AND if Stalin hadn’t killed all of those millions by purges in the 1930s then the Soviet Union would have had all of those people to assist in the fighting.

RESISTOR

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
