It is October 7th, 1963. A daring move is conducted by STAVKA, the Soviet High Command. Coined 'Operation Red Dawn', it is part of a massive war plan to assault the Western Powers and win the Cold War. The mod is from a Soviet perspective, specifically two separate men: 1. Staff Sergeant Ivan Chernokovsky, Spetsnaz Operative. 2. Pvt. (later Major) Fyodor Koben, Russian Army Soldier.
A recurring tune in Op. Red Dawn. A not-as-loud instrumental version is used for the main menu.
Rise up, huge country,
Rise up for a fight to the death!
With the dark fascist force,
With the damned horde.
Refrain x 2:
Let noble fury
Boil up like a wave
The people's war is going on,
The sacred war!
We'll give repulse to oppressors
Of all fervent ideas,
Rapists, robbers,
Tormentors of people.
Refrain
Black wings don't dare
To fly over the homeland;
Her vast fields
The enemy doesn't dare to trample.
Refrain
To the rotten fascist scum
We'll drive a bullet into the forehead,
For the rabble of humanity
We'll knock together a solid casket!
