A long time ago, in a galaxy far,
far away....

Единый, могучий Советский Союз!

THE SONS OF LENIN

Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы
И Ленин великий нам путь озарил
На правое дело он поднял народы
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил!

Through storms, the sun of freedom shone on us,
And Great Lenin illuminated our path.
Stalin taught us to be faithful to the people,
To labor and achievements, we were inspired!

Эпизод III

THE COVENANT OF THE RED BANNER

В победе бессмертных идей коммунизма
Мы видим грядущее нашей страны
И красному знамени славной Отчизны
Мы будем всегда беззаветно верны!

We raised our Army in battles,
And swept the vile invaders from the path!
In battles, we determine the fate of generations,
We bring glory to our Fatherland!

Эпизод IV

MOSES: THE BUILDER OF CIVILIZATION

Then the Emperor of the Red Wall
asked for a certain peninsula—
the one where Moses received
the Ten Commandments.

But the Emperor of the White Wall,
   no less wise,
   spoke with a voice both gentle and grave:
“With the Book,
   and especially with the First Covenant,
   one must tread with great care.
For when Moses was angered,
   he shattered the stone
   upon which the Ten Words were written—
   and among them was the Sabbath itself.
So great was his wrath
   that the stone’s fall
   called down the fury of the One God
   against the idols of Baal.”

Эпизод V

JESUS: THE CORRECTOR OF CIVILIZATION

The Emperor of the Red Wall
   entered with what he thought
   was his greatest card yet.
He spoke a parable—
   of a Little Prince
   who climbed upon the cross of Jesus.


But here the Emperor of the White Wall
   could no longer contain himself,
   and cried aloud:
“There is no such chapter in the Book!
Not in the Gospels,
   nor anywhere in the Holy Scripture!”
