On this day, 103 years ago, first soviet secret police and spy agency was formed- All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage- Cheka. Cheka, and her succeeding agencies GPU, OGPU, NKVD, MGB/MVD and KGB, played major role in USSR’s history.
This is a song of chekists, about their job and everyday sacrifice in strugle to maintain freedom and security of the state, of russian/soviet singer Joseph Kobzon, with pictures of important functionaries of state security apparatus, as well as most notorious soviet spies deeply in enemy lines!
Lyrics
Чекист рожден в борьбе, мужал в сраженьях жарких.
С той пламенной поры немало лет прошло -
Фуражку со звездой, потертую кожанку
В музее положили под стекло.
The Chekist was born in struggle, matured in hot battles.
Many years have passed since that fiery time -
Peaked cap with a star, shabby leather jacket
In the museum they put it under glass.
Но враг готовит нам опять огни и войны,
И тучи тяжело нависли над землей.
Советская страна пусть трудится спокойно,
А нам, товарищ, рано на покой.
But the enemy is preparing us again fires and wars,
And the clouds hung heavily over the ground.
Let the Soviet country work calmly,
And we, comrade, are early to retire.
Chorus
Не беда, что в висках седина,
И порой до утра не уснуть.
Мы готовы с тобой, старина,
Повторить этот огненный путь.
It doesn’t matter that there are gray hairs in the temples,
And sometimes you can’t sleep until morning.
We are ready with you, old man,
Repeat this fiery path.
О наших именах не прочитать в газетах,
Но чтоб прошла беда над миром стороной,
Пусть до утра не спят в рабочих кабинетах
Майоры с генеральской сединой.
Вам в руки вложен щит и меч родной державы -
Врагу не одолеть незыблемый редут.
Овеянные вечной, негасимой славой,
Традиции Дзержинского живут.
You can’t read about our names in the newspapers,
But so that trouble passes over the world side,
Let them not sleep in their offices until morning
Majors with generals’ gray hair.
The shield and sword of your native land are in your hands -
The enemy cannot overcome the unshakable redoubt.
Covered with eternal, unquenchable glory,
Dzerzhinsky’s traditions live on.
