"'Tachanka'" , sometimes labelled "'Song of the Tachanka'" is a Soviet revolutionary song from the late interwar period, composed by Konstantin Listov and written by Mikhail Ruderman in 1937. It describes an unnamed battle in the Russian Civil War and the Tachankas, or machine-gun carts, that were used by the Red Army at the time. The song underwent several lyrical changes over the years, and features in the repertoire of the Red Army Choir and Leon Lishner.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211208/xi1tsBw8pXs Ghostarchive] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20191105221526/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi1tsBw8pXs Wayback Machine]:
