It is a genuine barge-haulers' shanty. The song, also called The Volga Burlak's Song, was inspired by Repin's famous painting, Burlaks on the Volga, depicting the suffering of the people in the depth of misery in Tsarist Russia. The song was popularised by Feodor Chaliapin, and has been a favourite concert piece of bass singers ever since. Glenn Miller took the song to #1 in the US charts in 1941.Soviet, Red, Army, Choir, Красная, Армия, Russia, USSRRussian Red Army Choir - Song of the Volga Boatmen (1965)http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/XpVu6Pf5GCw2007-02-07T06:12:58.000Z2012-05-27T02:48:18.000ZHelmut Lotti El UkhnemFrom the "From Russia with Love" DVDesi863http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/esi863MusicFrom the "From Russia with Love" DVD
