- "Den' Pobedy" (Russian: День Победы, English: Victory Day) 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".

In order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Second World War, the Soviet government announced a competition for the best song about the war. In March 1975, poet Vladimir Kharitonov, who had taken part in the war, approached his traditional co-author, the young composer David Tukhmanov, with a proposal to write a new song for the occasion. This effort was to differ strikingly from their previous collaborations, which had been disco-influenced chartbusters. Several days before the deadline, Kharitonov brought his lyric to Tukhmanov and the latter composed a song just in time to be recorded track of an orchestra. His wife Tatyana Sashko (the singer and the lyricist) sang Den Pobedy before the jury.
However, the jury, composed primarily of elderly songwriters whose tastes had been formed decades earlier, was exceedingly displeased with the result. The lyrics appeared to them lightsome and frivolous, while the melody was alleged to abuse the "rhythms of tango and foxtrot", two "bourgeois" dances which had been banned in the Soviet Union.
Although the performance of the song was strongly discouraged, Lev Leshchenko, one of the most popular Soviet singers, dared to premiere it during his concert in Alma-Ata in late April. Then the song was performed in the Little Blue Light TV show on 9 May by another singer (Leonid Smetannikov)), but his interpretation was rather lackluster and failed to attract attention. Thereupon the song was not performed until 10 November when Leshchenko revived it for a grand concert (and live in Soviet television) in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses on the Militsiya Day. His performance astounded the censors but proved to be a runaway success with the audience, who clamored for an encore.
Since then, the song has been invariably performed during every Victory Day celebrations in the Soviet Union and Russia, often concluding a program of festivities, with the last stanza drowned in sounds of fireworks over the Red Square. According to Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev liked this song greatly, especially when performed by Joseph Kobzon, and predicted to Kharitonov that "folks would sing this tune for many years after you and I are gone".
Brezhnev's expectation did not fail to materialize, in part because, as the US-American researcher David MacFadyen explains, "this powerful song draws not upon the bravery of youthful soldiers but the private memories of ageing, greying veterans. Its poignant combination of joy at a stunning victory and sadness at great loss sounds just as relevant today, when the war itself is something about which many young Russians neither know nor care". - Hudba

@@DenisBourveau True. We should have been more vigilant.
Now Ukraine is the only doing that.
This is not about Russia or Ukraine or Belarus or whoever else. It's about the Soviet Union.

MENOS MILITARES EMAIS MEDICOS E PROFESSORES PARA ACABAR GUERRAS E DALVAR VIDAD
Do you think they won’t stream this years victory day parade because of the sanctions?
Larga vida a la madre patria, long live to the mother Russia, the motherland, tavarish, long live to the sovetsky souyus 🇲🇽🤝🇷🇺
Sadly the once great land of the workers now enslaved them and murders their brothers
Pretty sad to be listening to this in the midst of Russia pretty much being an Imperialist nation
how ironic, half of the worlds nations were British, Portugalian and Spanish colonies, but Russia is being imperialstic. Grow up kid.
@@Renegade_Commander yeah just because other nations are imperialist doesn’t mean Russia isn’t. In fact, it amplifies the imperialism we already see in the world. Pathetic how “anti-imperialists” can turn around and meatride the Russian war machine
@@Froogmeister war machine? those who don't have an army are getting crushed or enslaved. It's like a rule of nature. Like this partnership in EU and NATO. Everyone there just become a puppets to the strongest and richest, if you know what I mean...
@@Froogmeister Russia don't need to wage wars for resources like NATO does, they have enough of their own. Isn't it the very meaning of being an imperialist?
@@Renegade_Commander then why else would they be invading Ukraine if not for resources and power? Don’t give me the bs “de-nazification” or “freedom from NATO” arguments. Come up with something intelligent.
