translation from 1920s (Vertov)

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues with a knack for Russ.-Engl. translation:

Dziga Vertov, the arty ("formalist") director of Soviet documentary films
(including "Man with the Movie Camera"), made one film in 1926-'27 
entitled "Shagai, Soviet!"

Literal and quasi-literal translations somehow sound a bit awkward 
in English.  "Stride, Soviet"?  "Pace, Soviet"?  "Step, Soviet"?  "March, 
Soviet"?  Etc.

Finally the following possibility occurs to me:
"STEP IT UP, SOVIET!"

Does that work any better in English than the more literal renditions?

Gratefully,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
