FWIW Hey, Zhonkoye (Thoughts about Crimea) Peter Eisenstadt What is my favorite Jewish Crimean song? What is the only Jewish Crimean song I know? Its “Zhonkoye,” a little Soviet agit-prop ditty my ex-Communist parents used to sing when they wanted make fun of their former beliefs. Written sometime in the 1930s, in Yiddish, about a Jewish collective farm in the Crimea, it was Englished and recorded by Pete Seeger in the late 1940s, and it is his version that became well-known https://thejewishpluralist.net/2014/03/hey-zhonkoye/ Thomas.
