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.
