Russian poster, 67x49 inches, 1944, art by Petr Ashotovich Sarkisian, Dem'ian Bednyi, Translation for poem:
The Fascist rats are making plans;
Some rats are already on their way:
Packing their suitcases,
Across the seas and oceans
They hurry to countries
Where they might escape their deaths.
But the vile rats must still answer!
Whether it’s an island, or distant peninsula,
There won't be a place in the world
Where the German rats will not be found.
Nature will have its way:
In vain the rat fools itself,
“I can scurry into the bushes or under a bridge!â€
Wherever the rat hides its head,
His long tail will betray him! |
