Translation of an old Bolshevik poster

Workers of the world, unite!

FEMALE MUSLIM-WORKERS!

Kings, beys and khans used to TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS. You [female] used to be a slave in a state, a slate in a factory, and a slave in a family.

Soviet rule gave you EQUAL RIGHTS WITH EVERYONE. It broke the chains which used to bind you.

DO PROTECT THE RULE OF WORKERS AND PEASANTS: IT'S YOUR RULE AS WELL, WORKER [female]!

Soviet rule brought you onto the wide road towards the light and knowledge. It opened for you the doors of the school for adults.

GO LEARN, WORKER [female]!

Soviet rule takes care of you when you are preparing to become a mother. It saves your strength, it wants your children to be born strong and healthy.

SOVIET RULE IS A PROTECTOR OF YOUR CHILDREN, WORKER [female]!

Soviet rule builds nurseries, orphanages, schools for your children. It strives to free you from slavery at home, it wants motherhood to be a bright joy for you.

DO HELP THE SOVIET RULE IN ITS UNDERTAKINGS, WORKER [female]!

Under the soviet rule your children will group up to be the free citizens of a great communist republic.

REMEMBER, WORKER [female]: ONLY THE SOVIET RULE BRINGS FREEDOM TO WORKERS!

Bourgeoisie, musavatists, beys, and khans strive to bring you back to the old life of a slave.

BUT THE SOVIET RULE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS, WORKER [female]!

Soviet rule created a valiant Red army for your faithful protection, which brings death to capitalists, beys, khans; and peace to your house.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN, WORKER [female], TO HELP THE RED ARMY!

Capitalists from all over the world, beys, khans and musavatists exert every effort to wrest the power from the hands of risen workers.

TOGETHER WITH WORKERS KEEP THE RED BANNER HIGH, WORKER [female], THE BANNER OF LABOR AND COMMUNISM!

You are a part of the working class. Yor are sharing with it grief and joy. Its victory is your victory.

DO STEP IN STEP WITH WORKER, DON'T FALL BEHIND, WORKER [female]!

Long live the Soviet Rule!

Long live the International Communist Revolution!
