1904 - Finnish song about the Russo-Japanese War [ENG/FIN]
A Finnish “diss track” about the misfortunes of Russians in The Russo-Japanese war and events that happened in 1904. The song is also known as "Banzai".
Historical background of the song: during the Russo-Japanese war, the Russian officials in the Grand Duchy of Finland were removing Finnish autonomy and trying to russify the Finns. Finnish nationalists looked up to Japan and even co-operated with them (see: the Grafton Affair). Bobrikov was the hated General Governor of the Grand Duchy and he was assassinated by Nationalist Activist Eugen Schauman in 1904.
Laulu vuoden 1904 tapahtumista, tunnetaan myös nimellä "Banzai". Laulun esittää Suomen Laululeijonat.
