March of the Soviet Tankists (WW2):

Броня крепка, и танки наши быстры,
И наши люди мужества полны:
В строю стоят советские танкисты -
Своей великой Родины сыны.

Припев:

Гремя огнем, сверкая блеском стали
Пойдут машины в яростный поход,
Когда нас в бой пошлет товарищ Сталин
И Ворошилов в бой нас поведет!

Заводов труд и труд колхозных пашен
Мы защититм, страну свою храня,
Ударной силой орудийных башен
И быстротой, и натиском огня.

Припев.

Пусть помнит враг, укрывшийся в засаде
Мы на чеку, мы за врагом следим.
Чужой земли мы не хотим ни пяди,
Но и своей вершка не отдадим.

Припев.

А если к нам полезет враг матерый,
Он будет бит повсюду и везде!
Тогда нажмут водители стартеры
И по лесам, по сопкам, по воде....

Припев:

Гремя огнем, сверкая блеском стали
Пойдут машины в яростный поход,
Когда нас в бой пошлет товарищ Сталин
И Ворошилов в бой нас поведет!

Carl,

interesting website! I listened to some music

Carl,

but I looked a bit closer into this website. It is made by some communists-Stalinists. It contains tones of songs about Stalin!

Jaga, it is impossible to have a collection of Soviet WWII songs without mentioning Stalin.

In fact, a couple of years ago, a monument to the war was opened in Moscow containing an image of Stalin.

Non-Stalinist song:

My address - Soviet Union

Колеса диктует вагонные
Где срочно увидеться нам.
Мои номера телефонные
Разбросаны по городам.

Припев:
Заводится сердце, сердце волнуется,
Почтовый пакуется груз.
Мой адрес не дом и не улица -
Мой адрес - Советский Союз.

Вы точки-тире телеграфные
Ищите на стройках меня.
Сегодня не личное-главное
А сводки рабочего дня.

Припев.

Я там где ребята толковые,
Я там, где плакаты "Вперед!"
Где песни рабочие, новые
Страна трудовая поет.

Припев:
Заводится сердце, сердце волнуется,
Почтовый пакуется груз.
Мой адрес не дом и не улица -
Мой адрес - Советский Союз.
1978

Eric,

this is no good. Stalin was a criminal. There were also nice songs which Nazi sung in Germany - but somehow nobody thinks about building a monument to Hitler.

Carl, excellent choice! "My address is the Soviet Union" was an extremely popular song when it came out in the 1970s, and even today, many people still like it. The group "Samotsveti" still sings it whenever they appear on TV - it's probably their most popular song.

Like him, hate him, the fact remains that he was the leader of the USSR during WWII. But the reason why Stalin is still visible, and yet Hitler isn't - Germany was not only the aggressor, but also lost.

The Soviet Union certainly deserves respect for its triumph in the war, which cost the USSR dearly in terms of life, economy, industry, etc. It took decades to rebuild.

Eric,

you are right of course that Germany lost and Soviet Union won. Besides, Stalin strenghtened the empiral position of Soviet Union - but in the expense of many lives.
He was a criminal, there is no doubt about it - but he was a lucky one.

Jaga, USA helped Stalin. Carl

The USA was helping Stalin and Soviet Union militarly during the war but nobody was completely aware of what he was doing
