5:06 am
these shots of the first victory parade are known to everyone today; it took place on june 24, 1945. two films, black-and-white and color, filmed on german film and edited in berlin showed such opportunities in cinemas until the next parade dedicated to the victory of the soviet union over nazi germany passed only 20 years later, in 1965, on may 9, on the day that from now on became known as the victory day, the day became non-working, and a universal holiday in 1970, it was expected that there would be another parade on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the victory, but it was not traditionally demonstrated military power on november 7 and that was enough. true that year, moscow distinguished itself on may 9 with traffic lights throughout the city. at the same time, they turned red
5:07 am
. a minute in honor of the memory of the fallen, a symbolic moment of silence. it is a pity that this did not become a tradition after another 5 years on the thirtieth anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war, again a military parade was expected, but this time it was decided to limit a mass demonstration on red square in the morning and a festive blue light on tv in the evening , and yet 1975 became unusual in the history of the celebration of the great victory. it was that year that a song was written and for the first time sounded, without which today it is impossible to imagine this holiday. especially since it's called. now, just like the victory day song, this song is performed dishonestly,
5:08 am
it was written for the victory day in the great patriotic war and it is quite logical that it sounds on may 9th. but it sounds everywhere on radio and television in concerts at parades and demonstrations in schools at ceremonial lines and at home at a festive dinner, young veterans march to it and old veterans cry, you know. uh, i've said the song a lot of times. although, they replicate it and sing only in it during the holidays. and those holidays that are dedicated to this great date are generally the time, uh, that we lived through these events years ago. they seemed to push apart the general idea of the framework of time. and despite the fact that this is really a huge time. and all this
5:09 am
so alive in the people and so heightened feelings, when we talk about the people who conquered the world and brought us freedom in 1975, in honor of the anniversary of the victory, the jubilee medal was established. it was awarded to absolutely everyone who took part in the hostilities. and also the partisans, members of the underground and home front workers, did not forget anyone. 14 million 259.560 people received these commemorative medals. for many, they became the first and only award for the war to veterans. that year it was a little over 50, they put on orders and went out into the street episodic people. they wore an ordinate. there, let's say an episode. and then all of moscow came out to the square with all the medals, in general, all the young and still
5:10 am
beautiful was some kind of folk uplift in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war, monuments were opened. and memorial plaques were laid, parties were held, rallies and demonstrations were issued postage stamps and commemorative coins, the need for a new special song for this date did not cause anyone doubts, the union of composers announced a competition for writing such a song by one of those who the poet, vladimir kharitonov, responded. and now many veterans already believe that it was written sometime in forty, the fourth forty-fifth year by one of them. at least their peers. actually, they were not mistaken, because vladimir gavrilovich speaks tones. the author of the poems was veteranov was just one of those fifty-year-old veterans who gladly put on commemorative medals of military awards, he did not have during the war. vladimir kharitonov served in
5:11 am
the infantry platoon and diving units was wounded at the front, he began to write poetry and send them to the newspaper vechernyaya moskva. in 1975, he was already an honored worker of arts, and new generations of soldiers called up for military service marched to his songs. excellent badges that laugh on the chest and the power of the girls will pass the rains of the soldiers will return and just wait kharitonov was a famous poet with experience. i think that as a talented person. he had to decide so, oh, the ethical basis had to be backed up. uh,
5:12 am
something that is very modern there. this yesterday is naphthalene to the song uh uh, born in seventy-fifth for a decade. she went there as a very modern one. well, that is, at least for that, for 30 to 25 years, he could, and vladimir kharitonov decided to think that way. to a young composer who will write music with a perspective of 25-30 years and chose david tukhmanov, actually. i've never been torn. uh, to celebrate such big dates with some works, well, in part, because i still worked. still, more this can be said to be a lightweight genre, and secondly, it still belonged to a younger generation of authors and it did not turn out that my older
5:13 am
colleagues would somehow cope with it better. here with such states orders. and yet, david tukhmanov took up writing music in a few days, the song was ready on may 9, 1975. it was first aired in the festive edition of the blue light, it was performed by leonid smetannikov, an opera singer laureate of international competitions. and her wonderful singer sour cream, a wonderful singer and artist, sang a wonderful song
5:14 am
