The Volga River Flows is a song written in 1962 by composer Mark Fradkin and poet Lev Oshanin for the panoramic film The Volga Flows. The authors wanted Mark Bernes to perform it in the film, but he did not like the song, and as a result, Vladimir Troshin recorded it for the film. The premiere of the picture took place on March 1, 1963, but in July 1962 it was told in one of the issues of the Sunday radio program of the All-Union Radio "Good Morning!". The story was to be accompanied by a recording of the song, but the editors did not have Troshin's phonogram, and then, with the consent of the director, it was offered to be recorded by M. Bernes,and this time he agreed. Thus, it was in the performance of Bernes that the song was first heard by millions of radio listeners. On December 10, 1962, Bernes recorded a new version released on a record in 1963, to this soundtrack, Bernes also performed the song on the television program Blue Lighton May 1, 1963. The second recording of the song was also released in 1963-in the interpretation of Lyudmila Zykina, who included it in her concert repertoire after the premiere of the film. The unique timbre of the singer's voice, the special warmth and sincerity of her performance gave the song a new sound. It is in this version that the Volga River Flows was especially loved by listeners. In the Western media, Zykina was called "Miss Volga", and the song for many years became her calling card.

The history of the song "The Volga River Flows" December 4, 2018 Tags: Vladimir Troshin , Lev Oshanin , Lyudmila Zykina , Mark Bernes , Mark Fradkin , Soviet stage Denis Anipchenko. The author of the article is Anatoly Anipchenko. I used to listen to this song often as a child. I remember how in the sixties of the last century a TV appeared in our rural house, which my father managed to set up first in the village. It was the so-called "combine", which consisted directly of a TV, as well as a radio and a player. Since then, when I was about seven years old, we not only watched TV, but also listened to songs from records. Often the lyrical "The Volga River Flows", "Valenki", etc. sounded. Parents, grandparents loved to listen to musical works in their spare time. Together with them, we became listeners, even though at first involuntary. “My Volga is flowing, and I am seventeen years old” ... Then I was still far from seventeen, today I am far from seventeen ... And now, in adulthood, having heard this composition, I remembered my childhood. I decided to browse the Internet, learn about it, about the history of its occurrence. Having received interesting information, I share it with you. The history of the creation of the song "The Volga River Flows" We talk about bad roads in Russia, forgetting about the beautiful rivers available for wonderful trips, during which the legendary song "The Volga River Flows" involuntarily comes to mind. It was composed in 1962 by composer Mark Fradkin and poet Lev Oshanin. Born on the Volga, the poet Lev Oshanin had for years nurtured the idea of a poem or a poem about the great river. He told: For a long time I did not dare to take up an exciting topic, it was very scary after “Because of the island to the core” or “Down the mother along the Volga” to take up the pen. And somehow Mark Grigoryevich Fradkin, a well-known composer, called me and said that for a panoramic film about the Volga, director Yakov Segel, who was filming it by order of Paris, asked me to write a song. It was tempting and scary at the same time. But I agreed without hesitation: it must be so. We came with Fradkin to the film crew in Volgograd and there, on board the Argun steamer, line by line, turn by turn, we created a song...The authors had a great desire to have their work sung by Mark Bernes. The famous artist was not impressed by the song, and he declined the invitation. Vladimir Troshin recorded it for the movie, and on March 1, 1963, the premiere demonstration of the picture took place. True, the listeners got acquainted with the composition “The Volga River Flows” in the version of just Bernes. In July 1962, on the Sunday radio program Good Morning! the song was told. It was supposed to accompany the story with a recording performed by Troshin, but the soundtrack could not be obtained. The editors obtained the consent of the film's director and approached Mark Bernes , who changed his mind and gave his consent. An audience of millions heard the song performed by Bernes for the first time. On December 10, he recorded a new version, which was released on LP the following year. The same soundtrack was used by Mark Bernes during his performance on Blue Light, filmed on May 1, 1963. “The Volga River Flows” - Lyudmila Zykina. The interpretation of the song by Lyudmila Zykina became the second recording of "The Volga Flows", which was made in 1963. The singer appeared in the concert repertoire after the premiere of the film "The Volga River Flows". Thanks to the special warmth and sincerity of the performance, the composition received a new sound and a new round of popularity, becoming Zykina's hallmark. Western media awarded the golden voice of Russia the title of "Miss Volga". Lev Oshanin later wrote: She (Zykina) sang this song as if the Volga itself, Russia itself, sang it, raised layers of depth and truth in it. And after Zykina, in my opinion, there was not a single singer who could compare with her in the performance of Volga. The meaning of the song "The Volga River Flows" The Volga for every Russian is a great river, to one degree or another leaving a mark on his biography. It so happened that in my youth I had a chance to do active military service on the banks of the Volga. So I was lucky to see the unique waterbed of the majestic river, swim in its waters, and feel the influence of the water artery on the life of the regions located on its banks. The song "The Volga River