Can anyone give me the following speech by Lenin in the original Russian? We have a project in English class where we have to dress up as a very influential person from the 20th century and speak in front of the class, and I was given good old V.I. Lenin. My teacher was a linguistics major so he and I talk about languages all the time, and he said that he wanted me to give part of the speech in Russian if I could, to make it as authentic as possible. I'd really love it if someone could either give me the original russian or translate the English that I'm about to give into Russian so that I can say something. (no one in the class speaks Russian, so they wouldn't be able to tell if I messed up, which I like lol).

"Today, the workers who have remained loyal to the cause of throwing off the yoke of capital call themselves Communists. All over the world the association of Communists is growing. In a number of countries Soviet power has already triumphed. Soon we shall see the victory of communism throughout the world; we shall see the foundation of the World Federative Republic of Soviets. "


Thank you!

Looks like this one

(your quote is from the last paragraph)

Теперь рабочие, оставшиеся верными делу свержения ига капитала, называют себя коммунистами. Во всём мире растет союз коммунистов. В ряде стран победила уже Советская власть. Ещё недолго и мы увидим победу коммунизма во всём мире, мы увидим основание Всемирной Федеративной Республики Советов.

This is from a speech of Lenin on 3rd, Communist International (recorded on gramophone, end 1919)

You can find the whole transcript here:

There is a link to an audio file but it is broken.

Thank you! erm... спасибо за текст (is that correct? or is that only used for song lyrics?)

This is a text, too, but what I gave you was rather a ссылка (link) than the actual text.

No problem, you are always welcome.

«ссылка» ... damn, now I want to learn Russian programming lingo.

And I've found the audio record of this fragment.

Click on the first link on that page, and you'll hear Lenin (presumably). There are also other historical audio excepts, usually very short.

Here's a translation of the the whole speech:

Dressing up like Lenin isn't hard, just cut off all your hair to be completely bald.

I didn't check, if the link the others gave is really broken, but you can get the speech here. (http://www.sovmusic.ru/mp3)
It's called lenins05.mp3 (http://www.sovmusic.ru/mp3/lenins05.mp3).

Don't forget to burr like Lenin. =]
Тепег'ь г'абочие, оставшиеся вег'ными and so on.

Ссылка is just plain Russian. In the programmers' lingo that would be линк :)

Well, he doesn't burr so much. And English speakers tend to burr naturally anyway.
