Svjaščénnaja vojná, IPA: [svʲɪˈɕːenːəjə vɐjˈna]), also known as "Arise, Great Country!" (Russian: Встава́й, страна́ огро́мная!, tr. Vstaváj straná ogrómnaja!, IPA: [fstɐˈvaj strɐˈna ɐˈɡromnəjə]) is one of the most famous Soviet songs of the Second World War. The music is by Alexander Alexandrov, founder of the Alexandrov Ensemble and the musical composer of the State Anthem of the Soviet Union. The lyrics are by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. The circumstances of the composition and first performance of the song were hurried; the lyrics were published on 24 June 1941, and Alexandrov immediately wrote the music for them, writing the notes out on a blackboard for the singers to copy manually. The first performance was on 26 June at Belorussky Railway Station, where according to eyewitnesses it was sung five times in succession. In the 1990s Russian media published the allegation that the lyrics had been plagiarized by Lebedev-Kumach, and that they were indeed written during the First World War by Aleksandr Bode (Russian: Александр Адольфович Боде, 1865–1939). These claims were taken to court, and the newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta in June 2000 was forced to publish a retraction of the claim. Prof. Evgeniy Levashev (2000) still upheld doubts on the authorship, and on the reasonableness of the court's decision. The song has been used during the march of the color guard in Victory Day Parades in both the Soviet Union and Russia.
