Information/Write-up

Included on this website for archival purposes, a Canadian production originating from Quebec emerges during a period marked by aspirations for a Russia transitioning towards integration into the global community. It's crucial to clarify that this inclusion doesn't represent the website's stance on the present-day Russia, which is a terrorist entity under the governance of Vladimir Putin, labeled as a war criminal and mass-murderer. His associates and followers are also condemned for their complicity. Presently, the world bears witness to Russia's atrocities: killings, rapes, child abductions, destruction, and the displacement of millions, marking a distressing regression to its historical pattern of violence and brutality and a clear and present danger to humanity.

Lyrics: The Russians do they want war?

The Russians do they want war?
Ask the silence that hovers
On our plowed fields and our plains,
Ask birches, poplars.
Just ask the soldiers
Who lie beneath the birches!
Their son will tell you:
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want war?

It is not only for our country
That soldiers fell in this war,
But so that all the people of the earth
Can sleep peacefully at night.
Just ask those who fought,
To those who kissed you on the Elbe.
We believe in that memory.
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want war?

Yes, we can fight.
But we do not want
Soldiers to die in combat again
On our saddened land
Ask our mothers,
Ask my wife:
And then you will understand
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want war?

The docker will understand, and the fisherman,
The worker will understand, and the peasant,
The people of each country will understand:
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want ...
The Russians do they want war?

Leader: Anatoly Maltsev
Conducted by Igor Agafonikov
Recorded Live at Massey Hall, 1989 and at The Orpheum, 1987
