The song was written in 1945 to commemorate the Soviet victory in World War II (the Great Patriotic War). The song’s composer was G. Movsesyan and the lyricist was R. Rozhdestvensky. The song’s lyrics reflect well-known elements of Soviet ideals, including the concept of fighting for the people and nation at large. Мы - Армия народа was routinely used in Soviet functions of state during the 70s and 80s, including the parades commemorating the workers' holiday May 1st, Victory Day on May 9th, and Revolution Day on November 7th. The song is a particularly powerful expression of patriotism, even with modern-day Russians, as it makes reference to past great Russian and Soviet victories and it is routinely played at Victory Day parades in contemporary Russia and beyond.