Flows" for many Russians who were born on its banks is largely autobiographical. Carrying its waters from afar and for a long time, the river constantly reminds of past and present life. It flowed even when the hero was seventeen, and thirty, and seventy. Life passes, but the Volga does not stop flowing, giving strength and energy to those who are in love with it. Prophetic, full of love for your child (regardless of his age), are the words of the mother. She calls on her son, when tired from life's roads, to put his palms into the Volga. This gives a surge of energy and relieves fatigue, providing the opportunity for a further active life. Returning here, the Volzhanin gets to his berth, meets his friends. All this was covered by several verses of a lyrical and nostalgic song. The Volga is a symbol of life and prosperity, strength and goodness for many generations. And this applies not only to those who grew up on the Volga. For almost seven decades, the song has been heard in a variety of performances and finds its listener. And so it will be for a long time. Performers of the song "The Volga River Flows, The list of performers of the song "The Volga River Flows", written by Mark Fradkin and Lvov Oshanin, is simply huge. The first who gave her life and sound were Mark Bernes and Lyudmila Zykina, who are no longer with us. Twenty years ago, Zykina sang a song with Nikolai Rastorguev (the Lube group). Over the years, its performers were Alexander Barykin, Yuri Bogatikov, Iosif Kobzon, Maya Kristallinskaya, Tamara Miansarova, Leonid Utesov, the Picnic and Megapolis groups , the State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after M. Pyatnitsky...The list is far from complete. There are other artists whose songwriting has been and still is in different decades of the past and current centuries. This confirms the truly popular popularity of the work. Lyrics of Song "The Volga River Flows", Chorus: From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time, The Volga River, flows, there is no end and no edge. Among the ripe bread, among the white snows, My Volga flows, and I am seventeen years old. The mother said: “Everything happens, son. Perhaps you will get tired of the roads, When you come home at the end of the road, Dip your palms into the Volga. Chorus My Volga is flowing, and I'm already 30 years old. Your first glance and the first splash of the oar-Everything was, only the river carried away. I'm not sad about that spring of the past, In return for her, your love is with me. Chorus. Here is my berth and here are my friends-Everything without which it is impossible to live in the world. From distant reaches of the star in silence Another boy sings along with me. Chorus.

The story of the appearance of the song "The Volga River Flows" and the sad fate of the film, where it was first heard. May 22, 2020 11:26 am Dmitry Gerasimov ,1037. “Many songs rang over the Volga, but the tune was not the same for the songs,” Lyubov Orlova sang in the film “Volga-Volga”. For many years, "The Song of the Volga" by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach, written in 1937 and sounded from the screens in 1938, became the hallmark of the Volga River. But 30 years later, another composition was written about the Volga, which became, perhaps, the most vivid personification of the great river. And on the Day of the Volga River, which is celebrated on May 20, it will be appropriate to remember how the composition “The Volga River Flows” appeared. In 1962, the shooting of the feature film "The Volga Flows" took place. According to the plot, it tells about the last voyage of the old Volga steamer "Bogatyr", the crew of which was headed by the same captain for 50 years. His whole life is connected with the Volga. He ran along these shores as a boy, then worked, before retiring, he passed by them for cutting and his old tugboat. The captain has many good and sad memories associated with each river port. Through the biography of a man, the film shows the fate of the great river. A shot from the film "The Volga Flows". Source: website www.kino-teatr.ru/ Less lyrical and closer to the plot of the film, the description is as follows: “The old Volga captain Stepan Timofeevich retired after half a century of service in the river fleet. He often recalled his last navigation, when he led his “Bogatyr” on a special flight - to Volgograd, and from there - to one of the backwaters, so that the old ship would be sawn up and then its metal used for more modern and advanced machines and ships ... Before being sent to the captain was approached by a young sailor, who turned out to be a trainee sent for practice on the Bogatyr tugboat. The first impression he made on the captain was unfavorable. The start of the voyage confirmed Stepan Timofeevich's fears. Like a pier, so is unrest and trouble. And all because of this intern. After the next stop at the pier, Alexei almost always got on the ship in a difficult, risky way. And the reason was also almost always the same - pretty girls ... The usual working life flowed on Bogatyr. But one day this measured life was broken. While on watch in the early morning, when dawn was barely breaking, Alexei heard muffled cries for help. Without thinking, he jumped overboard. Dived many times in a row, but without success. Finally, when his strength was already running out, he emerged, supporting the girl's lifeless body with one hand. Alexei and Stepan Timofeevich saved the girl's life. Natasha became the favorite of the team. And when the moment of farewell came, it became clear to everyone: Alexei fell in love for the first time. They parted in order to meet after the end of the flight and never part again ... And again the usual working days flowed in tow. And the Volga was sailing towards it with its beautiful shores and cities, where antiquity and the present day were bizarrely combined.

