Much as I hated to see the Soviets win Gold Medals in the Olympics, I always loved hearing their national anthem. Did they keep the same one when the USSR came apart?

I think they kept the melody, but put new lyrics to it.

That's ok, it's the music I like, anyway. Early this morning, when I opened the link you gave us to the Red Army Choir, I thought my windows were gonna blow! I didn't realize the sound on my computer was turned up that much. Surprised me, it did, but it was lovely to hear.
