Other kids: "don't tell mom I started smoking" Russian men: "don't tell my mom I'm in Chechnya"

Who doesn't understand : Black Tulip is the name of the aircraft that delivers the bodies of dead soldiers to their homeland

Great grand father - Don’t tell mom I’m in Berlin Grandfather - Don’t tell mom I’m in Afghanistan Father - Don’t tell mom I’m in Chechnya Son - Don’t tell mom I’m in bahkmuhd

Grandfather - Just don't tell mom I'm in Afghan Father - Just don't tell mom I'm in Chechnya Son - Just don't tell mom i'm in Ukraine

"But for some reason I haven't been getting letters from home" Feeling forgotten is something that can hit soldiers serving away from home really hard

My dad was in the Chechen war after he graduated school, he said he thought it would be a adventure and for glory, but he didnt find that instead he found out the horrors of war, just like how he said my uncle also felt when he left to Afghanistan in 1979, Now my dad moved to Germany and found a wife than thats when I was born, we're living happy in Germany, but my dad sometimes sings this song under his breath

1915: just dont tell mom Im in Brest 1945: just dont tell mom Im in Berlin 1979: just dont tell mom Im in Afghan 1996: just dont tell mom Im in Chechnya 2023: just dont tell mom Im in Bakhmut

It's nice to go down in the comments to see that ordinary Americans and not only express support for ordinary Russian people, thank you. The Russians don't hate their western neighbors, we want peace. Only politicians start a war, and civilians suffer because of it. Thank you again, peace and good to you) ( I'm from Russia)

Even as a person who doesn't understand Russian it sounds like an extremely good song. The song itself gives the same feeling as anti-Vietnam War songs.

Пустил мужскую слезу с этой песни, мы вас не забудем, славные ребята воевавшие в Чечне.

Such a beautiful song. It doesn’t matter what side you align with, this song is haunting

crazy how different a life on earth can be , some die in a war , some never see war

I am from Spain. In the first Chechnya war I was 5 years old. My parents signed up for the refugee program of the Red Cross to help kids that had been relocated from the conflict. We adopted a Chechnyan girl called Djamila. Her father had died while driving his car, stepped over a mine. Her mom had more kids and couldn't feed them all. She called us once, a Red Cross worker translated her to English. She asked us to adopt Djamila permanently, but my mom said that it was not possible, Djamila stayed with us for around 3-5 months, I don't recall. She was 10 years old in 1996. When she left her mom called us again for hosting her during the second Chechnya war, but my parents were not together anymore, both of them worked abroad and I even hardly saw them, so we couldn't take her back. Djamila, if you read this, I hope you are well, we still remember you. I'm Juan, the kid you shared room while being in Spain, I still remember you loved to eat tomatoes and cherimoya.

До слез обидно, что сейчас многие забыли тех, кто воевал в 1 и 2 Чеченскую. Моя работа иногда сводит меня с ветеранами боевых действий в Чечне. Всегда жму руку и говорю спасибо за этот подвиг. Даже случай был, что взрослый матерый мужик, который сейчас в отпуске по ранению с СВО просто обнял меня и заплакал, что хоть кто-то помнит подвиг этих людей. Если кто-то из ветеранов это читает - огромное Вам уважение и спасибо! Народ помнит о Вас и гордится!

👇come here because of the Russian guy in Bakhmut

That line about not getting the letters from home breaks me up every time. When your in a terrible place a letter from someone you love can save you.

So just "Don't Tell Mom I'm In Afghan." But Chechnya

Seeing that soldier with pimples really hit me hard. It’s like the saying from the Vietnam War(that America fought) “Too young to vote but not to die, too young to love but too old to cry”

A Russian soldier with a guitar in Ukraine sang a song similar to this but instead he says "Don't tell mom that I'm going to Bakhmut."

Вечная память всем павшим ребятам...

As a former iraqi soldier who lose 3 years of my life in war against isis , I really understand the feeling when he said (I don't receive letters from home) , cause I lost my phone in beji battle and couldn't contact my family for 2 months, worste 2 months in my life

What struck me the most in this song is that our "protagonist" is enduring all these horrors of war in Chechenia but what he cares about is his mother, and how she shouldn't worry about him... War brings the best and worst in every human.

