P.S. BATORIN PETR IVANOVICH (….-23.05.1923) - Russian poet and composer, singer, author of romances: "Return to me", "By the Fireplace", "Oh, why did you kiss me", "March of the Drozdovsky Regiment" ("Song of the Drozdovsky Regiment"), as well as the romance "Russia covered you with snow". The melody of the "March of the Drozdovsky Regiment" ("From Romania on a campaign ...") is similar to the melody of the song "Across the valleys and over the hills". The latter was recorded by the head of the Red Army Song Ensemble A. V. Alexandrov in 1929. And the "March of the Drozdovsky Regiment" was ordered from the composer Dmitry Pokrass in Kharkov in June 1919 and was performed at the same time. The basis of the melody of the march was taken by Dm. Pokrass from the pre-revolutionary song "Po dolinam, po zagor'iam" (its author Vl. Gilyarovsky), there are also similarities with the Ukrainian song "Unharness, boys, horses". According to one legend, the motive of this song was composed by soldiers of General Chernyavsky back in 1828. The romance "Zaneslo teba snego Rossiya", according to another version, was written by Filaret Chernov in 1918 in Russia. Due to the fact that the romance became the anthem of the white emigration, Chernov, who remained in the USSR, never claimed his authorship, but there are documents that confirmed.
