    No really I'm with you. I've been to the old Soviet era GUM store in Moscow. We should all be so lucky as to have to chose between the Brown Shoe and the Black Shoe. I see no reason at all why we should have to tolerate what other people do for themselves, regarding only themselves. Next thing you know they'll be spending filthy lucre on 'recreation' and reactionary things.

    To KOLYMA with them all!

    Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,

    Great Russia has welded forever to stand.

    Created in struggle by will of the people,

    United and mighty, our Soviet land!

    CHORUS:

    Sing to the Fatherland, home of the free,

    Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.

    O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,

    To Communism's triumph lead us on!

    Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,

    Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.

    To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,

    Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.

    CHORUS

    In the victory of Communism's deathless ideal,

    We see the future of our dear land.

    And to her fluttering scarlet banner,

    Selflessly true we always shall stand!

    CHORUS
