Here our great Repin lived But the slimy band of gorillas Has completely burnt down his “Penates.” This act has clearly shown That the White-Finnish soldiers Have learned well from the Germans. -Burn! Pillage! Grab! Take! On the day of final reckoning These savages will pay The punishment for their crimes, And will know what it means to ruin The altars of our culture!
