Hi, I am a convert to Orthodoxy in Fort Worth, TX. My church is in the Orthodox Church in America, a daughter church of the Russian Orthodox Church. I cannot express how grateful I am to have the Russian Orthodox traditions in my church. We sing this son at our panikhidas in both Russian and English. May God forgive me for my pride. Steve

When I was a boy,I loved this melody. As a teen I felt an obigation when singing it. As an adult I grew to feel the prayer. Now as I approach my older years and my close relatives pass on it still takes on another charcter of my soul.

The first time I ever heard this was in a Russian church. It was beautiful. the man standing next to me had a beautiful voice and so much passion. Thank you for this.

I thank God everyday that I am an Orthodox Christian

every one in this world is bound to one another, even if religion, skin, language or culture diferences, and this song reminds me that no one should fight one another...

Likewise, same with me also! This song nourishes and stills the unquiet grievances of the heart and soul and connects you to Christ our Savior!

I know that this motive is played in soviet version of War and Peace (directed by Sergie Bondarchuk) after the battle of Borodino. Its really wonderful and very moving. Thx for posting it.

I'm not part of this church, but even I wouldn't dare whisper whenever I hear this. So beautiful.....

The Orthodox Church is a truly beautiful and 100% faithful church. Our faith hasn't changed since the start. Thousands of years.

BEAUTIFUL SOUND!

Very solemn and dignified.

remembering moi adna lubov,(v maiom sierdtze tolka TI VNASIGDA),RESTING BELOW ZHELEZNOVODSK SKY.MY SOUL WITH HER FOREVER........................................

Simple, and beautiful . . . it is comforting to know that God does keep His own in His eternal memory, though ages roll and people pass away. Thank you, Vostorgina . . . I needed the reminder today.

Just two words... "Eternal Memory". That is all... that is all that is needful, isn't it? r. b. Vostorgina

Beautiful.

beautiful

Rest In Peace all Fallen in the Ukraine...God forgive all their souls...

Right here on You Tube look up Jaroff Don Cossack Choir's version of this hymn. It is beautiful sung by any choir but their is something special when it is sung by those who have been to war

copy: (it can make the stones weep). You are right. I'm orthodox and I have heard a good no. of times during Panichidias for deads in our church, and I agree totally with your words.

I believe this was used in "The Deer Hunter" at the end of the picture

Vechnaya Pamyat to all of the fallen Orthodox warriors who have died defending their homes and families in Donbass. Vechnaya Pamyat to all the innocent civilians killed there as well. May God grant true Orthodox Christians victory over all enemies.

God bless Russia, and God bless the Russian people -- a people of an immensely strong, yet quietly beautiful spirit.

SO SAY WE ALL!

MasterDevis, yes. I agree. The Russian's drew the Nazis deep into their territory, knowing that they in Russia would endure great losses (20 million) ...but, also knowing that the distance, the winter(s), and the resolve of the Russian people would eventually take a heavy toll on the invaders. After heroically breaking the Nazi hold on Leningrad and capturing the Nazi troops, the Russian Army marched the remaining 200,000 or so Nazi soldiers, on foot, back toward the western border. Only about 5,000 arrived there. Hitler obviously underestimated his foe. Thankfully, we in the USA are not now speaking German....which may have occurred had the Russian people not made such a sacrifice to decimate the Nazi forces who invaded.

I'm a roman catholic and I have to say, I want to convert ASAP!

Gospode,smiluj se dušama našim,svim palim za veru i slobodnu zemlju.....

@cripplehawk They were steelworkers of Russian background in the flick, after all, weren't they? It's a bookend to the wedding shown in the first scenes, no? r. b. Vostorgina

I play this on every October 6th, because on October 6th, 1963 was the escape from Vorkuta in CoD Black Ops. This is also the day the War Hero Viktor Reznov died fighting for freedom he well earned and deserved from his service, but never recieved due to mistrust and superstition. Cпасибо за вашу дружба, пухо мтоварищ.(Thank you for your friendship, rest in peace comrade.) "Every journey begins with a single step." -Viktor Reznov

I think so man i just want to know what the song is when they're on the mountain

But at Tolstoy's funeral when no prayers were said or icons displayed, this song was sung. Is this song usually sung at Orthodox funerals only, or for every Russian regardless?

does anyone know where i can find the sheet music for this?

Do svydania, tovarischi.....

This magnificent hymn does indeed make the stones weep. The Archangel with the sword reminds us of the resolve of Holy mother Russia in preventing the Naziis from acheving victory. Hitler made a big mistake in extending his army far into Russia. The Russian patriots would not yield....or give up. After the Nazi surrender, 195,000 were marched back to the western border. 5,000 arrived.

Посмотри вокруг,попутишествуй по миру как я,господь с Русскими людьми и не важно нравится это кому то или нет,вообще не важно:))

Yes they were, sons of Russian immigrants and very fitting.

May I say, "Amen?" Today is Forgiveness Sunday, is it not? To all of you, I ask a heartfelt "Prosti Menya!" (Forgive Me!) THAT is the heart of the Orthodoxy that beats in the Russian soul. It is not at all like the pride of the zapadnik. Let's all walk the path of the Lent to the Holy Easter on 4 April. r. b. Vostorgina

Are you saying that Православие is incompatible with Democracy and Capitalism? I thought it was a religion and not a doctine of how a country should be governed. Sure, you have the concept of соборность, but I believe even that comprises separate souls, individuals, who are or should be citizens. Democracy comprises citizens and their representations in organizations and parties. How could this possibly be un-Orthodox. Democracy is about rights. People who put freedom first are called criminals.

Slav gods? Hmmm? This is the attitude that caused the holy fathers and saints such as St Seraphim of Sarov to say that it is the Russian people turning their backs on Orthodoxy that will cause the hell they must endure and they did. Russians are not gods...it is God Himself who was gracious enough to give a HUGE part of His Holy Orthodox Church to Russia. Moscow is the 3rd Rome. But that does not make slavs gods.

I find it disturbing that one can claim to be Orthodox and say F another country... :(

God Bless Rasputin!
