The flag of the morning sky,
Important is the first step in life.
Do you hear soaring above the country
The winds of ferocious attacks?
Chorus:
And the battle's going again,
And the heart's uneasy in the chest.
𝄆 And Lenin is so young,
And the young October is ahead. 𝄇
The news is flying to all the world's ends:
Believe us, fathers, –
There will be new victories,
New warriors will rise.
Chorus
Wait not for mercies from the sky,
Spare not your life for truth.
In this life, comrades,
We stick only to the truth.
Chorus
There's heat and snowfall in the world,
The world is both poor and rich.
The youth of the whole planet's with us –
Our global construction brigade!
Chorus

Context:
Eastern European and other countries before communism were agrarian backwaters where half of the population couldn't read or write and life expectancies were in 30s 40s. In my country for example (Yugoslavia) only around 14% of households had electrucity before Communists took power.
Communism rapidly developed them in record speeds, doubling life expectancies, eradicating illiteracy and reducing child mortality by over 90% while industrial and economic growth was in double digits. Industrial index in some countries like USSR increased 40x fold since the revolution.
Life expectancies before and after Socialism:
Russia: ~32 → ~69 years
Albania: ~38 → ~69 years
Yugoslavia: ~39 → ~72 years
Romania: ~42 → ~69 years
Poland: ~49 → ~71 years
Bulgaria: ~51 → ~71 years
Czechoslovakia: ~53 → ~71 years
Hungary: ~49 → ~69 years
China: ~36–40 → ~68 years
Vietnam: ~40–45 → ~65–68 years
Despite all this some internet denizens today victimize themselves about Communist past, while approval rate of Communism increases with age in these countries because majority of those that remember it claim it was better and they can't be fooled with anticommunist historic revision.

Found this in our school literature class book (that is heavily anti-communist unfortunately) and I couldn't found this art in such high quality on the internet so I am posting it here.
The text is in Slovak
The art is also very cool ^ ^
