Po dolinam i po vzgoriam (Russian: По долинам и по взгорьям, Serbo-Croatian: Po šumama i gorama, По шумама и горама, English: Through valleys and over hills) is a popular Red Army song from Russian Civil War and World War I. It is believed that original song melody was composed by Cherniavsky in 1915 for recruits. Vladimir Gilyarovsky wrote text for the song named "March of the Siberian Regiment". His text has three versions. Peter Parfenov wrote the latest version of the song after the Battle of Volochayevka in 1922.

Russian lyrics

Russian	Transliteration	English translation
По долинам и по взгорьям Шла дивизия вперед, Чтобы с боя взять Приморье — Белой армии оплот Наливалися знамена Кумачом последних ран, Шли лихие эскадроны Приамурских партизан. Этих лет не смолкнет слава, Не померкнет никогда — Партизанские отряды Занимали города. И останутся, как в сказках, Как манящие огни Штурмовые ночи Спасска, Волочаевские дни. Разгромили атаманов, Разогнали воевод И на Тихом океане Свой закончили поход.	Po dolinam i po vzgoriam Shla diviziia vpered, Chtoby s boya vziat Primore - Beloj armii oplot. Nalivalisia znamena Kumachom poslednikh ran, Shli likhie eskadrony Priamurskikh partizan. Ehtikh let ne smolknet slava, Ne pomerknet nikogda, Partizanskie otriady Zanimali goroda. I ostanutsia kak v skazke, Kak maniashchie ogni, Shturmovye nochi Spasska, Volochaevskie dni. Razgromili atamanov, Razognali voevod, I na Tikhom okeane Svoj zakonchili pokhod.	Through valleys and over hills Went the division forward To capture in battle Primorye The stronghold of the White Army. The banners were filled By the red of the last wounds Went the intrepid squadrons Of the Amur partisans. The fame of those days will never cease Will never dim The partisan troops Captured cities. And will remain as legends Like sparkling fires The storming nights of Spassk The days of Volochaevka. [We] defeated the atamans Dispersed the Voivodes And on the Pacific Ocean Had ended our campaign.

Serbo-Croatian	Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic	English translation
Po šumama i gorama naše zemlje ponosne idu čete partizana, Slavu borbe pronose! Partizan sam, tim se dičim To ne može biti svak, Umrijeti za slobodu Može samo div-junak! Neka čuje dušman kleti krvavi se vodi rat, Prije ćemo mi umreti Nego svoje zemlje dat'! Kaznićemo izdajice, Oslobodit' narod svoj, Kazaćemo celom svetu Da se bije ljuti boj! Crne horde nas ne plaše, Krv herojska u nas vri, Mi ne damo zemlje naše Da je gaze fašisti!	По шумама и горама наше земље поносне иду чете партизана, Славу борбе проносе! Партизан сам, тим се дичим То не може бити свак, Умријети за слободу Може само див-јунак! Нека чује душман клети крвави се води рат, Прије ћемо ми умрети Него своје земље дат'! Казнићемо издајице, Ослободит' народ свој, Казаћемо целом сјету Да се бије љути бој! Црне хорде нас не плаше, Крв херојска у нас ври, Ми не дамо земље наше Да је газе фашисти!	Through the woods and hills Of our proud country March the companies of Partisans Spreading the glory of struggle! I'm a Partisan; of that I am proud. Not everyone can be that, To die for freedom Only a giant-hero can! Let the cursed foe know A bloody war is waged We will rather die Than give our land! We will punish the traitors And free all our people, We will tell the entire world That a bitter fight is fought! Black hordes don’t scare us Heroic blood boils in our veins We don’t allow our lands To be trampled by Fascists!
