Best parts in bold.
The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its unshakable conviction that our valiant Army and Navy and
the daring hawks of the Soviet Air Force will discharge with honor their duties towards the Motherland and the Soviet people and will deal a crushing blow to the aggressor.
This is not the first time that our nation has had to deal with an attack of an arrogant foe.
At the time of Napoleon's invasion of Russia our people's reply was war for the fatherland, and Napoleon suffered defeat and met his doom.
It will be the same with Hitler, who
in his arrogance has proclaimed a new crusade against our country. The Red Army and our entire nation will once again wage victorious war for the fatherland, for our country, for honor, for liberty.
The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its firm conviction that the entire population of our country, the workers, the peasants and the intelligentsia, every individual man and woman, will regard their obligations and their work with full awareness. The whole country must now be joined and united as never before. Each one of us must demand from himself or herself and from each other the discipline, the organization, and
the selflessness worthy of a real Soviet patriot in order to supply the Red Army, the Red Fleet, and the Air Force with the means necessary to assure victory over the enemy.
The Government calls upon you, citizens of the Soviet Union, to rally still more closely around our glorious Bolshevist party, around our Soviet Government, around our great leader and comrade, Stalin.
Our cause is just. The enemy shall be defeated. Victory will be ours.
Beware ! The Enemy is Crafty !
My Ukrainian professor told me this is not the least bit homosexual. It is a polish peasant kissing a red army officer. It was used as a propaganda poster during the Great Patrotic War. He says in eastern europe straight men kiss other straight men all the time to show affection. That sounds like a nice place :)
