Third Person POV
March 10th, Leningrad, Soviet Russia
" Oh, my God..." Alexandra whispered looking around. There was nothing left from Russia they knew...All people seemed to be scared, hungry or drunk, or all together... And yet, forced to pretend everything is just great... They watched at the soldiers marching through street. Suddenly a shot could be heard.
" What's going on here...?" Nicholas asked, genuinely frightened.
" Track backfiring. But if anyone disagree with Comrade Lenin..." Polina mumbled with deadpan expression.
" They magically disappears." Dimitri finished.
" People are very scared and I can't blame them... But probably also very indoctrinated... It can be harder than I expected. Just look at them..." [Y/N] pointed at the soldiers marching.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
" Everyone, don't stay behind! Marching! Heads up!" The commender ordered. As they passed by, people put on most probably fake and forced smiles.
Citizen #1: Life is so grand in our land!
Citizen #2: We're always filled with cheer...
Citizen #3: We don't ever have to look around to now that we're all here!
All citizens: In our land, in our land, we don't have to wait to find out that our duty here it's just to emulate.
Citizen #4: Life is a smile in our land!
Citizen #5: And everyone's the same!
Citizen # 6: That's right. We do not separate ourselves by more than name!

" See? There's no better people than others! Doesn't matter if you are an university student or a shopkeeper! Ah, wonderful equality!" Polina exclaimed sarcastically. Dimitri shrugged. Little Igor hugged onto Olga. " Mama... Will it ever end?"
" I hope so , darling... I hope so..." She sighed. [Y/N] crouched down to boy's level. " Don't worry, dear. It will end, soon... I'll do what I can to help with that, OK?"
" You will, auntie [ Y/N]?"
" Yes, I promise." She hugged him.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Citizen #7: Life is a joy in our land!
Citizen #8: We're all equal here!
Citizen #7 & 8 : Who cares if we're hungry now or if we shake in fear...
All citizens: In our land, in our land, we work as a team.
Children: You can't have a nightmare if you never dream.
Propaganda teacher: Other people argue, do you ever wonder why? If you think you're special, you don't seem eye-to-eye... There can't be any differences or they'll couse disarray! But if you'll learn to act as one, life'll be like holiday ~
All citizens In our land, in our land, we don't complicate... When you learn to simplify, life is, oh, so great!
We can't get out of there, well why would we want?
Right now when there's equality, it's the People's land!
