Through the valleys, over the mountains
our division went forward,
to conquer by storm the coastal area,
the bulwark of the White Army –

The glory of these years won't grow silent
and never lose its splendour:
The troops of the partisans

And this will remain, like in the legends,

We have smashed the Atamans,
we have scattered the Voivods,
and at the Pacific Ocean
we have finished our campaign –

Comment:
One of the first official acts of the new soviet government in 1917 was the "Decree about Peace": Russia withdraw from
World War I, proclaimed a general armistice at all its fronts, and sent its soldiers home. A few weeks after that fourteen foreign

countries, among them Great Britain, France, Germany, USA and Japan, began to invade the Russian territory from all sides with
their armies. They formed alliances with the "white" armies of some anti-soviet generals who had resisted the general
demobilization, and until summer 1918 they had occupied already three fourths of the huge Russian empire.
But the occupants could not really gain a foothold. Many Russians set great hopes on the new soviet government, they were no
longer willing to do compulsory labour for Russian Princes or Polish Voivodes or Ukrainian Atamans, nor did they want to live
under the military dictatorship which general Koltshak, supported by the USA, installed in the Ural area, nor did they want to be
oppressed by a Japanese colonial government in East Siberia. The occupants were boycotted by the population, in many places
partisans rose to combat them, and so the "red" army which was formed by the soviet government all in a hurry could expel the
invaders and defeat their "white" collaborators within hardly two years.
Only at the Amur river, in the far east of Siberia, the fights went on for another two years. But also here the partisans finally
defeated the rest of the "white" armies, and liberated the towns of Volotshayevka, Spassk, and Vladivostok from Japanese
occupation in 1922. So the tough struggle of the people against the foreign invaders and the last remainders of the tsar's regime
came to a concluding end – and, as a symbol of this struggle, the song of the "Amur Partisans" soon became a very popular song.
