World in crisis
Nose politicians firmly rubbed.
Like a genie has come out of a bowl
Turned to the present.

We're afraid to see reality
And we all live for one day only.
And in business, just a mere formality
We just won't go that far.

We always rely on luck
To the countless bowels of the earth.
We fly in the clouds for dreams,
Far away from reality.

But where does luck come from?
After all, the village itself will not resurrect.
All Central Black Earth
Overgrown with forests again as of old.

There is no simple field base,
The network of collective farms is destroyed to dust.
Only worn out phrases are hovering
That "progress" and "global scope".

As if we are five years ahead of schedule
Performed in three years sometimes,
They hurried to Communism ahead of schedule,
But the “system” failed here too.

We barbarously cut down the forest
Selling abroad for next to nothing
And back, as a commodity, we buy
Here is the first gap of many.

We are like children, naive, careless
We have oil and gas at hand,
But the reserves of nature are not eternal
And they need a replacement now.

The state must be united
