White Army, Black Baron

This is a modern performance of a song from the Russian Civil War of 1918-20, with accompanying animation.

( Translated lyrics )

The crowned two-headed eagle, originally a Roman (Byzantine) symbol, was taken over by imperial Russia ("the third Rome") along with the title Tsar ("Caesar"); curiously, it has been readopted by the present Russian Federation.

The slogan that appears 30 seconds into the video reads: "All power to the Councils [of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies]". The Russian word for "council" is "совет" ("soviet").
