The poem celebrates the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and rejects "Great Russia": <poem> Freedom’s foreign to you, unattained; From your childhood, you’ve been chained. In your home, “silence is golden” prevails, But we’re raising up Molotov cocktails. In our hearts, blood is boiling, sizzling. And you’re kin? – you blind ones, miserly? There’s no fear in our eyes; it’s effortless, We are dangerous even weaponless.[3] </poem> According to literary critics, the poem might have been influenced by Russian translation of the "Britons never will be slaves!" or by Marina Tsvetayeva.[4]
