5.THE SATAN'S
APPEARANCE SATAN:
From
the peak of the snowy Altay
I came down in the evening hour
And as I flew over Russia
The voice of grief was heard everywhere.
I ran into the mouns of imprisoned people,
Mysterious bell-ringing,
And the calls to overthrow the butchers.
I saw the death of former glory,
The devision of kingly Russia
And savage violence everywhere,
As well as piles of dead bodies.
But as soon as the voice of weapons grew silent,
Anxious rumour spread everywhere
That Russian people have tired
And die - their spirits fade away.
As long as the leaders are passionately wrangling
And the Cremlin is painted red,
I will masterfully rule the world
The world will fall...There's no salvation!!...
Note:
This
poem represents Soviet Russia as the kingdom of Satan,
who is the main character of the poem and who seems to be
very
pleased with the way things go in Russia under the Soviets.

6. F.DZERZHYNSKYI:
Seditionary, are you keeping silent?...That's great!...
Maybe, you're not guilty, after all,
But know, it is very dangerous to play with me -
I am a bloody psycho.
I know no mercy for enemies
And despising the old world,
I am sure that earthy life for us
Is nothing else, but one huge bloody feast.
Lenin's precepts are not clear for Europe yet,
But here the murderers are glorified by poets
And by the "Komsomolets" - lady-killer.
Still silent?...You will be 25th then.
Hey you, the miracle-making butcher -
Take care of this sworn enemy
And finish him with your whip!....
Note:
The main character of this poem is
Felix Dzerzhynskyi, the
founder of what later became known as the KGB. He was notorious
for his blind devotion to the cause of revolution and for
his sadistic
inclinations. These also were the main criteria by which he
would
choose people to work for him. Among them were the characters
of
"The Secret Meeting" and "The Wolf's Prayer".
"Komsomolets" -
lady-killer has been already mentioned in "In the Hours
of Leisure".

7.FROM THE
PLATFORM OF "SMOLNYI"
APFELBAUM
(ZINOVIEV):
We
tell the victims of the fatal struggle:
Don't expect any mercy from us -
You will be finished off in an accustomed manner
And you'll be glad to die.
Come forth to Calvary, to shed bitter tears
Over the ashes of the former idol,
Come forth, hopeless and faithless
In salvation of sinful world.
From now on, the glory of "Soviet Freedoms",
Will be paid off with blood by Russia
And people deprived of any rights will
Languish under the yoke of the sly serpent.
Come forth to Calvary - there are tortures and cries,
And moaning and gritting of teeth,
The insatiable butcher is waiting for the condemned there
-
Dzerzhynskyi, the cold-blooded villain.
Note:
In this poem cruelty of the Soviet
regime is shown from the
porspective of the war against religion. It is worth mentioning
as
well, that all these poems emphasize the
Jewish origin of certain
revolutionaries, i.e. Apfelbaum "Zinoviev", Nakhamkes
"Steklov".

8.IN THE LAND
OF SORROW AND TEARS
DOWN
THE VOLGA RIVER.
So that the farmer doesn't forget about his burden -
To deliver grain to the State for "poor",
From Yaroslavl' down Volga
The Soviet rafts are going.
People once were carressed by the fate,
They became sad, though "Cheka" and
Those in power calling for robbery,
Ceased to have any mercy on a farmer.
The Russian nature is so tough
The peasant is as hardy as a donkey,
That's what Lenin said - no matter how hard
Hard you've on him - he'd survive anyway.
So let the farmer once fond of Volga,
Move to big cities,
To make all those who are loyal
Help "The Government of Labor".
Note:
This
poem tells about the Soviet policy of grain confiscation
which prompted many farmers move to cities to escape from
hunger,
which later was forbidden. On the gallows is written: "The
Bread Concealers".
