Солдатушки (Soldatushki) -- Русский хор Йельского университета Yale Russian Chorus Alumni 60th

Yale Russian Chorus: Soldatushk'i (Soldier-boys), traditional, arranged by Denis Mickiewicz. A favorite marching song of the Russian Army from the 18th century. Service in the Russian Army lasted 25 years, and conscripts might not see their families for that whole period. “Hey, soldier-boys, brave lads, where are your mothers?“ “Our mothers are white tents! That's where our mothers are!“ Alumni of the Yale Russian Chorus 60th Anniversary Gala Concert, Woolsey Hall at Yale University, November 13, 2013. Denis Mickiewicz conducting.
