"Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. ""Workers of the world, unite!"" 1. Leave your wife and your old father and go to war. 2. During service under tsar's bayonets you will be fed by a fist. 3. Then like sheep you will be shepherded to be slaughtered. 4. You will burn and distroy bridges and houses that belong to people just like you. 5. Then, with a bullet in your chest you will die somewhere like a dog! 6. Your father will be telling your orphan children about you. 7. If you stay alive, you will find out what war is like in ruthless enemy captivity. 8. Crows will be pecking our dead body at dawn! 9. A cripple, you will come back. It isuseless asking a rich man for help!"
