Robeson & the USSR

[Chris Doss]

The Soviet National Anthem is back...it is the National Anthem of Russia,
with new words.

If you wanna get technical, the Anthem was the Internationale until 1943.

I came across an .mp3 - unfortunately truncated, but it's more than 
enough to get the idea - of Paul Robeson singing the Soviet National 
Anthem. It's gorgeous, except maybe for the part about "Stalin our 
leader..." I put it up at 
<http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/RobesonSovNatAnth.mp3> for 
anyone who wants to listen.
