THE RUSSIANS
Let us remember those whose souls are in the sky and hear from there all speeches between living people,
Let us remember those who defended this land and remained in it forever.
Let us remember those who had a beard and those who had no beard and moustache,
Let us remember those who were sad and those who laughed,
Let us remember Ukrainians, Belarusian, Ossetians and people of the small tribe ostyaks,
Let us remember Teleuts, Kabardinians, Erzyanians, Veps, Chuvashes,
Let us remember the Tuvinians, and the Darginians, Latvian and Talishes,
Let us remember Kyrgyz and Tajik, and Uzbek, and Tatars,
Let us remember the Kalmyks, and Kumyks, and Baskirs, and Tofalars,
Let us remember the Ingush, Azerbaijani, Nenets, Enans and Armenians,
Let us remember Nivkhians and Tabasaranians, Jews and Gypsies,
Let us remember Udegeinians, khants, Komi and Kazakhs, and Georgians…
Let us remember those whose names remember only God.
On the day of the victory parade all of them pass a single march in front Him,
All those whom enemies called “the Russians” during the war.
