Music and Songs:
Баллада о солдате Ballad of a Soldier
В землянке The Dugout
В лесу прифронтовом Forests at the Front
Горячий снег Hot Snow
Давай закурим Let's have a smoke
Две подруги Two friends
День Победы Victory Day
Довоенный вальс Pre-war Waltz
Катюша Katyusha
Моя любимая My love
Нам нужна одна Победа We Need One Victory
Не думай о секундах свысока Don't Shun Instants
Несокрушимая и легендарная Enduring and Legendary
Огонек The Small Fire
Ой туманы мои растуманы Misty Fogs
Священная война Holy War
Синий платочек Blue Scarf
Соловьи Nightingales
Тёмная ночь Dark Night
Эх дороги Roads