went didn’t go, they forgot literally tomorrow after the light this is the premiere, not remembered by viewers in the seventy-fifth, not the strangest moment in the history of the song, the events around the song victory day before and after this blue light seem even more incredible. at least the fact that in the competition for the best song in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the victory. she got no place, of course, assumed. what is the fate of this work. it's never really imaginable. uh, but the main thing is that we did not suspect how we make a fatal mistake in choosing hurry to this competition, almost managed to the last audition. and here it broke out. well, almost standalone members of the high commission song did not accept them. of course, one can regret about 900 pieces of music were sent to the competition
5:15 am
. maybe that's why the decision no one tried to justify the argument against was one song does not fit the important occasion for which it should be written. in general, the wrong song was said that it was somehow not made the way it should be. i don't know, i don't know the right way. but in general, this was the opinion. everything would be fine if this opinion had not spread in the editorial office or on the radio in order to assess the whole tragedy of the situation. one must understand the degree of omnipotence, radio and television. especially in those years when there was no censorship. an essential part of the cultural life of the country, the admission to the air gave the green light, if the song was not heard on the radio, then the song never
5:16 am
happened after the failures in the competition, presses tukhmanov sure that the song was still a success, tried to promote it on the artistic council of the musical edition of the all-union radio. moreover, one of the members of this council was vladimir kharitonov. you didn’t understand before him, we didn’t put such a concept into this. victory day is also kharitonov, and when he wrote each of his lines, that’s all in this song, these were his days . he was a very humble person. a very humble person. he himself went to this course of the council, at which the song was rejected by what he experienced - that we can only assume today himself represented the song. this was the way the composer sat down at the piano tukhmanov accompanied himself and sang hmm
5:17 am
absolutely amazing melodists and a person who very clearly feels drowsiness. eh, verse i can say that. uh, because i managed a few of his amazing songs, each of them it accurately expresses the dramaturgy of the word that day in 1975 that. not only did he not convince the members of the artistic council that the song victory day had the right to exist, but he also received such marks that it would seem that they should have closed the road forever, in short, all one of our songs was crossed out great composers said clearly. i will put down my park ticket if this song is played at least once on the air for the front-line soldier kharitonov, it was a real slap in the face. for the 35-year-old tukhmanov, another challenge. to fight, many of his songs hardly made their way to the listener through the censored jungle song victory day. in this sense, it was no
5:18 am
exception. although the main battles. around tukhmanov's songs, they played out a little later in the seventy-sixth and lasted right up to the mid- eighties tukhmanov this is the epoch is a big epoch in our song. this person is so talented. he has one problem. he is ahead of his time. he is always ahead of his time. i apologize for the tautology. here it is according to the wave of my memory. so i said and i understand that in front of the tv, many people, generally admiring, did not splatter their eyes and it doesn’t matter how old they are. yes, he opened for us, uh, these elements, taught by the bitter experience of the victory day song, david tukhmanov at the same notorious artistic council in the seventy-sixth year, played his songs from the cycle on the waves of my memory, as a work of classical music and only then he changed the rhythm, one of the typical reproaches was
5:19 am
the reproach of gypsyism. now it would occur to anyone to use this. and why gypsyism is bad, now no one even understands. but while it was such a stamp, critical because the reaction was such that if there is an opinion that gypsyism, then you understand something like a tavern. these were the times, maybe a generational change took place, but more elderly ones took place. ah, composers. they were such a planetary warehouse people who grew up the era known to us and to say an extra word on the tour. hmm, too. you know, 100 times think the change of generations took place anywhere, but not in the leadership of the hospital for the sake of songs that live on the stage, for 20-30 years once appeared on the
5:20 am
air only thanks to the courage of young editors. for each song tokmanu. i got a contract for each now it's a wild attraction. land reprimand i you he she together the whole country it would seem a reprimand, but back to the beginning of the seventy-fifth threat of one of the leaders the union of composers put their port ticket on the table for the people of that time completely, a certain hidden meaning in no way connected with either the park ticket or the table. this expression was a complete synonym for the saying. only over my dead body when the person says those words. he is not going to die when a person staked his park ticket, he did not announce his readiness to leave the ranks of the cpsu for the song victory day, these words only mean that it will never be aired. suddenly, unexpectedly, someone from the leadership. well
