"The Sacred War" ((ロシア語:Священная война) ''Svyashchennaya Voyna'', also known as ''Vstavaj, strana ogromnaja'', "Arise, Great (Vast) Country!") was one of the most famous Soviet songs associated with the Second World War. The music is by Aleksandr Aleksandrov, founder of the Alexandrov Ensemble and the music composer for the National Anthem of the Soviet Union. The lyrics are by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. The circumstances of the composition and first performance of the song were hurried; the lyrics were published on 24 June 1941, and Aleksandrov immediately wrote the music for them, writing the notes out on a blackboard for the singers to copy manually. The first performance was on 26 June at Belorussky Rail Terminal, where according to eyewitnesses it was sung five times in succession.〔В. Олару. Стихотворение в газете Независимая Молдова, 21 июня 2001 ()〕 There are a number of foreign-language adaptations of this song, among them the German version ''Der Heilige Krieg'' (written by Stephan Hermlin) and the Hungarian version ''Fel, küzdelemre, hõs haza''. In the 1990s Russian media published the allegation that the lyrics had been plagiarized by Lebedev-Kumach, and that they were indeed written during the First World War by Aleksandr Bode ((ロシア語:Александр Адольфович Боде), 1865–1939). These claims were taken to court, and the newspaper ''Nezavisimaya Gazeta'' in June 2000 was forced to publish a retraction of the claim.〔(Опровержение ) Независимая газета, 5 июля 2000; A. Barinov, (Бард сталинской эпохи. 105 лет со дня рождения Василия Лебедева-Кумача ), «АиФ Долгожитель» № 15 (27), 8 August 2003.〕 Prof. Evgeniy Levashev (2000) still upheld doubts on the authorship, and on the reasonableness of the court's decision.〔Е.

Лихачёва. — М.: Институт Наследия, 2001, 305–330. ((online version )).〕 The song has been used during the march of the color guard in Victory Day parades in both the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, such as the 2010 Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9, 2010. ==Lyrics== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sacred War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
