Well, I can't help it if an old Bolshevik adage finds it recycled use
in modern age. In Slovak language, "fight for peace" (as nouns) is
"boj za mier". If you perform a Google search for this expression:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22boj+za+mier%22&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
you will come up with several references to the Communist and
Stalinist era. Such as the following transcript of the session of the
Communist Parliament of Czechoslovakia on Monday, 30 July 1956:

1956 was a uniquely eventful year for the Bolsheviks world-wide if I
remember it correctly! That did not prevent the vile then-prime
minister of Czechoslovakia, Viliam Siroky, from exhorting his comrades
to join the Soviet Union in its "untiring peace politics", "mobilizing
all of our strength to fight for peace and isolate the circle of
warmongers".
