Official march of the Preobrazhensky Regiment (1683-1917) (2013-) The march was written in the time of Peter the Great. It was also used as an unofficial national anthem in imperial times.
Kaiser Franz I heard that you were really good about being incompetent well guess what it's not only you we are incompetent too but at least we have somebody to rely on and you guys too
My variant of translation: Turks do know us, Swedes do know us, Our fame runs far and wide. To the battles, to the triumph Emperor leads us himself. Withus shares he war-time hardships, Ahead of us he rides to fight. And everyone of us would be happy To fall in battle by his side. Glourious were our forefathers - Swedes and Poles remember them! And has soared the eagle of triumph On Poltava battlefield. Their regimental banner seizing Our Russian bayonette - It reminds to all our brethern, How forefathers used to fight! Sharp is still bayonette triquetrous, Voice of honour thunders on, As will march into the battle First-most Russian regiment. To tzars rom Peter and up to Nicholas Always loyal have we been! In the battle without hesitation Our chests we'll sacrifice! Emperor to delight we're happy, Valorous brothers in arms, And who once were merely "Toy army" Glorious will be! Long Live!
@@ina_doesstuff those words have same meaning. Tzar in Russian means "Emperor", same as Kaiser in German being derivative of "Caesar". Its just way of thought called "exotification", when some butchered native language term is used instead of proper translation. We, in Japanese also have Tennou = Koutei = Sumerogi = Sumera-no Mikoto = Kinrisama = Oo-Kimi = Emperor. In case of my translation, I chose the word, that rhytmically was most appropriate in my opinion.
@Казанский Ларек во-первых ссср существовал меньше чем империя , во вторых , во время холодной войны ссср был куда могущественнее в политических и территориальных вопросах , в третих ссср не проиграл зимнюю войну .
Но Российская империя - сокрушительное поражение в Великой войне , проигрыш в Крымской и Русско-Турецкой войне , а также позор во время русско японской войны 1905 года
The Preobrazhensky Guard, on the Heights of Borodino, under massed Cannon fire of Napoleons Grand Army, whilst bleeding the Nobility of Russia, stood their Ground. Gives me chills everytime I think about it.
@@tellurius4951 Yes, because Russian "defended" country by burning their cities (and not only their like for ex. Ryga, Smoleńsk, Połock) and vilagesn, and also still run away away. I'm fully agree with you, French had to retreat, and were finally defeated. But who made it was impowerished, wild, empty Russia, and not Russians. It is huge contrast between what this war is shown, and what reality was (mainly imagined in "War and Peace").
@@krzysztofmichniewicz6247 What part of 'Grand Army" do you not understand. It was a coalition of like 12 nations soldiers. The fact the Russians could offer any defense to such a force at that time was astounding. Of course they gave up Moscow but took all the supplies and burnt the city so they could not winter there.
@@samsmith2635 So why you writing about they "stand their ground", when just a bit later you had to say they had to gave up Moscow? That's how to defense city before enemy? By burning them... Moscow wasn't such a lose, it was clearly Russian city. But Vilnius or Smolensk!? It wasn't only Russian heritage, and they simply burned the city, not French. Of course, war is war, and it was succesful, but they proved that Napoleon said about them as primitives, and making war cruel in areas wich it isn't necessary is simply barbaric way. That's what Russians did in their own, and country "defense". About nations in Grand Armee there were Germans, Poles, Lithuanians, Italians, with addiction of Portugese and Spanish and of course French. On Russian side fought Russians, Lithuanians, Tatars, Poles, Mongols, Finnish, Ruthenians or Belarusians, Germans, all of them forced or joined russian army. There's no such difference. Napoleon entered in june, since july it was clear that he was pushing trough Moscow, and a Russians weren't able to make a wooden fences to protect their soldiers on the redoubts, it was too short, so Russians were perfect aims from down to storming French etc, etc, about wich standing its ground are you talking about Dude?
I disagree my friend. Russia would not be the military and industrialized super power it is now, if Tsar was in power. i am sorry, but the Tsars Only worried about THEIR Well-Being, and they Lost the confidence of the people, but also drew their Anger. Soviet Russia is the past, but its contribution (for better and worse) will be felt by russians for Generations to come.

@@slavic_viking9638 Soviet Russia was only a component of the ussr. Plus Germany is still a superpower. Yes its not as powerful as the us but its still one. I mean they de facto rule the EU
@@cgt3704 true that but don't forget that the RSFSR was the main nation in the USSR while the rest was just puppet Republic whose leaders where selected by the RSFSR who could also change the leaders if they were not loyal to them. The USSR was mostly controlled by the RSFSR. But I agree about Germany becoming one superpower
Our royal marines play this as a slow march in honour of Lord Mountbattern of Burma real title Prince Louise of Batternbergh , I remember the day he was blown to bits whilst on holiday in the Irish republic the men who carried this out were murderers the royal marines player this march at the state funeral I will never forget the slow beat of the drums and all the instruments draped in black I was in tears he didn't deserve to die that way The czar was mountbatterns uncle and he was related to the crown heads of Europe as well and to the czariner I pray that in the future the Russian monarchy is restored. THANKS BE TO GOD
He was also desperately in love with Grand Duchess Maria and kept her photograph by his bed for the rest of his life. They would’ve married had it not been for those godless Bolshevik animals…
Suvorov´s Cadets played and sang it in Switzerland. Suvorov was a general, who crossed Alps during Napoleonic wars fighting French. He seemed to be celebrated still in Switzerland. Military band of Suvorov school goes there annually ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5p9OzT64hEI.html
Знают турки нас и шведы, И про нас известен свет: На сраженья, на победы Нас всегда сам Царь ведет! С нами труд Он разделяет, Перед нами Он в боях; Счастьем всяк из нас считает Умереть в Его глазах! Славны были наши деды - Помнит их и швед, и лях, И парил орел победы На Полтавских на полях! Знамя их полка пленяет Русский штык наш боевой, Он и нам напоминает, Как ходили деды в бой. Твёрд наш штык четырехгранный, Голос чести не замолк. Так пойдем вперед мы славно, Грудью первый русский полк. Государям по присяге Верным полк наш был всегда, В поле брани, не робея, Грудью служит он всегда. Преображенцы удалые, Рады тешить мы Царя, И потешные былые Славны будут ввек, Ура!

Il faut prendre cette musique pour ce qu'elle est : c'est un chant de guerre pour le Régiment Preobrazhensky. C'est un chant de marche pour encourager les soldats à suivre le tsar qui mène ses soldats à la bataille. On pourrait comparer cet air à la Marseillaise dont le titre original était Chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin. Une chose est certaine; c'est un chant de guerre pour encourager les soldats à se battre et nous pouvons en admirer la mélodie qui est très belle et les paroles.
@@user-ky2zi4fp9r про поляков не упоминается, а вот на счёт турков да. Поляки уже забили на раздел средневековья, а вот советский расстрел они помнят всегда.
Not only polish , swedish and turks remember that :') but all the world know how glorious Russia empire is Im not russian , but i feel sad that the Russian empire is destroy But i feel glad that russia soviet is died by his own ideology Long live The Tsar , god bless the Tsar and anyone who support Russian monarchy For White's!
Tsarist Russia had more connections with the western powers than Modern day Russian Federation, makes you think how different would have Russia been today if it wasn't for the Bolshveks. Tsarist Russia and Communism are both parts of our long and sad history it shaped the Russian Federation we know today, I don't feel pity nor hate towards our history I just simply accept it as fact and take pride in it and in our country.
