Dear SEELANGS List Folks,
Does anyone study the songs of the Russian army during the era of the
Russo-Japanese war?
A student, working in East Asia, sent me this question:
So, according to one of the history textbooks I have to teach, there
was a song Russian soldiers would sing during the war with Japan in
the early 20th century. One of the lyrics went, "A Japanese is nothing
but a mosquito."
She would like to confirm this and find out where to find the lyrics (or
music).
Please respond off-list.
Thank you.
