Phillip Sear plays a somewhat folksong-like piece from 1915 by the Ukrainian composer and bandmaster Vasily Prisovsky (1861-1917)

Alas I know little about the life of the Ukrainian composer Vasily Prisovsky (Василий Арефиевич Присовский ,1861-1917) , except that he seems to have written some popular piano pieces fro the Kyivan publisher  Léon Idzikowski in the early 1900s, and also conducted the brass band of the 132 Bender Infantry Regiment - in which capacity he can be heard on this old recording: http://bit.ly/1PJRtYj .  Although published before the Russian revolution of 1917, it is easy to imagine the stirring melody of this piece being sung by the famous Red Army choir.
