The song, composed by Nina Makarova and set to lyrics by Samuil Bolotin, was illustrated with animation. The animated footage showed Chapayev's division fighting Kolchak's forces. This was the name given to supporters of Admiral Alexander Kolchak during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922.
In 2008, this film was shown at the 12th White Pillars Archival Film Festival in the "Song Films - Predecessors of Video Clips" program.
