"'" (, ) is a song written in 1954 by Soviet composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Mikhail Dudin. It was originally written for the film 'Maksim Perepelitsa' starring Leonid Bykov. The movie itself was released in 1955, and the song has achieved fame and popularity independently of it ever since. To this day it is still used as a so-called 'drill song' (somewhat similar to a cadence call in the U.S. Army). In 1959, Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi received the Lenin Prize for this song.[http://muzruk.info/?p=1166 Creation of the song] (in Russian)[http://www.glinskie.ru/common/message.php?table=calend&num=89 Solovyov-Sedoi's biography] (in Russian)
