Notes written by Izzy Hod: The basic Tachanka was a four-wheeled, spring-ride wagon, drawn by up to four horses, mounted on a heavy machine gun, of the Maxim type. The great advantage of the Tachanka was when retreating by necessity, or in tactics, from an army pursuing the retreaters. The machine gun that turned to the opposite side of the horses [back], so as not to startle them when firing, would then go into action, facing the pursuers. The Tachanka was widespread in the Russian Civil War [1917-1922] and its invention is attributed to Nastor Ivanovich Makhno, a Ukrainian anarchist with his own private army and later the commander of the Ukrainian Black Army [the equivalent of the Russian Red Army], who sometimes fought against, but most of the time alongside, the Soviet Red Army [the Bolsheviks], against the White Army [the Mensheviks and the remnants of the Tsar's soldiers]. This is for the independence of Ukraine and his personal benefit. The theory of combat in the Tachanka was developed by Semyon Mikhailovich Bodyony, the future Marshal of the Red Army and a close friend of Stalin. A similar military vehicle was used by the British, in suppressing the rebellion in Southern Rhodesia [now Zimbabwe], in the nineties of the nineteenth century, long before the Russian Civil War. The name, Tachanka, probably derived from the Ukrainian word, Tabrychanka-a reinforced Ukrainian wagon, or, the Polish word, Netuchanka-a spring-ridden light wagon, or both, all describing different types of carriages. In the 1950s, the Russian cavalry was abolished and with it the Tachanka. The poet, Mikhail Izakovich Rodarman, who was about 15 years old towards the end of the civil war, saw one day, in the city of Kharkiv, on the street of his house, a long convoy of Tachankas rushing to the battlefield against the army of the White general, Anton Ivanovich Danikin, who had partially adapted to the new communist government that arose and in 1926 fled to France and attempts to kidnap him and return him to Russia by the Soviets failed. He died in 1947 and was buried in the USA and brought to Russia for burial, with the consent of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, in 2005. The poet Rodarman told, in 1936, when he was about 35 years old, how he was then impressed by the warriors who were in the Tachankas. Rodarman, then, 15 years old, at the beginning of his career as a young poet and journalist in a local newspaper called, the Red Cadet, and what especially affected him were the destruction of the city in the civil war, and the longing for his older brother, who was recruited and sent to fight, with the Red Army, as an active soldier in this army. Already then, the words of the song were engraved in his head But it wasn't until 1936 when he was about 35 years old and saw the painting by the Russian painter, Mitropan Martyshchenko Pavlovich [known as, Mitropan Borisovich Grakov] the timeless painting of the Tachanka, depicting four fiery horses galloping forward, leading a carriage drawn by horses Carrying a heavy machine gun of a Maxim type and the eyes of the young machine gunner on it, burning with selfless courage and determination, that he felt ready to write about it in a poem, the Tachanka, and the poem, was published in the newspaper, Pravda, and later added to Rudarman's book of poems called, Poems of the Soviet Motherland. In this book the composer, Konstantin Yakovlevich Listov found, by chance, rodarman's song. Listov, who was also about 35 years old when he came across the song, also remembered details related to Tachanka. Listov, joined the Red Army in 1918, when he was 18 years old, and began his life as a fighter at the beginning of the Civil War, in a unit called the Red Cavalry, commanded by his father, there, Listov, himself was a machine gunner, in the unit where the Tachanka starred and he remembered all his life a very special event with the Tachanka. And this was the event, the military unit in which he served crossed a prairie near a city called Kamishin, which was occupied and caught fire at the time by a white army unit present there. It was clear to everyone that there were no red fighters left alive in this inferno. But suddenly a Tachanka emerged from the inferno, crossed the lines of the white units in spite of the heavy fire that