The title of this movement translates as “Fears.” The text takes on the Soviet Union’s suppression of all dissent, as the chorus proclaims that fear is dying in the USSR, but the soloist sees new fears springing up to replace them.

Strakhi Lyrics

[Chorus]
Umirayut i Rossii strakhi
Slovno prizraki prezhnikh let
Lish na paperti, kak starukhi
Koye-gde eshcho prosyat na khleb

[BASS]
Ya ihk pomnyu vo vlasti i sile
Pri dvore torzhestvuyushchei lzhi
Strakhi vsyudu kak teni skolzili
Pronikali vo vsye etazhi
Potikhonku lyudei priruchali
I na vsyo nalagali pechat
Gde molchat by, krichat priruchali
I molchat, gde by nado krichat
Eto stalo sevodnya dalyokim
Dazhe stranno i vspomnit teper
Tainyi strakh pered chim to donosom
Tainyi strakh pered stukom v dver
Nu, a strakh govorit s inostrantsem
S inostrantsem to shto, a s zhenoi
Nu, a strakh bezotchotnyi ostatsya
Posle marshei vdvoyom s tishinoi

[Chorus]
Ne boyalis my stroit v meteli
Ukhodit pod snaryadami v bo
No boyalis poroyu smertelno
Razgovarivat sami s sobo
Nas ne sbili i ne rastili
I nedarom seichas vo vragakh
Pobedivshaya strakhi Rossiya
Yeshcho bolshi rozhdayet strakh

[BASS]
Strakhi novyye vizhu, svetleya:
Strakh neiskrennim byt so strano
Strakh nepravdo unizit idei
Shto yavlyautsya pravdoi samoi
Strakh fanfarit do odurenya
Strakh chuzhiye slova povtoryat
Strakh unizit drugikh nedoveryem
I chrezmerno sebe doveryat

[Chorus]
Umirayut v Rossii strakhi

[BASS]
I kogda ya pishu eti stroki
I poroyu nevolno speshu
To pishu ikh v yedinstvennom strakhe
Shto ne v polnuyu silu pishu
