“Motherland March” is an interlude written in 1936 by Dunayevsky and Lebedev-Kumach for the film “Circus.” It is a song that combines heroic epic lyrical elements with the vigorous rhythm of a march. It vividly reflects the enthusiasm of the Soviet people in their efforts to build the motherland amid imperialist encirclement, and poetically reproduces the content of the Soviet Union’s first constitution regarding national equality and people’s rights. Therefore, it not only arouses strong patriotic enthusiasm among the Soviet people but also has caused a great response abroad, becoming a symbol of the Soviet state.
