The stirring USSR WW2 anthem set to a great edit by a YouTube User.
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 Alexander de Bode in 1916 during the World War I[1] and slightly modified 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 Red Army Choir 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 called "Der Heilige Krieg" and the Hungarian version is titled "Fel, küzdelemre, hõs haza."
