Why yes of course. The famous Anthem of the Soviet Union is almost identical by the way, the lyrics were changed for the Russian one though (duh). But here's the original anyway (I think this is the version that omits Stalin's name) because USSR > Russian Failderation!



You will never live in a society built by the workers, for the workers peasants too, kinda... sadfrog.jpg ;__;
Pay attention to the lyrics. It retells the story of the creation of the union of soviets, the October Revolution and such. Also, the October Revolution was a popular uprising unlike Western historians think, just that it was organised and mainly orchestrated by the Bolshevik (majority) party and drew from its enormous pool of supporters.

I saw many WW2 clips in there and also it mentioned quite a few times the "Motherland" and "Free People." From an American POV I can't understand the free part. I though communism was unfree?

The thing is that they fought for freedom. And communism is the very embodiment of freedom. When American capitalists feed you their lies to keep exploiting you and having you live a life in humiliation they are referring to Stalinism, which was essentially unfree.

Real communism is as free as you can get though, and everyone lives in harmony with great social welfare--but the now-free worker motivated to work hard and doesn't slack off like in a capitalist state. There is no state under communism--only a society in harmony and happiness.

It sounds too good to be true, but it is true. It's just that capitalists will never let go of their grip on the workers of the world and the workers by living in a capitalist state are forced to conform to the functions of capitalism instead, thereby shedding their free will. This has gone on for some 200 years now since the shift from feudal economies. And the capitalists just keep getting worse. -.-

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to smash down the biggest preconception about communism; it's not dictatorship. In fact, it's pretty much decentralised by nature, though Bolshevism interpreted Marx a bit weirdly and though a greatly centralised state was the way forward. Real communism is not strictly compatible with Bolshevism (the type practised in Soviet Russia), but it nevertheless the most similar from all the other ones that arose after it, like Maoism, which draws in support from peasants.

But yes, in short, communism was destroyed by money-grubbing greedy bastards in Wall Street and big corporations which run the government who oppress the people. And don't confuse Occupy Wall Street with communism by the way. Those guys are just hipster douches.

PS: only one clip was actually from WW2 (if you look at the guns it's WW2), most of them were from the October Revolution (1917, while WW1 was raging!) and possibly the Russian Civil War (bloody war immediately after WW1, ended in 1921/1923/1925 depending on how you see it). The rest were mostly from the late Cold War period, probably during the "Second Cold War" or the "Second Arms Race" of the early 1980s as it's come to be known... and that was 35 years after WW2!

Ahhh thx.

The russian anthem seriously is epic and honestly not any anthem listed in the question can compete with it.

An other of my favorite is of course the french national anthem(Probably biased because my maternal language is french)

Right... so they're claiming copyright for national anthems now? I mean, they are usually regarded as being in the public domain, being so old, but I'm not sure if EMI has much of a claim on Le Marseillaise...

I was going to add Canada because that's where I live, but then I realized its only worthy of other.

I always liked the Russian anthem, it's strong and proud. In Germany we don't even sing most of our anthem because it might sound too proud, but yea well what ever.

I want country. Make beast anthem, and then just give it away on 1 condition. They keep the anthem for 20 years.

I don't get why you'd have this condition...

Because I can't rule a country successfully. So I just wanna make the anthem.
