Once upon a time in Russia, so grand,
A revolution began to unfold across the land,
The people rose up to claim their rights,
Against the czar and his imperial might.

They fought for freedom, equality too,
And for the right to do what they loved to do,
Like crafting, with their own two hands,
And keeping traditions of their ancestral lands.

Craftsmanship was a skill held dear,
Passed down through generations year after year,
And even though the times were tough,
The people held on to what they loved, it was enough.

Now the revolution is long since past,
But the legacy it left will always last,
For the people of Russia know the value of tradition,
And the power of their own ambition.

So let this story be a lesson to all,
That even when the world seems tall,
We can still create a better day,
And make our dreams come true, in our own special way.
