All of Russia worries, she has descended into a terrible argument, she trembles in joy and rings her bells calling for God, and God sends us mercy and scares our enemies with awe-inspiring threats. So they, the mad ones, are now left with a broken vessel and a foolish head, as the saying goes: 'the devil has been busy for a long time but finally ended up flying off from under the back porch' - Such is the power of God and His miracles! Don't disdain our simple words. You, as our master, and we, as your subjects, must do our best, we tremble and pray to God to keep you safe from all Evil, to protect from all wounds, now and in the future, so that your life will forever flow like a life-giving Spring"
