Story:
The regiment commander is a Russian infantry general, intelligence officer and researcher Lavr Kornilov. The Kornilov shock regiment is the first and most famous regiment of the Volunteer Army. He took part in all the main battles of the Russian army and was considered one of the best colored regiments. Distinctive features - a black uniform, a red-black flag, a cap and shoulder straps. The battle song-march was composed in 1918 by ensign Alexander Krivosheev. There are many variants of the text, including more republican ones, since most of the Kornilovites were not monarchists and wished to see Russia as a democratic and republican power.
Lyrics:
Let there be one mockery around
Slander and oppression -
The contempt of the mob will not kill us, Kornilovites.
Forward! To the fight! Forward! To the fight!
To battle, bloody battle!
Rus' will understand who is her traitor,
What is her illness?
And that in Bykhov there was not a prisoner, but a faithful friend.
Forward! To the fight! Forward! To the fight!
To battle, bloody battle!
For Russia and freedom,
If we are called to battle,
Then the Kornilovites will go through both fire and water.
Forward! To the fight! Forward! To the fight!
To battle, bloody battle!
We believe: the end to the enemy's spell is near.
The blindfold will fall from Russia's eyes - yes!
Forward! To the fight! Forward! To the fight!
To battle, bloody battle!
Ancient Moscow will ring with bells,
And Russian troops will enter it in ranks!
Forward! To the fight! Forward! To the fight!
To battle, bloody battle!