5:21 am
that we will quarrel with our mastodons with a secret, come on. we will remove this song altogether. after she sounded on the blue light on may 9, it was the first broadcast, but not the very first performance on the eve of may 8, she sounded in a concert program prepared for the anniversary of the victory by the twice red banner alexandrov song and dance ensemble soloed by eduard labkovsky. after
5:22 am
all the composers, going by eye, this song was rejected not because it was bad, but because it was written artistically the head of the ensemble and the legendary author of the song the holy war, alexander alexandrovna of the belorussky station, when the soldier, who was leaving for the front , was first listened to this song necessary for the victory day song to sound during the victorious
5:23 am
rehearsals. he began to perform it like a march, and it turned into a hit of the seventy-fifth year. yes, march. uh, the victorious marshal of 1945. i think that this uh trick and this uh secret. why was the song rejected and why did the song become popular? in such a marching rhythm, this song is known today to no one, it would not occur to anyone to dance the
5:24 am
foxtrot to it or where the musical flair of boris alexandrov saved the song. psychophysical state, because therefore, probably, the song is remembered from the first or second or third time exactly the words. no need to learn the words of the song, they were really remembered quickly and many rehearsals were not required, but not this, the main thing is the verses of vladimir kharitonov could not leave anyone indifferent and alexandrov was not the 27-year-old lobkovsky soloist, to whom he was destined to become the first performer of the famous hymn to the great victory i just heard hello mom come back. tilis, we are not all. i have frost on my skin i think, my god, what an amazing element. here i am
5:25 am
performed this song, well, with a full understanding of this feeling. uh, victory somehow with tears in his eyes is a holiday. that's why i'm happy that this song just got to me, because i'm the first or the last. what is it in the end? eh, the public will decide. uh, who can be the best? we didn’t all return barefoot and the wolves rushed to run the piglets, they didn’t bring half the earth closer to this day, how could the success of the performance with the song victory day of the red banner song and dance ensemble in the spring of seventy-five turned out to be short-lived 8 may in moscow in the hall of tchaikovsky the audience applauded, and in other cities. where did the band go on tour? the new song did not cause any emotions alexandrov decided to remove it from the repertoire. suddenly, victory day sounded on the
5:26 am
radio beans, a weekly program that my colleagues were doing, i only then came, and now i heard all these programs at home according to the program at my own peril and risk, the editor turned on the song victory day performed by eduard labkovsky and the only choir broadcast, yes. effect active rotation speaking, today's language of the radio pros the next day in the concert, this song was already asked for encore and suddenly the hall blew up. i just didn't even understand why i'm not worse or better. i managed than yesterday, it turns out. uh, this song was broadcast on the broadcast of dorami beans and the song was already on the ears of people. and after that, whenever i performed, she had a huge, huge success in serious disputes, especially litigation, and there was never a championship in the performance of the victory day song between the singers. especially between those first, in the repertoire,
5:27 am
which she entered the seventy-fifth labkovsky smetannikov and leshchenko perhaps, because each of them knew that they could not claim to be the discoverer of the most popular song about victory, at the beginning the wife recorded uh secrets from school. uh, david is crazy she really wanted to sing this song, because she understood that it was a great song, but at least the council categorically rejected this version and the future on the radio as a full-time soloist. somehow, um, while in estonia alone, i met the editor of a radio station. yes. chief editor's wife wide, who came up to me with such islam said lyova, you know, here, uh, it seems to me that adik is satisfying, as we said then, there is a completely amazing song from now on, the story of the victory day song can be told with the
5:28 am
accuracy of a military chronicle. lev leshchenko phoned tukhmanov and took notes and lyrics from him. the next day he went on tour to kazakhstan with the orchestra. george granyanyan, the musician needed 2 more days to make an arrangement. and lev leshchenko to learn the text, what happened next? what lev valeryanovich himself will say, i remember in the month of april, alma-ata, when i go out for the first time, uh, to bake this song and i see absolutely, uh, some incredible. mm, incredible reception. this is not delight, this is some kind of human stupor. uh, tears, then a storm. the applause all this somehow merged into one, and i realized that just such an epoch-making song was born on the same evening. i called radik
5:29 am
