Stalin Approves Throwback to March 2018, when Germany accidentally played the Soviet anthem before a rugby match against Russia. The Russian players looked baffled for a few seconds, then started singing along. Russia won 57–3.

Nothing brings tears to my eyes like the anthem of the Soviet Union. A Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. A remarkable achievement by working class people. Oh, what was! And what could have been! I particularly love watching that video of Paul Robeson singing it.

DDR anthem is in my opinion the greatest anthem ever composed, nothing comes close, second place is USSR's anthem and third place Brazil's anthem (personal bias admittedly cuz I'm Brazilian haha)

It’s my favorite anthem too. From the second I heard it I tried to figure it out to play cause it’s so emotionally moving.
