The "Song of the Volga Boatmen" (known in Russian as Эй, ухнем! [Ey, ukhnem!, "yo, heave-ho!"], after the refrain) is a well-known traditional Russian song collected by Mily Balakirev, and published in his book of folk songs in 1866

In Team Fortress 2, a popular multiplayer first-person shooter created by video game developer Valve Corporation, the character Heavy can be heard singing the song at times.
