Comrade Red soldiers and sailors,
officers and political workers,
partisan men and women!
The whole world watches you
as a power capable of destroying
the rapacious hordes of the German invaders.
The whole of Europe, temporarily
under the German yoke, watches you,
as their liberators.
A great mission of liberation
has fallen to your lot.
Prove worthy of that mission!
You are waging a war
that is liberating and just.
May you be inspired in this war
by the courageous image of our forefathers -
Aleksandr Nevskii, Dmitrii Donskoi, Kuzma Minin,
Dmitrii Pozharskii, Aleksandr Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov!
May you be blessed by the
indomitable banner of the great Lenin!
To the utter rout of the German invaders!
Death to the German occupiers!
Long live our glorious Motherland!
her freedom, her independence!
Under the banner of Lenin - forward to victory!
