“Alexandrov’s Song“ - Tribute to the Red Army Choir

In memory of the Alexandrov Ensemble (also known as Red Army Choir) who died in a plane crash on December 25th 2016. This song is from their last concert at the Bolshoi Theatre. The Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army was founded in 1928 as the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Red Army and later two times awarded with the Order of the Red Banner (1935, 1949?) and one time with the Order of the Red Star (1949?). During WW2 the Ensemble gave more than 1500 concerts on the Eastern Front.
