Russian Drinking Song

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Alina,

I agree with your suggestion regarding the song about "Kamysh", but I  
wouldn't see it as an archetypal drinking song of Russian females that  
suits all periods...It depends upon the age group, the period that is  
featured in the play etc. , of course, but the song "Na Tikhoretskuiu  
vagon otpravitsia...", for example, was popular during the late Soviet  
period....Thus, if the play is related to the late Soviet period, I  
would have chosen the song "Na Tikhoretskuiu vagon otpravitsia.."  
featured

All best,
Sasha Smith
