All ears turn towards the door as a commotion can be heard out front of the tavern. Josephine, knowing as all cats do of trouble, ran off towards the back room of the kitchen. The door is thrust open and in strides a grimy and soot stained officer in a green uniform. Ah yes, Der Wurger is in der Haus!

"Was is alle dis?!?! You have started the party without me? Ach, you all know that things never get rolling till I arrive. ah, Helga, my drink, oh, you are my Liebchen "

Bowing to the table of Russian officers, "My apologies for my tardiness and soiled appearance, but, I am just in from der battle fields of Russia and Leipzig. I have a few bottles of French wine recently captured in your homeland, so, Trinks,trinks all around!!"

"Now, was ist a welkommen without ein gute Lied."

"Vell, I haf just der ticket......."






Iz-za ostrova na strezhen',
Na prostor rechnoy volny,
Vyplyvayut raspisnye,
Ostrogrudye chelny.

Na perednem Sten'ka Razin,
Obnyavshis', sidits knyazhnoy,
Svad'bu novuyu spravlyaet,
Sam veselyi i khmel'noy.

Pozadi ikh slyschen ropot:
Nas na babu promenyal!
Tol'ko noch' s nej provozilsja
Sam nautro babo y stal . . . .

Etot ropot i nasmeshki
Slyshlt groznyi ataman,
I mogucheju rukoju
Obnjal persijanki stan.

Brovi chornye soshlisya,
Nadvigaetsya groza.
Buynoy krov'yu nalilisya
Atamanovy glaza.

"Nichevo ne pozhaleyu,
Bujnu golovu otdam!" —
Razdayotsya golos vlastnyi
Po okrestnym beregam.

"Volga, Volga, mat' rodnaya,
Volga, russkaya reka,
Ne vidala ty podarka
Ot donskovo kazaka!

Shtoby ne bylo razdora
Mezhdu vol'nymi ljud'mi,
Volga, Volga, mat' rodnaja,
Na, krasavitsu voz'mi!"

Moshchnym vzmakhom podnimaet
On krasavitsu knyazhnu
I za bort eyo brosaet
V nabezhavshuyu volnu.

"Shto zh vy, bratsy, priunyli?
Ej, ty, Fil'ka, chert, pljashi!
Grjanem pesnyu udaluyu
Na pomin ee dushi!.."

Iz-za ostrova na strezhen',
Na prostor rechnoy volny,
Vyplyvajut raspisnye
Ostrogrudiye chelny.

Welkommen Podporuchik Maltsev

Welcome Alexander to the service of the Tsar. In spite of what our French colleagues boast, The Russian Army has the best victory record in the NWC. I believe that is due to both the talent of our officers as well as the quality of their training.
