The Hymn Of The Soviet Union, particularly as performed by the Red Army Choir, is probably the greatest ever national anthem.

I can recall reading that amongst the peasant classes during the revolution, some of them from the most backward regions thought The Internationale was some kind of physical being/deity rather than an anthem.

the world revolution had a theological character to it, especially among those who felt it was going to save russia's own fledgling revolution

the hymn of the soviet union reminds me of when i read to the finland station and thought lenin seemed like a cool guy.