was fired at it, and from behind the carriage turned to the front of the white warriors, and a fire was fired from the Tachanka that felled dozens of the white warriors. The Tachanka continued its gallop indiscriminately, until the horses pulling it collapsed covered in blood from the bullets that hit them, but the machine gun, Maxim, in the Tachanka, continued to rain down fire in every direction until the last bullet. In the Tachanka the gun shooter was left, riddled with dozens of bullets that hit him and caused his death, but his finger was still tight on the trigger and a smile of victory froze on his lips. Listov read the poem by Rodarman, whose content resembled the heroic event he remembered and immediately wrote the melody for the song and passed it, without the knowledge of the poet, Rodarman, to the conductor and founder of the Red Army Choir, Alexander Vasilievich Alexandrov, and the song was played for the first time on 18.12.1937. It was during the celebrations of the twentieth anniversary of the 1917 revolution and the establishment of the communist Soviet Russia. The song won the first prize in a competition related to the event and it was at the award ceremony that the composer Listov and the poet Rudarman met for the first time. At the concert where the song was played for the first time, Ruderman was present in the hall, but, Listov, did not obtain an entrance ticket and was even shamefully removed from the entrance gate. When he introduced himself as the composer of the song, he was not believed and he heard the concert on the radio, at the house of a friend who lived nearby. Only after the concert, the composer and the poet met, during the awarding ceremony. The Komsomol, mentioned in the song, is the name of the communist, Leninist, Soviet and international youth movement, which was founded in 1918 and whose members were from the age of 14 to the age of 28 and thus came to participate, also in the civil war. Here is the text story of the song, fly to the skies dear bird, keep wandering far and from the clouds see the galloping horses. See how the machine gun on the Tachanka turned to the direction of the pursuing enemy and a young machine gunner began firing heavy fire at it. The city of Rostov sent us the beautiful and proud four-wheeled Tachanka with the cavalry men on board. Between the Volga and the Don there is a glowing golden prairie and a machine gun boy is seen galloping in the prairie like a flying arrow, on a red horse. The city of Kiev gave the Tachanka to a boy from the communist youth movement, the Komsomol. Tanks and planes also take part in battles, but the Tachanka carriages, which are maneuvered according to Budyony theory, are also fast and emit heavy fire. The city of Poltava also gave the Komsomol boys Tachanka and a boy who quickly became a man, on it, with a heavy machine gun.
Texts from the references
It is not known who first came up with the idea to install a machine gun on the wheelbarrow.
Massively used machine-gun tachankas were the first guerrillas, Makhnov, which made them the fastest army of the Civil War. At the end of 1920, the Commander of the Second Equestrian Army, Philip Mironov, lured the Wrangel cavalry commander of the Second Equestrian Army to makhnov tachanka. In those battles under rebel machine guns lay the best cavalry parts of the white.
Tachanka (Russian: Tачанка), sometimes labelled Song of the Tachanka (Russian: Песня о Тачанке, romanized: Pesnya o Tachanke) is a Soviet revolutionary song from the late Interwar period, composed by Konstantin Listov and written by Mikhail Ruderman in 1937. It describes an unnamed battle in the Russian Civil War and the Tachankas, or machine-gun carts, that were used by the Red Army at the time. The song underwent several lyrical changes over the years, and features in the repertoire of the Red Army Choir and Leon Lishner.
The tank/tachanka is the name of a horse-held spring wagon with a machine gunsent backwards as it moves. Two (paired sleds), three (see Grekov's picture "The Machine Guns To Move Forward," 1925) or four horses (reinforced sled, "tach" harness) were usually put in the tachanka. The crew usually consisted of two or three people (a gunner, a machine gunner and his assistant). The RCKA and its opponents used different types of tachanka.
