И вновь продолжается бой (The Battle Is Going Again) -- Piano/Instrumental Cover

"And The Battle Is Going Again" (Russian: И вновь продолжается бой) also known as Lenin Is Young Again (Russian: И Ленин такой молодой) is a Soviet patriotic song released in 1974 about the October Revolution and Vladimir Lenin. It was composed by Aleksandra Pakhmutova to lyrics written by her husband Nikolai Dobronravov, with the most known performance of the song being done by Soviet singers Leonid Smetannikov, Joseph Kobzon, and Lev Leshchenko. The song was composed for the closing of the 17th congress of the Komsomol, but shortly after it was performed there, it was rejected from state sponsorship by the Soviet censor boards due to it being heavily influenced by rock music. The song was restored to the Soviet mainstream a year later. The song was also performed by Lev Leshchenko at the finals of Pesnya Goda (Песня года) in 1975.