"War Is Where The Young And Stupid Are Tricked By The Old And Bitter Into Killing Each Other." - Niko

You russians have seen hell which most of the world does not even fathom. A strong people worthy of respect.

Thank you, those songs with these translation are a gem

I recently read a book called “One soldier’s war in Chechnya” Its written by a man who was sent there when he was 18y old as a conscript. Its a very good book, but fucking hell. He describes how some of them can barely look themself in the mirror. How some 20y old men had the eyes of someone old and tired. That they ALL died there in some way or another. Probably the lesser known but some of the most horrible conflicts of the last 50y took place there. Both sides had no regard for human dignity and butchered eachother like animals. 18y old, poorly trained, poorly equipped, poorly fed, unmotivated and scared. They were not ready for that conflict. The ones that did the best were those who served in Afghanistan and were battle-hardened and experienced soldiers. A very chilling passage tells how they were led into a hangar by an NCO, there was a large pile of armored vests dumped off a truck in the hangar. Many were shot through and blown apart. Still stained with the blood of their previous owners and their names and blood type written on the vest. They were then ordered to puzzle the intact parts together to build their own armored vests. Must have been horrifying seeing the stains and names on them, and realizing that these protect you from jackshit in battle while being heavy and uncomfy.

This song makes me really sad, because of a story that my dad told to me. During 1991 when yugoslavia broke away and when a war broke out, my family all went away to live in spain with our cousins, my grandpa was left there to protect the city they lived in they were kept in contact by letters, he lied to them that he is gonna be let out from the military in late 1991, but he wasnt. He never did, he was still in that bloodbath, the only one who knew about that was our dad, my grandpa sent him a letter saying this: EDIT: i found the actual letter my dad recieved from my grandpa, i will write it down and translate it for you guys. Ivane (his sons name aka my dad) Bilo je dosta dugo od kada ste me zadnji put vidjeli, sigurno ste svi uplašeni radi mene? Uostalom, ipak ti jedini znaš gdje sam, nadam se da si mi želju ispunio i da me nisi prevario. Sine, i dalje ovdje u Vukovaru, od grada jedino ostale ruševine, u rovu sam uplašen, gladan i šokiran, dan za danom granate padaju oko nas, jučer su Đuru i Matiju ubili granatom. Trenutno smo okruženi, nigdje spasa, što god radio, nikom ni rijeć o ovome. Ne govori im da sam i dalje u Vukovaru, molim te, reci im da se ne boje, slaži da će me Franjo Tuđman odpustiti sa vojne službe radi mirovine vjerovatno u listopadu 91, laži im kako znaš, reci da me čeka let za Španjolsku u siječnju, volim vas sve, -Ivica Translated Ivan It's been a long time since you last saw me, sure you are all afraid of that? Anyways, you are the only one who knows where i am, i hope you achieved my wish, and didnt cheat on me Son, im still in Vukovar, of the city only the ruins remain, im still in the trench, im scared, hungry, and shell shocked, day after day the bombs keep falling, yesterday Đuro and Matija died from a bomb, right now we are encircled, no survival chance. What ever you do, dont say a word to anyone. Dont tell them im still in Vukovar, please, tell them not to worry, lie to them that Franjo Tuđman is letting me out of military service in October, lie to them how ever you know, tell them im awaitng plane for spain in January 92 I love you all -Ivica He was later found in 92 and was executed by the serbians, he was found try to escape through the field of salvation, he was recognized as a soldier because the defenders of Vukovar had special boots, and they were indentified that way. This story is still sad to me to this day because they found him along the Dunav (Danube) river near the serbian border, well police did after the war in 1996, serbians used to drop dead bodies of croats into the river. May god be with my grandpa

Reading the comments and seeing personal storys regarding the way while listening to the songs hits deep in the heart.

As a former soldier I don't know why, but I'm crying listening this song.

2:19 - just to note, "Sanya" is a friendlier version of "Alexander" Similar to "Sam" and "Sammy" i guess i think that it is a bit important cause it shows close friendship ties between war comrades

10 million views. Congratulations

I came here from the song of the guy in Bakhmut and now I love that one even more.

