Soviet patriotic songs are finally describing reality. They tell about Ukrainian heroism.

Dear Ukrainians,

First and foremost: I'm Polish citizen and as little as it counts I stand with you with my thoughts and am going to protest in front of Russian embassy. I admire your courage and sympathize with you. May Putin's oligarchy die without sons.

I am fan of soviet military music. They are propaganda pieces of terrible regime, that's true. But they are often beautiful, hopeful songs that gave me personally lots of strength in personal hardships.

Many of these songs talk about war. War of defense that is determined and just sacrificial struggle against forces of evil. Many of them refer to WWII, the „sacred war” of soviets. But even in this context they are pure hypocrisy, as we are all aware of Stalin's tyranny and that war on eastern front wasn't war of good versus evil, but between two evil states with suffering of millions innocent people.

In spite of that while listening today to famous song „Sacred War”, I realized how well it describes your current struggle. To quote from its first stanzas:

Rise up, great country,

Stand up for deathly fight!

Against the dark power of fascists,

Against the damned horde!

May the noble rage

Boil like wave

Here comes war of the people,

Sacred war!

We will give push to stranglers

Of all fiery ideas,

To the rapists, the robbers,

To the torturers of the people!

There are many strong emotions I felt upon this realization. A bit of disbelief. Irony for sure. Disgust towards Russian hypocrites that could surely sing this song seeing themselves as heroes.

But I also felt hope. Admiration. Sympathy. Respect. All that towards you, brave Ukrainians, who fight against odds, who fight just and righteous war against the evil invader.

Please don't misunderstand, I don't mean empty admiration for your suffering or glorification of war. War is hell. Whether you fight or emigrate I still see you as people who were dealt terrible cards in game of history and are doing your best to keep Ukraine alive, whether as fields of wheat or as diaspora of individuals in EU with Ukraine in your hearts.

I only quoted one song, but I found dozens famous soviet pieces that could represent you even without change in lyrics. I find „March of defenders of Moscow” as especially relevant (with exchanging Moscow to Kyiv). Many stanzas of this song are so well describing current heroic defense of capital.

We will not falter in the battle for our capital,

Our native Kiev is dear to us.

With an unbreakable wall (of us) and defensive steel

We will defeat and destroy the enemy!

Nearly all soviet songs mention great leader of some sorts – mostly Stalin or one of his generals. These leaders are said to be heroically leading people, even from front line. We all know how untrue and fantastical is that from history.

But you have your hero president that does exactly that. You have many statesmen that took arms with him. Let that fact speak for itself.

Thank you if you made it through this longish post. I also apologize if I offended someone, I know that taking any ideas from soviet union seams crazy in this situation. At the end, please mind I only took words, not concepts

Finally, although I wrote only English translations above, these lyrics fit phonetically with small tweaks and it is same for dozens of songs. I fancy idea that reworking them and recording corrected versions could be quite a punch for Russian propaganda. It is certainly above my individual capabilities, but I'd gladly join others if this idea is worthy.

Stay strong and safe.

May Putin's oligarchy die without sons.

Glory to the Ukraine!
