The music at the end of today's episode is "Любо, братці, любо" ("l'ubo, bratsi, l'ubo") sung by Taras Zhytynskyy. It is a Ukrainian folk song that emerged during the Ukrainian War of Independence of 1917-1921. It was frequently sung in Ukrainian by the army of Nestor Makhno. Some say that Makhno himself liked to sing it too. The music in the episode's background is "Melody" by Ukrainian composer Borys Lyatoshynsky.
