexandrov provided one transcription that became the most famous.
According to Yevgeny Dolmatovsky, Kool used a plot widely spread in folk songs, according to which a warrior, dying, asks a faithful horse or friend to convey his message to someone. According to Kool, the rhythmic pattern was inspired by the song of convicts “As soon as dawn breaks in Siberia.“ In April 1924, conscription into the regular army was announced in the USSR for the first time after the end of the Civil War. Nikolai Kool was among the first recruits. He offered his poem as a drill song, which quickly became popular. For quite a long time it was considered “popular“ — only years later did Kool prove his authorship.