tukhmanov and told him to play. you know i sang a song. you have no idea what a welcome, i love you i beg you, leave her, as if lev leshchenko would be late for me with his request. leonid smetannikov. already recorded the song in march, for the blue light of may, eduard lobkovsky was just rehearsing with the kihor orchestra for the bean program. boris alexander rov experimented with rhythm on the table to rehearse all day of victory. the way it was written. choir just began to scoff at the king, la-la night, just know, here they looked at me silently. you dragged again into your staged. and alexandrov he says that listen to lazar this our drummer was to convince these syncopes and play. it's just march, there the song has changed, the holidays are over and the song is not like mars or in the rhythm of a foxtrot. nowhere else did there sound a chance that
5:30 am
in a year they would remember this song. when they celebrate the next thirty-first anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war, there was no one who did not reconcile with this was to crush tukhmanov next story. it is best to hear from his lips. i'm honestly embarrassed to tell one story, but i swear i the story was never told to anyone except. friends, just me and my wife. we were also very worried and could not understand what we could do with our own words. you know the vast territory of vdnkh where
5:31 am
all kinds of music, songs and so on are heard from the horns, and we found some kind of m-th person like that, well, maybe not even completely sober, uh, who were sitting in the radio center came to him and asked. well, naturally, not for free. uh, so that he scrolls this record at least several times, so that the people who walk there walk, all the same, i heard what kind of a certain way a person was in the radio room of an exhibition of achievements of the national economy. i managed to persuade, a military day off. song victory day. performed by tatyana, soshko sounded several times for the walking and buying moscow public, how far was it from us, like a fortress? burnt dust did not bring this day
5:32 am
closer, as they could this day of victory. probably this is exactly the case when people did not immediately, maybe the work we did not need to observe or fix any reaction there unauthorized local airplay may have been the last public performance of the song. even desperate tukhmanov was ready to put up with it in the field, there was only one warrior lev leshchenko left, he was impressed by the reaction of the audience in almaty that he decided to use the very first opportunity to have the song sounded on the air again such an opportunity presented itself only after 5 months, preparations began for concert dedicated to the day of police of the cheloks. nikolay, they are still busy. in order to raise the authority of the police, therefore, on a holiday the day the police worked. the first radio station, the second
5:33 am
radio station first channel second all broadcast the day, where everyone broadcast the day of the police and at rehearsals. i was closing the concert and at the rehearsal the following thought occurred to me now victory day the thought is enough, there was always increased attention to risky people for this concert and the simple well-known rule of initiative could be punished, and in this case the initiative could cost a career, no more no less right away and forever without explanation, i'm a man who for 10 years i spent a-a concerts dedicated to the day of the police already in the new russia, i know, but as if the trend of organizing an approach to the end is dedicated to the police, i found the period when the head of the main directorate was the deputy minister. he oversaw each song, the repertoire of words and other
5:34 am
things from a long time ago, then the chief of police of the internal troops department of the ussr ministry of internal affairs, who oversaw each song. on the way to rehearsal. and i see an absolutely amazing reaction that chubanov called me to himself , then he watched the concert and said, uh, a very good song. ah. here we will be to her. i say the fact is that this song is, as it were, secretly closed. and so, uh, it's just that the editorial office might be in trouble. he says. what edition what kind of trouble this song will close the concerts all the song victory day ended the concert on november 10, 1975, lev leshchenko performed it twice
5:35 am
as an encore live broadcast completed the success events, those who did not yet have a tv listened to a concert on the radio not because in the seventy-fifth year everyone loved the police. it's just that the best most popular artists took part in these concerts for lev leshchenko's fans. it was a fine hour. the song victory day made a splash. not a very difficult battle fought this day, we brought it as close as we could. well, i probably know this a little monogamous, maybe , that's how i absorbed something and then i measure it. all other performances are comparing with the performance of leshchenko boulevard, he also completed military service and passed. he himself, damn it, a powerful strong ensemble of the hand of the soviet troops
5:36 am
in germany in the course of concert activities. met with war veterans and so on. here he just felt, probably felt, he expressed it most clearly. maybe, of course, i am subjective, but it seems to me that he sat down harder lev leshchenko was born in the most terrible war year of 1942 at 43, his mother died, his father, who went through the entire finnish war, signed up. i wanted to reach germany, but i didn’t get to the front, dad, uh, didn’t called to the front, and he was called to the special troops, and he began to serve, uh, in the nkvd, uh, at home, i never saw him, because uh, it was endless trips or escorts or uh, so, uh, some kind of investigation a lot he er, in general spent time at the front quite a lot.