The film was directed by Yakov Segel, and the main roles were played by Nikolai Sergeev, Valentina Telegina, Alexei Mironov, Georgy Epifantsev, Varvara Popova, Arina Aleinikova, Nadir Malishevsky, Alexander Kekish, Alexander Timontaev. The film was shot by the Gorky Film Studio. The film's consultant was Ivan Ivanovich Ochelkov. To some extent, he became the prototype of the main character of the film. Ochelkov from a family of hereditary Volgars, his father was the captain of the Volga motor ships, and he himself was born on a motor ship, and from the age of 14 he worked for them, having gone from a sailor to a captain. But he didn’t manage an old tugboat, but from 1929 to 1934 he was first an assistant captain, and then a captain on the government ship Clara Zetkin, and then led the crew of the government ship Maxim Gorky.

The picture begins with a winter panorama of the Khlebnikovsky backwater on the Moscow Canal in Dolgoprudny, where all the then passenger ships of the Moscow River Shipping Company got into the frame. And in the course of further filming on the Volga, all types of ships that were then working on the river get into the frame. Filming took place almost along the entire river - from the Upper Volga to Volgograd.Shots from Khlebnikovsky backwater, Moscow region: Source: site cruiseinform.ru. Unfortunately, the peculiarity of the shooting of the film played an evil role with him. The film was never shown on television, as a three-projection panoramic version was filmed and played only in special panoramic cinemas. What it is? The development of the domestic system of panoramic cinematography began in the Research Film and Photo Institute in 1956. By that time, more than 30 panoramic cinemas using the Cinerama system had already successfully operated in many countries of the world. They showed three full-length panoramic documentary films. Initially, for panoramic filming according to the Soviet Kinopanorama system, three conventional film cameras were used, assembled on one site. Mirrors were installed in front of the right and left cameras to provide an image angle of 146°. This design of the panoramic cinematograph made it possible to shoot with lenses of different focal lengths. The stereophonic 9-channel soundtrack was recorded and played back on a separate 35 mm perforated film tape. A shot from the film "The Volga Flows". Source: site cruiseinform.ru. On February 28, 1958, the largest Soviet panoramic cinema "Mir" was opened in Moscow. Here the official premiere of the first Soviet color panoramic film with 9-channel stereophonic sound "My country is wide ..." took place. On October 9, 1961, Mir hosted the premiere of the world's first panoramic feature film Dangerous Turns, shot using the Soviet system of 3-film film panorama with 9-channel stereo sound. Filming of the film "The Volga Flows" took place in 1962. And on March 1, 1963, on the screens of Soviet panoramic cinemas, the third and last full-length panoramic feature film "The Volga Flows" began to be shown. On January 6, 1966, in the Moscow panoramic cinema "Mir" on the largest screen in Europe, the panoramic film "The Volga Flows" was shown for the last time and completely switched to the demonstration of films on a wide-format system with 70-mm film. Thus, to watch the film "The Volga Flows", you need special equipment, which is no longer left. In 2019, Gosfilmofond reported that this film might be digitized as part of the Culture national project, work on which would begin in January 2020. So for now, only the song "The Volga River Flows" remains from the film. Its author was the poet Lev Oshanin. The authors wanted Mark Bernes to perform it in the film, but he did not like the song, and as a result, Vladimir Troshin recorded it for the film. The premiere of the picture took place on March 1, 1963, but back in July 1962, they talked about it in one of the issues of the Sunday radio program of the All-Union Radio “Good morning!”. The story was supposed to be accompanied by a recording of the song, but the editors did not have Troshin's soundtrack, and then, with the consent of the director, they offered to record it to Mark Bernes, and this time he agreed. Thus, it was in the performance of Bernes that the song was first heard by millions of radio listeners. On December 10, 1962, Bernes recorded a new version at the All-Union Recording Studio, released on a phonograph record in 1963. Under this soundtrack, Bernes also performed the song in the TV show "Blue Light" on May 1, 1963. The third performer of the song was Lyudmila Zykina, who recorded it in 1963 and then included it in her concert repertoire, after which the composition gained nationwide fame and is known to many more people than the film itself, for which it was created. From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time, The Volga River flows - There is no end and no edge .Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows, My Volga flows, And I am seventeen years old. The mother said: “Everything happens, son, Perhaps you will get tired of the roads, - When you come home at the end of the road, Put your palms into the Volga.” From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time, The Volga River flows-There is no end and no end…Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows, My Volga flows, And I'm already thirty years old. That first glance and the first splash of the oar...Everything was there, only the river carried away...I'm not sad about that past spring, In return for her, your love is with me. From afar for a long time, The Volga River flows, The Volga River flows - There is no end and no edge...Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows I look at you, Volga, Seventh decade. Here is my pier, and here are my friends, Everything without which it is impossible to live in the world. From distant reaches in starry silence Another boy sings along with me: From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time ,The Volga River flows - There is no end and end...Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows, My Volga flows, And I am seventeen years old.

