And the Battle Is Going Again
And The Battle Is Going Again () also known as Lenin Is Young Again () 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 banned by Soviet censors due to it being heavily influenced by rock music. The song was unbanned a year later. The song was also performed by Lev Leshchenko at the finals of Pesnya goda in 1975.
