A satirical Soviet rhyme

These first lines from an epigram written by Yuri Vlodov (Russian Wikipedia) spread anonymously and became widely known in the Soviet Union.

Original

Прошла зима, настало лето —
Спасибо партии за это!

Translation

Winter has passed; it’s spring we greet —
We thank the Party for this feat!
