"Farewell of Slavianka" (Russian: Прощание славянки, IPA: [prɐˈɕːænʲɪje sɫɐˈvʲankʲɪ])[a] is a Russian patriotic march, written by the composer Vasily Agapkin in honor of Slavic women accompanying their husbands in the First Balkan War.[1] The march was written and premiered in Tambov in the end of 1912. In the summer of 1915, it was released as a gramophone single in Kiev. Slavianka translates to 'Slavic woman'.
