:05:07
God in his wisdom decreed
that Lithuania, Poland

:05:11
and the Baltic States should
serve as the outposts of Europe

:05:16
in order that the civilized
nations of the West

:05:20
might be protected from
the Muscovite barbarians

:05:25
They say the Muscovites
eat children alive

:05:30
Russian soil is fertile.
The herds are well-fed

:05:35
The sub-soil conceals
inexhaustible riches

:05:38
Of course, the Russians
have to be kept down

:05:41
But a strong man on the throne
of Moscow would shatter

:05:46
the most cherished dreams of
all the European sovereigns

:05:50
We need the dim-witted
Vladimir Staritsky

:05:59
We must support the rebel boyars
:06:03
The solitary reins of absolute
power must be wrenched

:06:06
from the Tsar and returned
to the feudal princes

:06:11
We must destroy the unity
of Ivan's Russia

:06:15
Once that has been done,
:06:19
the Christian kings will embark
on a new crusade

:06:27
We will force the Muscovite
to serve the West

:06:32
We will drive the Russians out
of Europe

:06:36
and force them back
to their Asian steppes

:06:43
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
:06:50
Tsar Ivan is on his way
back to Moscow!
