The Sacred War (Священная война - Svyaschennaya voina) is an inspirational song famously performed by the Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov. Red Army Choir that motivated millions of Soviet soldiers to surge forward in the titanic struggle against the German Wehrmacht and satellite armies during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).
This clip is taken from the 1985 Soviet movie “Битва за Москву” (Bitva za Moskvu,).
"Only man marvels at his own existence, he thinks about it. This is his main difference from other creatures, the ones that are still in paradise, unaware of themselves. People differ from each other with the degree, the measure of their surprise."
