Drinking Songs

[mikem3]

A simple internet search using the English term "Russian drinking songs"
yielded hundreds of hits.  I used www.Google.com, which is the search engine
of choice.

There are anumber of folks song archives on the internet and most drinking
songs are 'folk songs' (a generalizied statement which may not always be
true).  One website asserted that these so-called Russian drinking songs
were not true folk songs, but instead composed lyrics dating from the 19th
Century or during the Soviet era - or even from popular films.

Enjoy researching!
