Novikov and Oshanin were members of a military troupe at the front of the war and the song was composed under artillery fire at Zhizdra. Among those who have recorded the song are Muslim Magomayev (also known by his nickname, the "Soviet Sinatra"), Ivan Rebroff (1986), Dmitri Hvorostovsky on the war songs album Where Are You My Brothers, and the Choir of Sretensky Monastery. The song begins "Ah roads.." («Эх, дороги…») and is not to be confused with other Red Army Choir favorites "На дороге" ("On the road") or "Гей, по дороге!" ("Hey, on the road!").
