Illustration no. 16: Poem of Eliyahu Meitus in his handwriting
A fragment of Meitus' letter to the author of this book:
“This poem was written in the glorious days of the Revolution and the Balfour Declaration which came after that. This song was sung by the young Zionists on the tune of the “Marseillese.” We considered ourselves Jewish revolutionaries who believed that the Russian revolution will bring salvation and freedom. We sang it with great enthusiasm…
The song was translated to Russian and was sung at all meetings sometimes together with the Hatikvah”