Girl: what kind of music are you into? Me: Just don't tell my mom

For all you English Speakers, "Black Tulip" was a Nickname for the AN-12 Cub because it was often painted black, It served in the Soviet-Afghan War and Both Chechen Wars, and it Carried Dead soldiers in Wooden Coffins out, also When it took off it would send out flares to make it look like it was crying pretty sad and neat stuff

Песня прям за душу берёт😢, кинохроника того времени тоже самое. Какой же это был ужас. От этой войны столько погибло, и солдат и гражданских, нельзя допустить повторения 😢

From American people to Russian people's I love y'all

Been playing STALKER Anomaly and been playing old Russian war songs in the background, and I can feel the same emotions that the US went through aswell, we are truly more similar than the politicians claim

I once met a man in those government led hospitals for veterans. He was sitting near the building. I had a hard day i had to stood up all day and on my way home i wanted to sit. Luck be mine i sat next to him. We talked a lot and i noticed that every time he looked at my heavy work boots he would flicker his eyelids and i asked "Are you okay?" he replied "Never after Chechnya." I felt really bad and felt the urge of running away and cry in a dark corner.

Just one of the best songs I think I’ve ever heard

This singer sounds so much like Viktor Tsoi and the instrumental sounds like some of Kino's earlier works, makes this song all the better. Tsoi zhiv!

Let's hope not to be listening to "Ты только маме что я в Киеве не говори" any time soon...

What a beautiful song. Russian music and culture is so poetic, really underappreciated. I hope the best for every Rus, love from Denmark 🇩🇰🇷🇺

The Military Summary RU-vid channel uses this music for its shorts. A commentator finally said what this song was called.

We want peace between Russia and the USA. We don’t hate the Russian people, I wish our countries could be friendly. We will always respect you comrades, remember we are not our government. Sorry my Russian isn’t great. хорошего дня

Lived in Bosnia. Same vibe, thank you for this.

What a gem mate, I had only heard the version of the Soviet Afgan war. Instantly subbed!

I don't understand Russian cause I'm Albanian but I was searching for this song cause I really liked the Melody and when I saw the title in English I felt a punch in my stomach and as the song went by I just started crying, My great great grandma felt this when our Great grandpa died in WW1 fighting in the Greek army against Turks, Respect to all the soldiers no matter where they are from war is hell and Soldiers are there cause they were forced to be by brainless politicians. May God rest their souls in Peace Amen

Pole saying: Hope u all come home. Despite all history and hatred between our nations i Hope as many of you come back to ur families. Because there is nothing more painufull than mothers tears

Выпьем когда-нибудь за тех, кто навсегда остался молодым

Good video, but there is an error on Russian subtitles: Паплой - падлой Механик-бодитель - механик-водитель Горит - гори Плач - плачь Болшой - большой

"War Is Where The Young And Stupid Are Tricked By The Old And Bitter Into Killing Each Other." - Niko Bellic

I think this is the best and the most inspired version and performance of this beautiful song! I love it! Thank you!

I'm French, my father always sang this song to me like a lullaby. May God keep the souls of all who have come home in a black tulip. Heia hoho soldiers

Don't think I didn't notice that smooth-ass transition at 1:26

Будь проклята война, и да заметит Господь все слезы матерей

this song made me drop a tear

100 salutes for my old man who lied and at 17 saw hell on earth we killed for no reason and got killed for no reason he said to me when I tried to help the local civ they would run away and the men from my own brigade would bully me for helping the enemy

How this song depicts the awfulness of war by the motions of one soldier in the situations he lives and writes in his sister,It makes like i was fighting in this war.

СЛАВА РУССКОМУ НАРОДУ, ПРИВЕТ ОТ АРГЕНТИНСКИХ БРАТЬЕВ

"im with my friend samya, i bet he'll make it out of this" shows that he doesn't really think he himself will

Dont tell my mom Im in Afghanistan Dont tell my mom Im in Chechnya Dont tell my mom Im in Ukraine....

This song shows, no mather where you were born, every soldier only want´s one thing......Peace

Russian war songs: 😞😥☹️😢🫠 Serbian war songs: 🤩😎🥳😍😤

Мой отец воевал в Чечне, прошел войну, ветеран боевых действий. Даже на Украину хотел ехать, но не успел, во-первых призыв закончился, во-вторых он умер

i understand how russians feel because i was taken to the war in aleppo at 2013 (i was 16 at the time) and seen how stupid war really is... wish you all the best brothers.. from beautiful syria 🇸🇾❤️🇷🇺

My dad and both uncle fought in Yugoslavian civil war and Kosovar war during the 90s.. these types of songs really wake feelings up.. thanks for posting the song brother

Beautiful song... war truly is hell. Being on one or the other side of a war doesn't change the fact that war is horrible. Be you Ukrainian, or Russian, that doesn't change the fact that you have a family. If not that, a life, which is unspeakably precious.

