English Title:"Vdol po Piterskoy"
Genre:Folk

"Vdol po Piterskoy" (Russian: Вдоль по Питерской,  "Down the Peterskaya Road") is one of the best-known Russian folk songs.[1]

Commentary

Historical background

Vladimir Gilyarovsky, a Russian journalist and writer, devoted a chapter of his book Moscow and Muscovites to the song.[2]

Some authors say that one ancient soldiers' song began with the same words ("Down the Petersky/"). Later that expression became a catchphrase meaning “to do something in plain sight” (to ride, to fly, etc.). Nikolai Dobronravov, a Russian poet, used the phrase in his song "You know what a guy he was" dedicated to Yuri Gagarin.[3]

Settings and performance

Some works of such composers as Tchaikovsky[4] or Stravinsky[5] contain themes based on «Vdol po Piterskoy».

The song was popularized by Feodor Chaliapin and by the Alexandrov Ensemble.[6] [7] It also appeared in the repertoires of Yuri Gulyayev,[8] Leonid Kharitonov, Dmitri Hvorostovsky,[9] Sergei Lemeshev,[10] Vladimir Matorin,[11] and Muslim Magomayev.[12]
