lyrics

Butcher of Petrograd!
Our kin to rise against.
Oppose the bourgeoisie…
But freedom they did slay.

Threatened with a bloodbath
Famine and discontent
Comrades of Kronstadt base
Raising fifteen demands.

“Immediate new elections to the soviets
Liberation of speech and of press for the workers
Anarchists – socialists – organize!”

Bolshevik government reacts
Answered with violent attacks
Martial law – gain control - surpression

Butcher of Petrograd
A traitorous game
(Once) we were fighting back to back.
We sold our soul…
Butcher of Petrograd
(Once) we were fighting back to back.

Butcher of Petrograd
(Once) we were fighting back to…. back.

from Vlad Smash! (Touredition), released March 14, 2020
Von Ende Februar bis Mitte März 1921 haben Matrosen der russischen Kriegsmarine gegen die Methoden der Sowjetregierung protestiert. Unruhen in Petrograd griffen Ende Februar 1921 auf die Inselfestung Kronstadt über. Nur vier Jahre zuvor war sie noch ein Zentrum der Revolution gewesen, jetzt ließen die Männer um Lenin den Widerstand der Kronstädter brutal niederschlagen. Die Sowjetregierung ließ die Seefestung von 50.000 Rotarmisten stürmen. Für die Forderung nach der Volksherrschaft, für die Forderung nach frei gewählten Sowjets, wurden Hunderte von Rebellen ohne Verfahren erschossen, Tausende weitere in späteren Gerichtsverfahren zum Tode verurteilt, andere in Lagern interniert.
