Section Three — The Soviet Union Becomes an Allied Power

Russki, Russki — obernis-ka

Russian, Russian — wake yourself up

the German is coming,

the uninvited guest

A Russian Exhortation from the Fourteenth Century

Our war for the freedom of our motherland will merge with the struggle of the peoples of Europe and America for their independence, for democratic liberties. It will be a united front of the peoples who stand for freedom and against enslavement and threats of enslavement by Hitler’s fascist armies.

JOSEPH STALIN

First Radio Address after the German invasion of the Soviet Union

3 July 1941
