Москва–Пекин / 莫斯科—北京 - Moscow–Beijing (Sino-Soviet Friendship Song) [Full Choir Version]

A song written at the height of Sino-Soviet relations, expressing the camaraderie between the two fraternal nations at the time, as well as more specifically between the Russian and Chinese people. Full, grandiose Soviet choir version of the song, in contrast to the children’s choir version I uploaded prior. Performer: All-Union Radio Choir (Хор Всесоюзного Радио) Year Composed/Written: 1949 Composer: Vano Muradeli (ვანო მურადელი) Lyricist: Mikhail Vershinin (Михаил Вершинин) Image: Sino-Soviet friendship poster, “Friends forever!“ (“Дружба навеки!“ / “永恆的友誼!”).
