Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь.

Lyrics:

Unbreakable union of free republics
Great Russia has welded forever.
Long live the people's will created
One, the mighty Soviet Union!

Be glorious, our free,
Friendship of the peoples strong!
Lenin's party - the power of the people
Us to the triumph of Communism!

Through tempests the sun of freedom shone to us,
Great Lenin lit up our path:
To the right cause he raised up the people
To labor and exploits inspired us!

Be glorious, our free,
Friendship of the peoples strong!
Lenin's party - the power of the people
Us to the triumph of Communism!

In the victory of the immortal ideas of Communism
We see the future of our country,
And the red banner of the glorious Motherland
We will always utterly true!

Sing to the Motherland, home our free
Friendship of the peoples strong!
Lenin's party - the power of the people
Us to the triumph of Communism!

United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty republics will ever endure.
The Great Soviet Union will live through the ages.
The dream of a people their fortress secure.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

Through days dark and stormy where Great Lenin lead us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above
And Stalin our leader with faith in the people,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

We fought for the future, destroyed the invaders,
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame.
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
And all generations will honor her name.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

a lot can be said of the U.S.S.R, but they did not have a half assed anthem that's for sure

@DEADZOMBIE118

"Comrade, you are to write glorious national anthem by Sunday, or Monday will be very good day for you." "Why would Monday be good day?" "It because train to gulag does not leave until Tuesday!"

@Josstuka

Yes comrade.

@Phobos_Anomaly

You're right! They had a badass anthem, and they certainly didn't have a half-assed anthem, just a half-assed dedication to human welfare.

@shintopriestesskikyou5674

I liked the 1944 anthem. It was really good and theres even remakes of it in english.

@markmpm

Yes, but as history has shown, communism doesn't fix corruption either. Wherever you go, in any society, you will still find a few narcissists and psychopaths.