Don't understand a word, but you can feel the pain and sorrow in his voice.

I'm neither a soldier, Russian, nor from the 90s, but I can't help but get teary eyed from this. Much love to anyone here going/went through a rough time.

Вечная слава братьям русским, да благословит вас Бог! Привет из Сербии! 🇷🇺❤️🇷🇸

Lyrics and context aside, this is an extremely catchy folk song. Ironically very nice to the ear.

"But for some reason I haven't been getting letters from home" That's what most soldiers are afraid: the possibility of dying alone, without even having said something to your family.

The worst thing is being forgotten, just a dead body among bodies, family still in question of where you are God bless them

as a chechen, who grew up in grozny during these wars, i used to listen a lot to these kinds of songs, both in russian and chechen language. Living far away from there now, ive spent a lot of time trying to understand how normal people could do such evil, like its not a little child you're killing right in front of its mother.. i feel for my russian brothers, and i'm sorry you had to suffer so much. But believe me when i say that the demage you did to us is beyond curable..its never the people who are at fault, only politics, so therefore id never hate on someone just because they're russians. But why does it always have to be "the evil chechens" in your songs? Even in your lullabies for children you're singing about the "evild chechen waiting in the woods".. and thats how the majority of the world sees us now..thats probably the most hurtful part about these songs, eventhough they ARE beautiful.

Слава пацанам защищавшим сваю родину ушедшим а , также выжившим

Russia has my respect

Hits harder now

I hate the divisions that controlling powers make between the US and Russia. Are we really so different? Should we really hate eachother because our grandfather's did? Can't we forgive the sins of the past and move on in peace? How are we even truly enemies..

Муж воевал в Чечне, морпех в 43 седой,2 ранения..Я люблю его

Красивая песня! Привет от Сербии

russkiye brat'ya, my chuvstvuyem vashu bor'bu. privet iz serbii.

Can’t stop listening to this.

Great Grandfather In Berlin Grandfather In Afghanistan Father In Chechnya Son In Kyiv Don't Tell my Mother"

Just don't tell Mom I'm in кошаре. Sending love from Serbia. May God bless your land Russians and may we hold this brotherhood till the end of time 🇷🇸❤️🇲🇪❤️🇷🇺

Как словить депрессию на весь день: послушать песни времён чеченских войн

I hope Russians know that we Americans are not our government. We harbor no hate whatsoever to the Russian people. Peace for everyone 🙏

My friends: Don’t tell my mom that I smoke Weed My Russian Friend:

если хочешь довести мужчину до слёз пусть сыграет эту песню.привет из Сербии!!!!

Ah shit here we go again

Grandfather : afghanistan Father : Chechnya Son : Ukraine

German War Music - Patriotic, die for the fatherland American War Music - We will be back soon from the war :D British War Music - GOD SAVE THE KING, LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE Russian War Music - It all sucks, War is hell

Don’t tell mum I’m in keiv

As an American I love exploring songs from years ago and songs that come from places in which the language I do not speak. I’ve found a lot through old songs, and seeing the comments have made me realize how different perspectives can be. It’s quite sad that most of my family see me as the “Russian” or the “commie” of the group, but if it takes that for me to learn what I never would have trough school then so be it lmao. and I just want to say that America and Russia aren’t so different. Stay safe.

My father was serving in Chechnya during the second chechen war and he is singing me this song from time to time as a way of expressing his pain and trauma from the war Слава русским сыновьям

Shi breaks my fucking heart bro why can’t we all get along there’s always a conflict someone is always upset about what someone else said or did or wants. I pray that one day we all can live in harmony and love each other as equals

When I hear this song I want to hug my family, greetings from an italian cadet.

This conflict always gives me feelings of sadness and hopelessness. All the vhs footage of muddy, grey and bleek towns blown to bits does it.

In my country we have this citation : War is the massacre of people who don't know each other, for the benefit of people who know each other and don't massacre each other.

From Indonesia to Russia 🙌🤝
