Description:

An animated response to Nazi Germany's June 1941 invasion of the USSR, signalling the intention to defeat the invaders just as their predecessors had been.

The film uses the words of the front-page article in the "Izvestiya" newspaper in the June 27 edition (a week after the invasion), which can be read in full here.

If anyone knows what is the song at 3:11, please let me know!

Also, the translation of the title is rather more wordy than the original, but it was the only translation I could think of that was grammatical and kept all of the meaning intact (explicit and implicit).

This was one of just 10 animated films released in the USSR that year, 8 of which are currently on the site. The remaining ones are "The Priest and the Goat" made by Lev Atamanov at Armenfilm, and "Three Friends", a rather impressive colour cartoon made at Lenfilm which only partly survives (and isn't publicly available, with only a short minute-long segment being online here).
