There needs to be given credit to the composer Mily Balakirev. In addition, there was a motion picture made in the 1920's with the title "Song of the Volga Boatman."


Anyone have information on when Balakirev composed the song? A date or some more historical information would be nice. Thanks! 66.17.105.226 02:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


Would it be appropriate to mention Eduard Napravnik's (Эдуард Направник) Fantaisie russe in B minor, Op.39 in the article on this song? Or perhaps several famous works that include it? It also used to appear in cartoons fairly often, if I recall correctly. I think that is where I first heard the main theme, in fact! Not sure if either of these mentions is appropriate or not.
