NOTES [54 words]: The Digital Tradition note on this song "thinks" this was translated from Russian but gives no source. Averill on p. 548 notes several instances of camps suppressing it because it was pro-United Nations or pro-universality. Which perhaps tells you everything you need to know about the sorry state of the present world. - RBW
