Tachanka is a horse-drawn cart mounted with heavy machine gun. It is a predecessor of AFV (Armoured Fighting Vehicle). Thew widely used during Russian Civil War 1917-1921. Tachanka. K. Listoff - M. Ruderman In the distance clouds are rising, Birds and beasts have fled. All make way for our Tachanka, As the horses dash a head. Soon the gunner finds his target, Soon he sees the hated foe. Then sings our brave Tachanka, Death the enemy shall know. Ref. Ah, Tachanka, youre beauty We sing of you with love and pride. How your bullets crush the foe, As with our gallant troops you ride. Rushing cross the golden prairie, Toward the Volga and the Don. Our young gunner brave and daring, Spurs the horses swiftly on. Let the cruel invader tremble, For Tachankas on the way. They will never now escape you, Death is coming their way. Ref. Up above our soaring pilots, Seek the enemy on high. Looking down they see Tachanka, And salute you from the sky. In the fields our tanks are rumbling, See the foe is on the run. Forward then Tachanka, With each bullet from your gun. Ref. 1936
