A well-known song of the “good” Russians:
“Do not take us for villains.
It is the unworthy authorities, not us.
They ordered us,
Gave us rubles —
That is why we kill
And ourselves we die.
They set us on you,
And we
Do not want war.

We will yet rise from our knees, the government will change,
We will live in a new way — we will make peace.
They will respect us,
They will speak Russian,
Russia will expand,
We will embrace again.

You will yet see how good we are.
On your ruins, in your rear.
And for now
It is not we who are guilty,
But the money.
Do not judge us, ask Moscow.”
