The Sacred War The Sacred War ( " Svyashchennaya Voyna " , also known as " Arise , Great ( Vast ) Country ! " ) was one of the most famous Soviet songs associated with the Second World War . It was written by request of Joseph Stalin in 1941 , just predating the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union . The music is by Aleksandr Aleksandrov , founder of the Alexandrov Ensemble and the music composer for the National Anthem of the Soviet Union . The lyrics are by Vasily Lebedev - Kumach . The circumstances of the composition and first performance of the song were hurried ; the lyrics were published on 24 June 1941 , and Aleksandrov immediately wrote the music for them , writing the notes out on a blackboard for the singers to copy manually . The first performance was on 26 June at Belorussky Rail Terminal , where according to eye - witnesses it was sung five times in succession . There are a number of foreign - language adaptations of this song , among them the German version " Der Heilige Krieg " ( written by Stephan Hermlin ) and the Hungarian version " Fel , küzdelemre , hõs haza " . In the 1990s , Russian media published the allegation that the lyrics had been plagiarized by Lebedev - Kumach , and that they were indeed written during the First World War by one A . A . Bode ( 1865 – 1939 ) . These claims were taken to court , and the newspaper " Nezavisimaya Gazeta " in June 2000 was forced to publish a retraction of the claim . Levshaev ( 2000 ) still upheld doubts on the authorship , and on the reasonableness of the court ' s decision . The song has been used during the march of the color guard in Victory Day parades in both the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation , such as the 2010 Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9 , 2010 .

In 2007 , the US Air Force FPASS office switched all of their UAV systems over to the RQ - 11B Raven . It is made mostly of plastic foam , suggesting something like a Nerf toy , and uses an electric motor driving a pusher propeller as a powerplant , making it very quiet . It is launched with a bungee cord , carries three small CCD cameras , has an endurance of about an hour . It flies mostly under autonomous control , with the " pilot " keeping track of what ' s going on with a laptop computer . The Desert Hawk is also used by the 32nd Regiment Royal Artillery of the British Army as a tactical surveillance system , and has seen use in Afghanistan .

The hostile forces brought up a machine gun in an effort to dislodge him but were frustrated when he lifted his gun to an exposed but advantageous position atop a log , courageously stood up in his foxhole and knocked out the enemy weapon . A rocket blasted his gun from position , but he retrieved it and continued firing . He silenced a second machine gun and then made repeated trips over fire - swept terrain to replenish his ammunition supply . Wounded painfully in this dangerous task , he disregarded his injury and hurried back to his post , where his weapon was showered with mud when another rocket barely missed him . In the midst of the battle , with enemy troops taking advantage of his predicament to press forward , he calmly cleaned his gun , put it back into action and drove off the attackers . He continued to fire until his ammunition was expended , when , with a fierce desire to close with the enemy , he picked up a carbine , killed 1 enemy soldier , wounded another and engaged in a desperate firefight with a third until he was mortally wounded by a burst from a machine pistol . The extraordinary heroism and intrepidity displayed by Pvt . McGraw inspired his comrades to great efforts and was a major factor in repulsing the enemy attack . Honored in ship naming .
