Why do Russian folk songs sound so good, such as Night Outside Moscow and Katyusha?

It's really nice, but "Night on the outskirts of Moscow" and "Katyusha" are not Russian folk songs ... both are Soviet songs, not rural folk songs. Night outside Moscow, written on 1956, is an episode of the documentary "In the Days of the Sports Meeting" created by a famous composer. This is a popular song in the standard sense.

Katyusha was written on 1938, composed by Matvei blanchard and Mikhail Isakovski. It is a revolutionary song during the Great Patriotic War of World War II, a typical Soviet red song.

In fact, Russian folk songs should refer to those songs that were sung in Russian folk in Russian times and even in ancient times, with deep national color. They are ancient folk songs regarded as artistic nourishment by Tchaikovsky, an old composer.

These Soviet songs are no longer sung in Russia, and the older generation was deeply oppressed by the ideology of the Soviet era. Looking back now, they are all deeply depressed. Many people don't want to look back or hear these sad songs, and a new generation of Russians rarely have the opportunity to hear them. At present, some Russian folk singers either cover old real Russian folk songs or create new Russian folk songs (chansons, Russia, with certain political allegory), and most of them are engaged in pop songs and rock music industries.

If you like Russian traditional folk music, you can listen to олегпогудни. The young singer covered many wonderful old songs with a very pure voice, which was very touching.
