Replying to a comment on:

государства (Free verse) by Wobble McFly

Это - человеческий и общественный долг каждого и всех нас - вместе - считает глава государства. Только объединенными усилиями мы можем защитить жизнь и здоровье юного поколения страны, его право на счастливое детство. И здесь требуются не только профессиональные и организаторские способности. Не менее значим - высокий настрой души, истинное подвижничество.

I especially find the last verse very moving.

Here is a translation for anyone not so well versed in Russian as I:

Wodka - Chicken Kiev,
Gorbachev has a stupid looking head,
The Duma - a provisional government.

Bolsheviks and Mensheviks,
The October revolution,
Rasputin was an invincible monk,
Tatar sauce is nice.

Exiled to Siberia,
All hail Tsar Nicholas II,
The Kremlin, Trotsky, Mafia, Red Square.

Alright then -
Send him on the next flight back to Russia,
In the diplomatic baaaagg!!!

Obviously it loses something in the translation.
