[Cz-L] Song of the Homeland.

In 1936 the Soviets made a propaganda film "Circus".
In it the heroine sang the "Song of the Homeland," better known as
 "Shiroka strana moya rodnaya " or in short "Shiroka".
  The actress was the top Soviet actress Orlova and the song writer was
Dunayevsky ( Donauer) who together with Lebedev (lirycs) wrote almost
 all top Soviet hits.
  The song was so catching and popular that at a time it was an unofficial
  soviet anthem.
   Here it is, original version:

 and the war propaganda release:

The words are simple and after singing it many times
  you also started believing what you sang:

" Spacious is my native land,
   It has many woods ,fields and rivers,
    I dont know any other land,
     Where a man can breath so freely ."

    This we sang almost daily marching the streets.
   We were pioneers.
