My great-great-grandfather, Mendel Pevzner, was in the Tsarist Army from 1904 until 1916. He fought on the hills of Manchuria and in the early battles of World War I. He left the army when the Tsar assumed the position of Commander-in-Chief, and distanced himself from the violence that unfolded a year later. Mendel did not fight for the Bolsheviks or for the counterrevolutionaries. He survived the Russian Civil War, along with his wife and his son, who was born in 1919. Mendel's son, my great-grandfather, was three years old when the Soviet Union was founded, and he was my only great-grandparent who lived to see the fall of the Soviet Union and was the only one I got to know. He passed away in 2012 at the ripe old age of ninety-two.

Very good, but the map is wrong, because this is the Soviet versión of the song, so you should have put the USSR

First of all, this song, although originating from the Imperial Russian Army during the Russo-Japanese war, was adapted by the Soviet Union and used to commemorate the fallen of the Red Army. Second, the soldiers who died in the Russo-Japanese war, on both sides, are victims of their respective imperialist bourgeois governments who sent them to their deaths for a cause completely against their needs and wants and for the ambitions of their masters. Those poor deceived boys and men who bravely went to fight for their countries and left their families without fathers, brothers sons and husbands deserve to be commemorated as victims. Brave, heroic, naive souls who were fooled into going to butcher their keen for the interests of their masters, who in turn did not give a damn about them or their fates.
