The Soviet/Russian National Anthem, but the music only.

Nothing wrong with the modern version

From the southern seas to the polar edge
Our forests and fields are spread out.
You are the only one in the world! You are the only one –
the native land so kept by God!


Lenin and Stalin would turn over in their grave if they knew the Russian anthem mentioned God.

I like the Stalinist version, the second verse of which goes:

Through the storms shown the light of freedom
And the great Lenin has led the way.
Stalin has raised us to be loyal to the will of the masses;
Inspired us to labor and heroic deeds.

Refrain
Hail to our fatherland, hail to our freedom!
The people's friendship is reliable and strong!
Flag of the Soviets! Flag of the people!
Carry it from one victory to another!

Hymn of the Soviet Union--sine nomine (c. 1944)
