FactoidUndoubtedly the best known Russian folk tune (although originally written for a theatre play by composer Ivan Larionovin in 1860). Notable covers of Kalinka include a version by the all-time great Russian bass, Feodor Chaliapin, who recorded the song for HMV/Victor during the early days of recording
