The Hymn of the Soviet Union

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

For the full stirring effect
(please play loud with your windows open and remember to bellow along (in English)).

Wow, you're as red as Hugo Chavez's bright rosy asscheeks, aren't ya? Where's McCarthy when you need him?

Man, that was terrible. I'm sorry.

I still prefer "Damn It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta"

Isn't 'Damn it feels good to be a gangster' their NEW national anthem? http://www.funet.fi/pub/culture/russian/html_pages/images/soviet4.gif
