In English, the song is also known by the titles "March of the Pilots", "March of the Soviet Air Force", and "Aviamarsh". It is part repertoire of Russian military bands and today is frequently performed Victory Day Parades in Moscow and throughout the former Soviet Union. The melody to the march was used during World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia in a song titled "In the struggle, the Macedonian people!" (Macedonian: Во борба, македонски народе!).The melody was borrowed by German Communists in early 1920s and used with German lyrics. In the pro-Soviet East Germany the march was used since late 1950s with the original Soviet music and new German lyrics dedicated to the Soviet (not East German) Air Force.
