"Working Class" («Рабочий Класс») is a two-line Soviet Russian patriotic song about the Soviet working class. The words were written by N. Olev, and it was set to music by B. Terentyev. The lyrics are extremely short—only two lines of seven words—in duration. It was meant to be a succinct message and wake-up call to the Soviet working class, who were meant to be the ruling class of the USSR (as opposed to the bourgeoisie) in Marxist–Leninist theory.
