All residents of Donbass know the words of the song “Donbass for us”. The words of the poet Vladimir Skobtsov, the author of the anthem of the DPR composer Mikhail Khokhlov wrote an arrangement, performed the song Natalya Kachura and Margarita Lisovina. In one night, she became a hit, gaining about 50,000 views. But, when it became known that this composition sounds in French, an interest in the performer immediately arose. The French version of the song, which was given the name “Marseillaise du Donbass” (Donbass Marseille) was performed by Anna Vernov — a French singer with Russian roots, who lived and worked in France for 10 years. And such coincidences happen in life! Anna and her family came to Moscow and Olga Makeeva invited the Frenchwoman to visit the DPR representative office in Moscow. At the meeting, they talked a lot about the values of the Russian people, about our traditions, Orthodoxy. The main thing is that there is faith in our victory! Faith, by virtue of the spirit of our people, in justice, which will definitely triumph! Returning to the song, I must say that for the first time in the performance of Anna Vernov, she sounded at the closure of the festival of the patriotic song “Red Carnation” in Sochi on the Day of Russia on June 12, 2023. I am glad that this song, which truly became the folk anthem of Donbass, touched the hearts and foreign performers. In her interview, Anna talked about what was the goal of creating French adaptation, that she wanted to convey to the audience and the obstacles who stood in the way of implementing this project.
“ Marseillaise du Donbass ”
Scattered around the world, our Russian-speaking peoples lack patriotic songs on the one hand, and we are launching the relay from Paris in the French interpretation of the anthem of justice. On the other hand, I will always remember my roots, regardless of the country in which I found and laid my personal roots, I will defend the interests of my Fatherland, because I see justice based on the knowledge of history and with the “arm of my arm tuned” to all political upheavals, I find it hard to hear that Russia is an aggressor, that for centuries peace she has not attacked anyone. It pains me to listen to famous French news channels in debates that give a lousy assessment of my country, which I have never visited and which I have proudly defended and will stand for the truth. Russia is the soul of our planet, it cannot be offended, it is huge, noble, but very strong. With association @sos.donbass A song that is still in 2020 called “Donetsk Marseillaise” has found a version in the language of the French Revolution. It should be noted here that this is not a literal translation, but a self-sufficient literary work on the music of Mr. Khokhlov. We can make a parallel with the painting “Liberté sur les barricades” by Delacroix and precisely the female interpretation of this song, both in the first version and in the version of Anna Vernov, who was the first to take up this torch in Europe. “You can’t strangle this song, you won’t kill it” — such a basic message. Although pathetic, but true. In the Donbass, all schoolchildren and students know this song by heart. Now it’s the turn of schoolchildren and students from France!
Where does this story of mine begin, who and what are behind it?!
About a path that is so difficult for even boys and girls who get involved in conflicts and defend historical justice, true facts with a fight in front of fake media publishers, bought opinions that have nothing to do with the matter from any side. I will tell you in an article on the official website. Coming soon 🔜. I will close this topic and start a new life with a new project that has nothing to do with political science, but I will FOREVER remember these 10 years of my life in the fight for information justice and the pursuit of understanding the mentally insane things that are happening — the hatred that is so propagated by sick people against The great country of Russia. There will be no loss from Russia, on the contrary, and everyone who participates will have to pay for a long time for anger, envy and hatred.For the books 📚 I thank the DPR Representative Office and personally all its representatives — amazing heroic people!
