Another song of the “Banned Drummers’ about the legendary Grigory Kotovsky – the anarchist, the bank-robber, the Red Army leader famous in southern Ukraine and Moldova. During WWII the antifascist resistance fighters in Romania adopted the name “Kotovsky’s Haiduks” (in Romanian: Haiducii lui Cotovschi). Now such figures as Kotovsky became popular in the anti-nationalist and antifascist resistance in Ukraine (Anti-Maidan) – since actually that’s anarchists and communists like Kotovsky and Makhno broke the bone of the nationalist Ukrainian armies in 1918-1921. https://youtube/watch?v=en7yI3-2ayg#t=165 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigory_Kotovsky The lyrics translation: Over forests, over the steppes, Now here, tomorrow there Riding a brave team of The ruthless partisans. The bold commander Leads them all to the battle, Among other he is noticeable With his clean shaved head. So is it the same Kotovsky! The famous Bessarabian Robin Hood! So is it the same Kotovsky, The poet, the gentleman – making troubles. So is it the same Kotovsky Brighter than the sun his bald head is shining, His fame in front of him flying. On a hot horse, Saber acute in his hand, A Mauser-pistol sideways Fixed with the belt. The terrible avenger for the executioners Now here, and tomorrow there, And in Bendery, and in Odessa Dreams of women over nights. So is it the same Kotovsky! The famous Bessarabian Robin Hood. So is it the same Kotovsky, The poet, the gentleman, the trouble-maker. So is it the same Kotovsky Brighter than the sun his bald head is shining, His fame in front of him flying. Many years have passed since that times There are no anarchists around long ago All of them were drinking and smoking to the death Or went underground. But his deeds are still live, Look, here and there Guys shave their head In the Kotovsky cut style. So is it the same Kotovsky! The famous Bessarabian Robin Hood. So is it the same Kotovsky, The poet, the gentleman, and trouble-maker. So is it the same Kotovsky Brighter than the sun his bald head is shining, His the glory ahead of him flying.
