Svyaschennaya Voyna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Svyashchennaya Voyna (Cyrillic: Священная война, English Sacred War) was one of the most famous Soviet songs associated with the Great Patriotic War. It was written by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach in 1941 upon the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The composer of the music was Aleksandr Aleksandrov, founder of the Alexandrov Ensemble and the music composer for the Hymn of the Soviet Union.
The song itself has been translated into two languages officially: the German version is Der Heilige Krieg and the Hungarian version is Fel, küzdelemre, hõs haza.