The story of the creation of the song "Tachanka". The machine-gun was a formidable "battle chariot" during the Civil War. And today it can be seen only in museums and in films that tell about the legendary events of those years. Cast in bronze, frozen tachankas in the steppe near Kakhovka and at the entrance to Rostov-on-Don-in those places on which once passed the battle routes of Budenov-first-conniks. The picture of M. Grekov "Tachanka"is known and memorable for all, which captured for posterity a moment of hot battle: four hot horses rushing forward, burning with selfless courage and determination of the young machine gunner's eyes. It seems that this painting inspired the poet Mikhail Isaakovich Ruderman (1905-1984) to create poems about the tachanka in 1936. The poet himself did not deny it, but specified that there were also unforgettable impressions of childhood, when in his homeland, in Kharkiv, a fourteen-year-old boy he saw for the first time a red cavalry: one after another carried down the street, past their house, machine-gun tachankas-fighters rushed to the south, to finish off Denikin…The poem was published in "Truth." Several composers wrote music for it. But the song did not work until the composer Konstantin Yakovlevich List (1900-1983) accidentally read these poems in the book "Songs of the Land of the Soviets". The age of the century, he was an eighteen-year-old boy who voluntarily joined the Red Army, defended his native Soviet power. He didn't know the battle of the wheelbarrow from the paintings...Forever crashed into the memory of Listov one front-line episode, which he told many years later, familiar with the history of the creation of "Tachanka": "Under Kamyshyn our part was in reserve. On the deserted, deserted steppes moved cautiously, bypassing the burned farms. Feared enemy ambushes. I was sent to reconnaissance once. In a few miles from us was visible, as in the palm of the hand, burning farm, surrounded by white. "I still can't forget him. Drove! I got it!" ...Then the political department of the 10th Army, knowing that I was composing songs, sent me to the Saratov Conservatory. After graduating, I came to Moscow. And when I read Ruderman's poems, I immediately remembered that brave, young guy-a heroic fighter of the revolution, faithful to her to the last breath. Only in the verses he is not dead, but immortal, alive...I instantly wrote the music and carried it to the Red Banner Ensemble. Alexander Alexandrov liked the song about the tachanka so much that he immediately said: "We will sing it for at least five years...Everyone will sing it!" On December 18, 1937, the Red Banner performed "Tachanka" in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The success was huge: the song was encoreed three times. The whole army picked it up, the youth sang. It was played at demonstrations and parades. Choreographic compositions were put on the melody of the song. The short film "Song about a tachanka" released by the Leningrad Studio was facilitated by the distribution of the song, one of the first experiments of the creation of a film-song with the participation of the Red Banner Ensemble of song and dance of the Soviet Army. "Tachanka" is the brightest example of amazing penetration into the character of the era.
The story of one song. Tachanka. The machine gun was a formidable "battle chariot" during the Civil War. And today it can be seen only in museums and in films that tell about the legendary events of those years. Cast in bronze, frozen tachankas in the steppe near Kakhovka and at the entrance to Rostov-on-Don-in those places on which once passed the battle routes of Budenov -first-conniks. But I think I will dedicate a separate theme to these monuments, and here we will talk about the song. The painting of M. Grekov "Tachanka" which opens the post, which captured for posterity a moment of hot battle is known: four hot horses, burning with selfless courage and determination of the young machine gunner's eyes, are known for the descendants. It seems that this painting inspired the poet Mikhail Isaakovich Ruderman (1905-1984) to create poems about the tachanka in 1936. The poet himself did not deny it, but specified that there were also unforgettable impressions of childhood, when in his homeland, in Kharkiv, a fourteen-year-old boy he saw for the first time a red cavalry: one after another carried down the street, past their house, machine-gun tachankas-fighters rushed to the south, to finish off Denikin. Fighting was going on all over the country, rolled through thousands of cities and villages. They did not bypass Kharkiv. In the nineteenth the Red Army of the White Guard was knocked out of the city. Parts of the streets marched, artillery and dashing tachanka passed. A new life began to be established in the city. But the timing was troubling. It was necessary to train young soldiers in military affairs, to train red commanders. The magazine "Red Cadet" was born in Kharkiv at that time, and one of the magazine's employees was a fifteen-year-old boy Misha Ruderman. In the afternoon I prepared articles in the next room, and in the evening, wearing a soldier's cloak and taking a rifle, went on duty. Misha was an aspiring poet, and his first poem was featured in the Red Cadet. Many angry lines were born in the head of a young soldier. The war ruined his native Poltavshchina. She took away from him his older brother - the Red Army. Many years have passed since then. The twentieth anniversary of Soviet power was approaching. The country was preparing to celebrate the holiday with dignity. It was impossible to do without a song, without those cherished words, which reveals all the experiences of the country and the people. And then the all-union competition for the best song was announced. Mikhail Ruderman decided that summer to go to his native places, to Poltavshchina. Having found himself in a quiet village, he wrote a lot, thought about participating in the competition. One