We are a million

In Vladivostok, from the end of the 19th century until the thirties of the 20th century, there was a cereal district called Millionka.  It was a criminal area where people of different nationalities lived side by side.  Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and also Russians lived here.  The Russian police very rarely looked into this quarter.

 We are a million

 On Millionka, you will not find visible traces,

 Let the police look!

 In a Chinese woman and in a child,

 In a hunghuse, in a little Japanese woman,

 There is a drop of this Millionka,

 There is the blood of freedom

 And the laws

 Not powerful

 City above you!

 Millionka is a city within a city!

 The cop didn't catch me

 I ran away from him to the slums,

 He went down into the dungeon from him,

 And safely I was buried there!

 A million woman sleeps, her secrets sleep

 Zaharonki are sleeping, hiding places

 In the nights of discovery are accidental,

 In the night suffering is small.
