There is still time! Workers, comrades, do you want the shackles of slavery finally removed from your hands and feet? Do you want to be freed from the yoke of slavery that you have carried for decades? Do you want to fight for the highest ideals of humanity: peace, freedom, and justice? In that case, join the Red Army to secure the achievements that your brothers have won until now. Now or never! Workers unite, workers be strong! Only the unity of the proletariat will lead us to victory.

We will only enlist men who have served as frontline soldiers for at least half a year and who belong to one of the three socialist parties or are without party affiliation.

The recruitment office is at the Hotel Monopol.
