День Победы | КОММЕНТАРИИ ИНОСТРАНЦЕВ REACTION TO RUSSIAN Victory Day Soviet Song Credit: Hakushin Channel [Eng CC] Victory Day / День Победы [Soviet Song] “Den’ Pobedy“ ranks among the most popular in the large corpus of Russian songs devoted to the Second World War. The song refers to the Victory Day (9 May) celebration and differs from most of these by its cheerful intonations of a marching song and by the fact that it was composed some thirty years after the war. In the words of Vladimir Shainsky, a veteran composer, “the song seemed to have turned back the time. Although written three decades after the war, it now seems that it was this song that helped us to gain the victory“.