Video///Posted on April 4, 2021 by Sergey Grigoriev///On April 4, the Soviet composer Mark Fradkin (1914-1990) passed away.///The song "The Volga Flows" by Mark Fradkin to lyrics by Lev Oshanin. History of creation///Companion of anxiety///Soviet composer Mark Fradkin///Mark Grigoryevich Fradkin (1914-1990), Russian Soviet composer. He has more than 50 musical themes for famous Russian films, including "Komsomol Song" from the film "Volunteers", "Song of Love" from "A Simple Story", "The Volga Flows" and "Fly, Pigeons" from the films of the same name, " For that guy”, “I will take you to the tundra”, and many others. Mark Fradkin - winner of the State Prize (1979) and the title of People's Artist since 1985.///About how one of the most famous songs of Mark Fradkin was created, his co-author, poet Lev Oshanin, tells.///I always wanted to write a song about the Volga.///I was born on the Volga, in Rybinsk, I have been to Volgograd and Saratov many times. But after the amazing old folk songs, after the songs about Stenka Razin, my hand simply did not rise.///But one day the composer Mark Fradkin called me. He said that he was calling at the request of film director Yakov Segel, who is making a panoramic film about the Volga, and asks us to write a song for this film. It was alluring and scary. ///But cinema is cinema. In cinema, deadlines. If you agree, write.///And Segel with the film crew at that time was already sailing along the Volga, along its reaches and cities on the Argun steamer and filmed the whole life of the old Volgar, the last time leading a tugboat, which, like him, had served its long service///There, on board the Argun, in Volgograd, the song "The Volga Flows" was formed.///It was created at the piano - line by line, turn by turn, they were looking for together with Fradkin. Segel often broke into the work, subtly feeling and loving the song.///
Everyone wanted the song to come out very Volga, and very simple, but at the same time significant and modern. How to do it?///If we talk about poetry, then there were many drafts, sketches, options, but I have only three pages of these sketches. Here, for example, what was the very first version of the song: A river flows from afar ,Full of its worries. And Her water will never come back. My pier is behind. There is love, there is rain. A shore full of fire...Volga, don't forget me! And how many times In the dawn hour You called me on the way. And in the spring Towards me Barefoot girl walked ...And again: “My pier is behind…”There was also this stanza in this version: Forests are running, Houses are running, And with them life itself, And Yaroslavl, And Khokhloma Again will drive you crazy///The music was ready, as far as I remember now, very attractive. It seemed to Fradkin for a long time that “My berth…” is the refrain of the song. And that musical phrase, which is now the refrain - "From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time ..." - this phrase at first seemed to Fradkin as an introduction to the song.///But Segel and I convinced him that this is the deepest phrase and that it is the basis and essence of the song.///I remember that there were many disputes about the music of the middle part. Segel really liked the melody of one of our old lyrical songs, written with Fradkin for some performance. The song had no fate, and we agreed to cross it out. On its rhythmic pattern, the verses of the three verses - short stories that make up the song - were written. But it turned out that the melody does not merge with the chorus, it “forgives” the song, makes it flat. Then Mark Grigoryevich wrote new music, which was unusually accurate.///At first, the fourth line of the refrain was longer. And I had this: From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time , The Volga River flows -And paints the sky blue. Soviet poet Lev Oshanin Lev Ivanovich Oshanin (1912-1996), Soviet poet. Author of popular patriotic, lyrical songs. Collections "Children of different nations" (1950), "Poems about love" (1957), "I walked through a blizzard ..." (1970), "Islanders" (1972), "From afar - for a long time" (1977), "So far I know how to breathe "(1985)," Ballads "(1987). Laureate of the State Prize of the USSR (1950).I liked it very much. But Fradkin and Segel are not. But I didn't give up. It ended up that Fradkin shortened the music, and only "there is no end and no edge" fit in. I was offended at first. But the music and the song as a whole have become much better. ///When the song was first heard on the radio, the poet Vladimir Dykhovichny met me and, praising the song, said: Listen, it's very difficult. All the words rhyme there! It turned out that indeed in the refrain everything rhymes. And I didn't notice it./// This often happens in a song - some formal features are used by the poet