day, going out in the field and looking blank blue distance, he suddenly saw...your song. She raced at it, wild and swirling. The image was found. Soon, in "Truth" along with other poems, which were also to become songs, there was a new poem by Ruderman "Tachanka". Now the word was for the composers. They didn't wait long. Ruderman's text turned out to be almost the most popular. There was, perhaps, no composer who would not write music for him. And now the results are summed up, the prizes have been handed out. But among the noted there is no song on Ruderman's poems. Maybe the text is bad? No, it's just that no one has managed to reveal the soul of the poem in the song. Only a person who felt very deeply that he was behind the words of this poem could do it. Composer Konstantin Listov did not participate in the competition. But one day he accidentally unwrapped the same number "Truth" (according to another version of Ene read the poems in the collection), which was printed "Tachanka". Leaf read the poems, and immediately revived the memories. The poem was published in Pravda. Several composers have written music for him. But the song did not work until the composer Konstantin Yakovlevich Listov (1900-1983) accidentally read these poems in the book "Songs of the Land of Soviets". The lines and images captured in the poem awakened memories of his youth, dear to his heart, when Listov was a fighter, and then a political instructor in the red cavalry, fought in the civil war near Tsaritsyn. Kostya Listov learned the war at the age of seventeen. It was a civil war. He had just graduated from a music school in Tsaritsyn, but had to fight. Without hesitation, Kostya volunteered for the Red Cavalry Regiment. The commissioner in this regiment was his father-a Tsaritsyn worker-Bolshevik. A lot of things were seen in these fire years by the young cavalryman. Lost friends, barely having time to make friends, knew the joy of victories and bitterness of defeats. But he remembered most from those times one tragic episode. emembered most from those times one tragic episode. Forever crashed into the memory of Listov one front-line episode, which he told many years later, familiar with the history of the creation of "Tachanka": "Under Kamyshyn our part was in reserve. On the deserted, deserted steppes moved cautiously, bypassing the burned farms. Feared enemy ambushes. I was sent to reconnaissance once. A few miles away we could see, as in the palm of our hand, a burning farm surrounded by whites. It seemed that no one was destined to escape from there. And suddenly heard the fractional sounds of the machine-gun queue, and right on the position of the white flew a tachanka. She raced in a whirlwind on the steppe. A hail of bullets was thrown at her. And in response, he poured machine-gun fire on the enemy with machine-gun fire, a blond-haired machine gunner. He's a beautiful guy! "I still can't forget it. He was riddled with bullets, but broke through to his own. Deadly wounded, he lay, embracing the barrel of his machine gun. And so triumphant and happy was his look...Drove! I got it!"...Then the political department of the 10th Army, knowing that I was composing songs, sent me to the Saratov Conservatory. After graduating, I came to Moscow. And when I read Ruderman's poems, I immediately remembered that brave, young guy-a heroic fighter of the revolution, faithful to her to the last breath.

The history of one song. TachankaThe machine-gun cart was a formidable "war chariot" during the civil war. And today it can only be seen in museums and in films telling about the legendary events of those years. Cast in bronze, the carts froze in the steppe near Kakhovka and at the entrance to Rostov-on-Don - in those places along which the combat routes of the Budenov-First Horsemen once ran. But I think I will devote a separate topic to these monuments, and here we will talk about the song. Everyone knows and remembers the painting by M. Grekov "Tachanka", which opens the post, capturing for posterity a moment of hot battle: four hot horses rushing forward, eyes of a young machine gunner burning with selfless courage and determination. The history of one song. Tachanka It seems that it was this picture that inspired the poet Mikhail Isaakovich Ruderman (1905-1984) in the distant 1936 to create poems about a cart. The poet himself did not deny this, but clarified that there were also unforgettable childhood impressions, when in his homeland, in Kharkov, as a fourteen-year-old boy, he saw the red cavalry for the first time: one after another, machine-gun carts rushed along the street, past their house - the soldiers were in a hurry to the south, to finish off Denikin ...Fights were going on all over the country, rolling over thousands of cities and villages. They did not bypass Kharkov either. In the nineteenth, the Red Army drove the White Guard scum out of the city. Units marched through the streets in a victorious march, artillery and dashing carts drove by. A new life began to emerge in the city. But the times were troubling. It was necessary to train young soldiers in military affairs, to train red commanders. The Red Cadet magazine was then born in Kharkov, and a fifteen-year-old boy, Misha Ruderman, became one of the magazine's employees.

But one day he accidentally unfolded the same issue of Pravda (according to another version, he read poems in a collection) in which Tachanka was printed. Lisztov read poetry, and memories immediately came to life ...The history of one song. Tachanka The poem was published in Pravda. Several composers have written music for it. But the song did not work out until the composer Konstantin Yakovlevich Listov (1900-1983) accidentally read these verses in the book "Songs of the Land of Soviets". The lines and images captured in the poem awakened memories of his youth, dear to his heart, when Listov was a fighter, and then a political instructor in the red cavalry, fought in the civilian near Tsaritsyn.

