National Anthem of the Soviet Union: State Anthem of the USSR [1st verse]

(Turn on Youtube subtitles for English subtitles)

The "State Anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" was the national anthem of the Soviet Union and the regional anthem of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1944 to 1991, replacing "The Internationale". Its original lyrics were written by Sergey Mikhalkov in collaboration with Gabriyel’ Arkadyevich Ureklyan, and its music was composed by Alexander Alexandrov. For a two-decade interval following de-Stalinization, the anthem was performed without lyrics. The second set of lyrics (the ones used in this video), also written by Mikhalkov and in which Stalin's name was omitted, was adopted in 1977.

A decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the music was adopted with new lyrics, again written by Mikhalkov, as the Russian national anthem.

Il remplaça L'Internationale, qui était devenue l'hymne national du pays en 1922, et resta en usage jusqu'en 1990.

En 2000, sa musique est reprise pour le nouvel hymne de la fédération de Russie, mais avec de nouvelles paroles.
