"You Fell Victim" (Russian: Вы жертвою пали [vɨˈʐɛrtvəjʊ ˈpalʲɪ]), known by its full title as "You Fell Victim to a Fateful Struggle", is a Russian Marxist and revolutionary funeral march. It acted as the funeral dirge of the Russian revolutionary movement—among them the Bolsheviks. The lyrics were written in 1878 by Anton Arkhangelsky, and the musical arrangements were composed by Nikolay Ikonikov.