The history of one song. Tachanka One front-line episode, which he told about many years later, acquainting him with the history of the creation of "Tachanka" forever stuck in Listov's memory: “Near Kamyshin, our unit was in reserve. We moved cautiously along the deserted, deserted steppe, bypassing the burnt farms. We were afraid of enemy ambushes. Once I was sent to investigate. A few versts from us was visible, as if in the palm of your hand, a burning farm, surrounded by whites. It seemed that no one was destined to escape from there. And suddenly the fractional sounds of a machine-gun burst were heard, and a cart flew right at the position of the whites. She ran like a whirlwind across the steppe. A hail of bullets rained down on her. And in response, a fair-haired machine gunner, clinging to the barrel of the Maxim, poured machine-gun fire on the enemy. Nice boy! I still can't forget him. He was all riddled with bullets, but broke through to his own. Mortally wounded, he lay, hugging the barrel of his machine gun. And his look was so triumphant and happy... Drove him! Got it!"...The history of one song. TachankaThen the political department of the 10th Army, knowing that I was composing songs, seconded me to the Saratov Conservatory. After graduating from it, I came to Moscow. And when I read Ruderman's poems, I immediately remembered that brave, young guy - the heroic fighter of the revolution, faithful to her until his last breath. Only in verse he is not dead, but immortal, alive ...The history of one song. TachankaI instantly wrote music and carried it to the Red Banner Ensemble. Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov liked the song about the cart so much that he immediately said: “We will sing it for at least five years ...

The success was huge: the song was encore three times. demonstrations and parades. Choreographic compositions were set to the melody of the song. The short film "Song of the Tachanka" released by the Leningrad newsreel studio, one of the first attempts to create a film-song with the participation of the Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble of the Soviet Army, contributed to the distribution of the song. "Tachanka" is the brightest an example of amazing penetration into the character of the era (unfortunately I did not find the film on YouTube). You fly out of the way, bird, Beast, get out of the way! You see, the cloud swirls, Horses rush ahead! And from a raid, from a turn, Along the chain of enemies, a thick one Will shoot from a machine gun A young machine gunner. Chorus: Eh, tachanka-Rostovite, Our pride and beauty, Cavalry tachanka, All four wheels! Ah, beyond the Volga and beyond the Don Rushed across the steppe, a golden , tanned , dusty young machine-gunner. And rushed irresistibly With the mane of a red horse Mane of wind, mane of smoke, Mane of storm and fire. Chorus: Eh, tachanka-Kyiv, Our pride and beauty, Komsomol tachanka, All four wheels! Tanks rumble across the ground, Aircraft loops. About Budyonnovsk's tachanka Pilots sing in the sky. And the enemy is still dreaming of Heavy and leaden rain, War chariot, Young machine gunner. Chorus: Oh, Poltava cart, Our pride and beauty, Machine-gun cart, All four wheels! At the entrance to the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, from where the concert of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Red Army under the direction of A. V. Aleksandrov was broadcast, the surf was seething. There were more people wishing to attend the concert than there were seats in the hall. And among the stowaways was the author of the music for "Tachanka" Konstantin Listov. How he scolded himself for being too shy to take a free ticket to the concert! I hoped that they would let me through, because after all, the author. But the usher only looked at him suspiciously: who, they say, knows you, that you are the author, and resolutely blocked the road. With a wave of his hand, Konstantin Listov rushed to his friend, who, fortunately, lived not far from the conservatory. Will it succeed or not? And only thanks to the extraordinary success of the song - the Ensemble had to perform it three times in a row - Listov heard, however, on the radio, the first performance of "Tachanka". And there, in the hall, sat another happy songwriter - Ruderman. Yes, they met - Mikhail Ruderman and Konstantin Listov. And even though one of them was already an established poet, and the other a professional musician, they remained young soldiers of the Red Army in their hearts. And the secret of the success of the song turned out to be that the symbolic image of the "tanned, dusty" young machine gunner, created by the poet, suddenly came to life: the music merged with the words, and the soul of the song was revealed to the listeners. Everyone saw a hero. It was the same guy riddled with bullets in a cart. The cause for which he gave his life won. His machine gun knowingly scribbled at the enemy. The Red Army soldier was not forgotten, and none of those fiery years was forgotten, because all this did not die in the hearts of former soldiers, in the memory of the people. A little about the creators. Soviet composer Konstantin Yakovlevich Listov (1900-1983)The history of one song.