5:37 am
eh, i've had it almost for these 4 years there. i saw him maybe 3-4 times. he came home , appeared at night, woke me up. uh, at night at 12:00 they talked at one o'clock. dad came to germany true , lev leshchenko himself reached the no longer at war in 1961, when he went to serve in the army, he served in the gsvg group of soviet troops in germany, the first karta gave on the stage at the officers' houses near berlin and recalled the stories of his father's colleagues, neighbors and acquaintances, about the recent war. i grew up among people who, uh, fought and who, uh, in general, these were connected with their own, so in me, and this is the mood, but a military man. in general, it has been sitting in me since childhood, of course, it seemed to have grown into me
5:38 am
, and it took root and strengthened in me, so it was not difficult for me to bake military songs performance on november 10, 1975, leshchenko was watched, probably in all military units of the soviet army . vladimir berezin ended up on the border of mongolia that day. i then served. i was just drafted into the army and defended the borders of our country and the borders of the commonwealth of the socialist state in mongolia, it's fucking terribly cold. we are sitting in the lenin room, watching this concert of neurotic people, we heard this song. i remember this really literally right after the concert dedicated to the day of the police. the selection for the song contest 75 has begun. now it was no longer the authors who were in a hurry to audition, but people from all over the country wrote letters to the editorial office of the radio station with a request to include the song victory day in the final of the competition, the song of the year was chosen in the concert
5:39 am
studio. ostankino script. i was therefore. i know this through myself, then everything was very honest, special schoolchildren from a neighboring school came. ostankino they sat down and each took a letter from the bag. and they put a check mark there on victory day, and then they thought it was such a stupid job, but the guys did it here pleasure and victory day with a large margin came out for the first month. we grabbed not all barefoot to quickly run through the section of europe walked. god came true this day brought closer, how could victory day became the song of the year 1975, which was unexpected on the one hand, since it sounded little and was not so famous, but on the other hand. the first place was justified by
5:40 am
the anniversary year, which was all marked by the celebration of the anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war, another surprise song victory day . presented in the next seventy-sixth year of the festival, a song can become a winner once a year, and that's it, and on this everything goes on and on other songs begin new year's seventy-sixth year of the song five locality. well, then the fate of the song every year. she gained some height, some new heights - this song began to gain abroad. first, i heard in the countries of the social commonwealth that, along with the ussr, celebrated victory day in
5:41 am
poland, hungary, czechoslovakia, bulgaria, romania, laid wreaths at the eternal flame and monuments that fell in the fight against the fascist invaders in soviet embassies, always arranged big receptions. i saw when our embassy invites foreigners on victory day. and it seems to me that in all the embassies, when the victory day sounds, here i am watching. everyone turns, as if to the side. so to speak , the central figures in the direction of ours went on , little by little, so the foreigners and the music. inserts to behave in a proper manner respectful to our country to our victory, the inhabitants of the gdr of the german democratic republic until recently, laid wreaths and flowers to
5:42 am
monument to the soviet soldier vretto in the park twice on may 8 on liberation day. how did they call their holiday and may 9, victory day when official delegations arrived in berlin and russian songs sounded in 1976. the repertoire for the first time included the song victory day, even here in germany they drank it the most. yes it would seem to a convinced country, they still perceived it with enthusiasm. i was afraid i even thought it was pleasant to hear that they were defeated pleasantly or unpleasantly, but it was precisely aleksandrovtsev in august 1948. they staged a concert in the open. dark sky on one of the central squares of the city where about 35,000 berliners gathered. fili eh road nightingales in the forest near the frontline kalinka was the crown number of the program and after 30 years the concerts began to complete the
