The Maoist Internationalist Movement have made a version of Paul Robeson singing the Stalina anthem on their web page.

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS (original
Stalin era version)


United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty republics will ever endure.
The great Soviet Union will live through the ages
The dream of a people, their fortress secure.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

Through days dark and stormy where great Lenin led us,
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above.
And Stalin, our leader, with faith in the people
Inspired us to build up the land that we love.

We fought for the future, destroyed the invaders,
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame.
Our glory will live in the mem'ry of nations
And all generations will honor her name.

It would be great to hear this on the Maoist Radio Program Seize The Time at some point.
