Varshavyanka is the Russian translation of the Polish socialist revolutionary song Warszawianka, aka The Varsovian, The Song of Warsaw, Hostile Whirlwinds, or Wirlwinds of Danger. The song became the anthem of workers' protest during the 1905-1907 Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland when thirty workers were shot during the May Day demonstrations in Warsaw in 1905. Those events mirrored the infamous "Bloody Sunday" of the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907, so it was no wonder that Bolsheviks made this song their own anthem of struggle against "the old regime" and its atrocities.