5:43 am
songs victory day, probably, just the appearance of this song victory day well, somehow strengthened the paphos of this victory betrayed the majestic, probably, the meaning of this victory and the majestic the meaning of the victory on may 9 , 1945, the commander in chief himself worried stalin is not enough today. who remembers that the act of surrender of germany was signed not on may 9, but on may 7 in the city of reims in the school building where the headquarters of general eisenhower from the soviet union was located, this act was signed by many general ivan must parkov modest ceremony in reims. it did not correspond to the scale of the just ended war. the soviet government insisted that the capitulation be signed again before representatives of the supreme high command. it seems to be natural
5:44 am
naturally, because the war. and the victory is such a grandiose large-scale event that we still saw this war piece by piece. yes, stalin knew, there zhukov, as it were, all its scale, and everyone else saw it in pieces, another couple of decades passed, and the song victory day reached america ; the experience of performing military songs in english, it concerns the song, do the russians want war? no, they ordered to sing. uh, do the russians want wars in america here in english so that you can understand google in english no particles and get the russians want wars
5:45 am
ask for silence. no, full of me, i ask you and one american comes up to me and says edward i understand russian a little, please tell me, mother, e or wife, chief of the general staff. i say why well because you say ask my mom ask my wife. this is the same with my wife, they decide they want russians. thank you, why then do the russians want to sing like that war ask his matter ask, already others are mine. they seem to have to decide these very they that the chiefs of staff will ask me not to sing such paradoxes, because you know, and success and
5:46 am
did not have in america victory day such a capacious text that its translation into each line into a foreign language will take. and even more, for example, how to explain why gunpowder necessarily smells in russia during the day, the meaning of the line, in which eight words describe the work of an entire people behind enemy lines during the war, will have to be revealed at special lectures in her night. our motherland did not close its eyes at the open-hearth furnaces, by the way, in the first version of the song, these words were not there at all, as well as the entire second verse. vladimir kharitonov wrote it on the recommendation of someone from cska kharitonov showed it. this is a poem for someone. maybe the sports authorities or the culture of the central committee of the party. i don’t know, well, i must add something valuable.
5:47 am
our homeland could not, it must be said, that it should be so briefly and so succinctly expressed as this idea. this could only be done by a very talented poet who truly owns, and poetry vladimir kharitonov wrote a total of about a thousand songs, some of his lines really became aphorisms for fifteen songs, the music was composed by david tukhmanov, including the one that became a kind of marvelous time. about tukhmanov's songs. this is common knowledge. for me, even my address is not that we are not a street to the address of the soviet union , this is music already colossally patriotic patriotic melody she was smart talented
5:48 am
took the soul song uh got her status took her place certain it was already impossible no means to survive it, so to speak, from the repertoire of the life of the people from e. hmm musical culture. mm, 35 years have passed since the writing of this song 65 years since the victory, despite this, of course, hmm, the song sounds so fresh, as if it was written on this very day , on today's holiday, patriotism is a feeling that no one has raised doubts in the conditions, as they say in military squalor, but this concept begins to spread in peaceful days, when there is no fear and there is no enemy, so as not to lose landmarks, probably, it is worth listening to good military ones more often. songs and victory day, which veterans call the last honest song of the soviet
