1948 Zenith CobraMatic plays Fight For The Fatherland (В БОЙ, ЗА РОДИНУ!) 1942, Soviet

Sometimes you find surprises when you buy a box of records at estate sales. Amid the usual opera LPs and older 78 rpm 10-inch discs of a recent find, I discovered some WWII-era military-themed song recordings from propaganda films made in the Soviet Union. They're not really my cup of tea, but imagine if this was all you had to listen to day after day while working in the Soviet Union, behind the Iron Curtain. The label of this 78 rpm 10-inch single indicates that In the Fight For the Fatherland, 9350-b (В БОЙ, ЗА РОДИНУ! in Russian) is from the 1942 film "This is the Enemy." This rousing Soviet propaganda song was sung by the Leningrad Military Chorus, and imported and distributed by Stirson Trading Co. (bourgeois capitalists), N.Y.C. The label also indicates that it was recorded in the Soviet Union.
