Dear friends,
I am from Viet Nam and had the first few years of my life when the Soviet Union was still there. I accidentally found this site and am really glad I found it as it brings back a lot of my good childhood memories.
I am actually looking for two songs and wish that you can help. The first one is "Song of the Motherland" (by Dunayevsky, signature tune of Radio Moskva). And the second one is "My address is the Soviet Union" (by Tukhmanov and Kharitonov).
Thank you very much again for this great collection!

Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful reply!
Too bad they dropped the Russian language program in Viet Nam when I entered primary school (the same year that the Berlin Wall went down) so now I cannot search Soviet songs in Russian.
I had always dreamed of studying in the USSR when I grew up but that dream never came true. I am now studying in North America. It is currently snowing outside, and I am listening to Soviet songs deluding myself that I were a foreign student in "Sovetsky Soyuz".
Should be, inexpressible feeling - to listen to "our" songs in the capitalist country to spite of all.

Dear comrade, thank you for your kind words about our Motherland the Soviet Union.
I had many Vietnamese friends in Moscow when I was a student. I would like to share with you my book about life in the USSR (in English). Please write to me: malenko@btinternet.com , and I will email it to you.
Warmest greetings to all friends of the USSR and the Soviet people across the globe.
Wow! A Vietnamese in the US tuning in to Soviet songs! Greetings to you! I am in the US as well, but this music is native to me, part of my genetic make-up if you will. This site is a way to connect to my Motherland. Being an immigrant is not easy for me...
Thank you very much for your warm responses!
I am studying in Canada (a somewhat more "socialist" country than the US). And as the population (in Viet Nam and Canada) gets younger and younger, talking about Soviet life and the USSR has become obsolete. So I am glad I found this forum. Mistakes and historical conditions did not allow the USSR to sustain itself, but I will always remember the help your country aid us in time of need.
I am actually looking for two more songs:
- The first has a title starting with "Б...". It is an old song, basically about a large group of Soviet soldiers marching. The song starts very softly as if the soldiers are faraway, then it gets louder and louder as the troops gets close, and the voice becomes smaller and smaller again as the soldiers move on. It's not "A hey, on the road/Гей, по дороге" (I already have this one), but a different song.
- The second song is "You are my melody/Ты моя мелодия". I found a very nice version on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZtt6ssiPOQ), but a friend of mine said this is not the full version. Do you know any longer version than this?
Thank you very much!!!

Thank you Товарищ С.!
But it's not a "ballad of" something. I actually want this song for my friend's father who studied in Leningrad in the 1960s and 1980s. He said its title only has a single word, which means "let's go" or "on the way" or something like that. Maybe I should ask him to write that word for me and ask you guys next time.

I am looking for one more song. Its name is "Песня о тревожной молодости" (Song of the high-spirited youth?). There are four versions of this song on this website, but their links are all broken. Could somebody please fix this or let me know where else I can download this song?
Thank you very much!

As I said earlier, on top of my favourite Soviet songs, I also look for songs for my friend's father. My very limited Russian prevents me from reading his request properly.
Could somebody help me find the last two songs in this list?

I already found "В путь" thanks to your help and "Русское поле", but not the bottom two songs (because I can't read his writing very well).
50th anniversay of Valentina Tereshkova's flight to outer space Author:

Fifty years ago, mankind witnessed the first woman, also the first civilian, flew to outer space. I am just wondering whether there were any Soviet songs inspired by this spectacular event.
Hello everyone,
I was watching the video of the parade dedicated to the 72nd anniversary of the 1941 Battle of Moskva (I admitted that I'd like to think I was watching the 96th anniversary of the October Revolution).
I found a very touching moment when everyone starting singing one song at 19:40. Could anyone here please let me know the name of the song (in Russian)?
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIl4OVVqZ88
Many thanks!
I also want to ask everyone here about two songs in the 1980 film "Moskva does not believe in tears" (Москва слезам не верит). They are "Aleksandra" (Александра) and "A conversation by the new year's tree" (Диалог у новогодней елки).
Could Tovarish S. or somebody please help me to find the lyrics of these two songs? I'd like to know what they're about.
