It has been our country's fate once before to suffer from the
bloody horrors of a hostile invasion. But never before did it have
to defend itself against an enemy so well armed, so skilfully
organized, so carefully prepared for his plundering enterprise as
he is now.
The position of the country is dangerous to the highest degree;
therefore upon all of you, upon all the politically conscious
children of the working-people of Russia, lies an enormous
responsibility.
If you say to yourselves that it is immaterial to you and to your
less developed brothers as to who wins in this great international
collision going on now, and if you act accordingly, Russia will be
crushed by Germany. And when Russia will be crushed by Germany, it
will fare badly with the Allies. This does not need any
demonstration.
But if, on the contrary, you become convinced that the defeat of
Russia will reflect badly upon the interests of the working
population, and if you will help the self-defense of our country
with all your forces, our country and her allies will escape the
terrible danger menacing them.