intuitively, without a given scheme. But, of course, if there were even a slight exaggeration, even one unnatural word, everything would have to be redone and rhymes should be abandoned. I remember that in the second part of the chorus there was no third line: Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows...I needed another one, exactly the same in rhythm. And then it was already going: "And I'm seventeen years old." I tried different lines that rhymed with "ripe" and "white". But at once everything turned out artificially and sweetly, until a repeated line from the first part of the chorus was found: My Volga flows, And I'm seventeen years old. By the way, not all songs can withstand such a "universal" rhyme. Let's say, I had such a case when literally all the words rhymed in the "Football Song", written with A. Novikov. But in a song with A. Ostrovsky; “You are good, Vienna” at first everything was built on a continuous rhyme, and it turned out stupidly. I had to sacrifice rhyme, which I did generously and recklessly. In the "Volga" rhyme was in place.///There was a special, additional difficulty in working on this song. The film needed couplets-episodes. Such episodes could be written. But will they then form into an integral image of the song?///But I think that writing an illustration song, something that is auxiliary to the picture, is wrong and stupid. And for the picture it is important that then the song comes out of it and begins to live an independent life. How many times have I turned down film work because I didn't see a serious opportunity in this tape to create a self-living song.///The song "The Volga Flows" managed to be tied into a single ball. Segel believed in her and, in fact, "hung" the entire film on her.///I must say that I have worked relatively little in the cinema. Most of my songs didn't come from movies to people; on the contrary, many got into films later. So it was with "Roads", "Anthem of the Democratic Youth of the World", "Voice of the Earth" and some other songs.///The memory of the song "The Volga Flows" is one of the best memories of working in the cinema.///Speaking about this song, I would like to share one more thought. Let's think about its performers.///The song for the film was recorded by Vladimir Troshin, recorded very soulfully and softly, as is usually characteristic of this talented artist. But when the editors of the Good Morning program asked for permission to broadcast the song before the release of the picture on the radio, Segel gave permission, but did not give the video with the recording. And for radio listeners, the first performer and first love in the song "The Volga Flows" was Mark Bernes. He brought into this performance his characteristic deep reflection, masculinity, drama. So there was a song in these two records, each of which was remarkable in its own way.///But suddenly I "saw" the song and, quite unexpectedly for us, Lyudmila Zykina began to sing it. And it turned out that all three such different editions of the song have the right to exist.///I know people who still love Bernes' performance the most. And those who prefer Troshin to everyone. But, perhaps, Lyudmila Zykina, who sings this song (moreover, written on behalf of a man), has the largest number of fans, she sings as if she herself created it. She sings like the Volga itself, like Russia itself. And new facets and new sides opened up in the song; the folk Russian character that we wanted to convey was clearly indicated.///I'm happy that I got to write this song. For this, in addition to the composer and the team, in the creative collaboration with which it was created, I am first of all grateful to my native Volga, to which I feel indebted all my life. My friend at the small Volga pier was waiting for the ship. Next to him was the owner of the pier, an elderly skipper, fiddling with some kind of rope. From the loudspeaker it sounded: "From afar for a long time ..."The skipper dropped the rope and began to listen, seriously and enthusiastically. My friend decided to show off his erudition: - Do you know who wrote it? “Volgar wrote,” the skipper replied, “it wouldn’t have worked out if it wasn’t Volgar. These words are very dear to me.

From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time, The Volga River flows - There is no end and no edge ...Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows I look at you, Volga, Seventh decade. Here is my berth, and here are my friends, Everything without which it is impossible to live in the world. From distant reaches in the silence of the stars Another boy sings along to me: “From afar, the Volga River flows for a long time, The Volga River flows - There is no end and no edge ...Among the ripe bread, Among the white snows, My Volga flows, And I am seventeen years old.” 1962.
