The National Anthem of the Soviet Union, the State Anthem of the USSR (Russian: Государственный гимн СССР, Gosudarstvenny Gimn SSSR) was introduced during World War II on March 15, 1944, replacing The Internationale as the official national anthem of the Soviet Union as well as the national anthem of the Russian SFSR. The lyrics were written by Sergey Mikhalkov (1913--2009) in collaboration with Gabriel El-Registan (1899--1945) and the music was composed by Alexander Alexandrov (1883--1946). It was believed that Soviet soldiers would respond more to an anthem that was dedicated only to the Soviet Union rather than to a worldwide movement. The song was originally written as the Anthem of the Bolshevik Party with lyrics in the Alexandrine meter by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach in 1939.

[edit]History

The Anthem of the Soviet Union was played for the first time on the Soviet radio at midnight of the 1 January 1944.[1] The 1944 lyrics had three different refrains following three different stanzas; in each refrain, the second line was consequently modified with references to friendship, then happiness and finally the glory. Later on, in 1977, these refrains were replaced by a uniform refrain following all stanzas. Joseph Stalin was originally mentioned in the lyrics; however, after his death in 1953 and the process of De-Stalinization, the lyrics referring to Stalin were considered unacceptable. Because of this, from that time until 1977, the anthem was played without lyrics. Revised lyrics without the references to Stalin and World War II were approved in 1977.
[edit]Use in the Russian Federation
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Federation adopted a new national anthem called Patriotic Song without any lyrics, although there were made suggestions for adopting them and few versions were made.[2] In 2000, the music of the Soviet national anthem was restored with Sergey Mikhalkov writing the new lyrics. See National Anthem of the Russian Federation.
[edit]State Union of Russia and Belarus
Also, the same music was used for a proposal of the anthem of the State Union of Russia and Belarus entitled Derzhavny Soyuz Narodov (Union of Sovereign Nations). Although never officially adopted, the lyrics of that piece were not tied to any specific nationality, and could be adopted for a broader union. However, there appears to be no plans to utilize that piece in any official role. The anthem also had official versions in the languages of every Soviet republic and in several other Soviet languages.

Any system that makes sure that it's subjects cannot arm themselves in order to have the potential to destroy that system is by defenition tyrranical. This was very much so for that hell on earth called the USSR

[CrazyIvanable]

@Frankydoesitalso Wait.. so you are saying that a society in which people are armed is representative of democracy? Well for your information, the best Western "democracies" prohibit ownership of arms.

If you think ownership of arms is a measure of how "free" or "democratic" a country is, then you are seriously stupid/brainwashed. Go watch some more right wing/Fascist propaganda.

The whole nations younger people should listen. This is THEIR FUTURE unless the progressives and stopped.

[Frankydoesitalso]

@CrazyIvanable At least the people who live in an armed society are truly equal, since the gun is the great equalizer. otherwise it is the state who carries the gun and it is the people who are the slaves (as itw as in the soviet union)
