| Summary: | The publication analyzes the content component of the phenomenon of Soviet
pre-war «cavalry» songs. Particular attention is paid to the role of public cultural
policy, with the help of art forming a system of values among Soviet people, where
the patriotic idea of defending the homeland was the most important element.
The author explains the popularity of the subject both as traditional for that time
about the significant role of cavalry in the Red Army, its high combat qualities
and the prospect of using it in combination with other types of troops, and the
government’s campaign «for the Soviet Cossacks», in which the cavalry song was
the most important propaganda tool. According to the author, the songs about
cavalry written by talented poets and composers were loved by the people and
