The Internationale (1871)
Red Army Chorus, conducted by A. V. Aleksandrov. Music: Pierre Degeyter. Lyrics: Eugene Pottier
Description: Although the leading anthem of the revolution, the internationalism of this old standard seemed increasingly dated in the 1930s. It was displaced by the popular 'Song of the Motherland', and replaced entirely by the new national anthem of 1943.
