“The Internationale“ - National Anthem of the USSR (1922–1944)

This is my favorite version and I couldn’t find it on YouTube anymore, so here it is. “The Internationale“ (French: “L’Internationale“) is a left-wing anthem. It has been a standard of the socialist movement since the late nineteenth century, when the Second International adopted it as its official anthem. The title arises from the “First International“, an alliance of workers which held a congress in 1864. The author of the anthem’s lyrics, Eugène Pottier, an anarchist, attended this congress. The Russian version was initially translated by Arkady Kots in 1902 and printed in London in Zhizn, a Russian émigré magazine. The first Russian version consisted of three stanzas (as opposed to six stanzas in the original French lyrics, and based on stanzas 1, 2 and the refrain. After the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the text was slightly reworded to get rid of “now useless“ future tenses – particularly the refrain was reworded. stanzas and in the end, the song was expanded into six stanzas.
