Stalinism

[Hoyte & Elena King]

   I am curious why you excluded Lenin from your synopsis of the
Soviet elite.  Was he not the founder of all that came afterwards?

Povalili Nikolaj
Zhdali voli, zhdali raja
Poluchili raj:
Pryamo pomiraj.

Voevat' ne pozhelali
Mir pokhabnij podpisali,
Vmesto mira, vot -
B'emsja tretij god.

Dodushiv burzhuev, sami
Stat' khoteli burzhujami,
Vot te i burzhuj:
Pakliu s senoj zhuj.

Vidim, nashe delo chisto...
Zapisalis' v kommunisti,
Gljad', vzamen pajka -
Stsapala Che-Ka.

Ne sudili - osudili,
I kitajtsev priglasili...
K stenke pod rasstrel -
Okonchan'e del.

Zaklinaem liud rabochij,
Trudovoj i vsjakij prochij,
Do poslednikh dnej:
Bud'te nas umnej!

Ne sidite vi v Sovete!
Vsekh uzhasnej bed na svete
Chernaya beda -
Krasnaja Zvezda.
