Tri Tankista
"The clouds fly gloomly across the border" (Russian: На границе тучи ходят хмуро), better known as "Tri tankista" (Russian: Три танкиста, literally: the Three Tankmen), is a popular Soviet war song written in 1939. The song served as the unofficial anthem of the Soviet, and later Russian, Border Troops and Armored Forces.

The romanization of the Russian language (the transliteration of Russian text from the Cyrillic script into the Latin script), aside from its primary use for including Russian names and words in text written in a Latin alphabet, is also essential for computer users to input Russian text who either do not have a keyboard or word processor set up for inputting Cyrillic, or else are not capable of typing rapidly using a native Russian keyboard layout ( JCUKEN). In the latter case, they would type using a system of transliteration fitted for their keyboard layout, such as for English QWERTY keyboards, and then use an automated tool to convert the text into Cyrillic. Systematic transliterations of Cyrillic to Latin There are a number of distinct and competing standards for the romanization of Russian Cyrillic, with none of them having received much popularity, and, in reality, transliteration is often carried out without any consistent standards.
