From the editors: This song by Svyiatoslav Vakarchuk and  Okean Elzy was released last month, but we would like to flag it today knowing that the heroic defenders of Mariupol are currently staging what may be their last stand against the barbaric Russian invaders who have destroyed this proud and beautiful Ukrainian port city around them. 

An improvised translation into English of the poignant text and video clip is here. Thank you Eugene Volokh for posting.
