Song of the Soviet Army → Invincible and Legendary – It is better known under the IaL title in the internet. VDVSK (talk) 14:33, 17 December 2025 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). TarnishedPath^talk 12:13, 21 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

I am not sure that there is a common name for this in English, if you want to buy it on iTunes, there are four different names that will get you different versions: "Несокрушимая и легендарная", "Song about the Soviet Army", "Song of the Soviet Army", "Invincible and Legendary". But these merely reflect what the album or CD cover said when and where they were released.

There is a problem finding reliable English-language news sources on this topic - I found two:

"The Red Army's frivolous but pomp and memorable march in Muscat". Oman Daily Observer. 15 October 2017., which called the piece "Invincible and Legendary".
"The Alexandrov Song and Dance Ensemble". Soviet Military Review. April 1983. p. 47., which called the piece "Song of the Soviet Army".

@Toddy1 a note about that second work you linked, I don't think it is very good w/ its translations and song titles. It names "Holy War" (usually called "The Sacred War" in English) and "The Sacred Banner of Lenin" which I am unfamilair with but I'd assume refers to Святое ленинское знамя.

Support. The current title is definitely wrong: it is not "song of" but "song about" the Soviet Army. --Altenmann >talk 07:33, 31 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
