Other than the fact that they were soul less butchering Commies, the Soviet National Anthem is pretty good.

La Marseillaise ain’t to shabby either.

Here's the original version of "Unbreakable Union of Free Republics," the Soviet National Anthem

The second verse includes these lines:

"Through the storms shone the light of freedom, and the great Lenin has shown us the way. Stalin has raised us to obey the will of the masses. He has inspired us to work hard and perform heroic deeds."

The refrain concludes with:

Flag of the Soviets. Flag of the people.
Carry it from one victory to another.

Marechal, Nous Voilà (Marshal, We are Here) is quite stirring, even though it's the anthem of the "French State," the puppet regime set up by the Nazis in Vichy 1940. The marshal in question is Philippe Pétain, the Vichy regime's "head of state."
