From 1918 to 1944, "The Internationale" was used as an anthem of the Bolshevik Party, Soviet Russia and subsequently the USSR, before being replaced with the more nationally-focused State Anthem of the Soviet Union.

(English Lyrics)
Arise, ye prisoners of starvation,
Arise, ye wretched of the earth.
For Justice thunders Condemnation,
A better world's in birth!
No more tradition's chains shall bind us,
Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall!
The Earth shall rise on new foundations,
We have been nought, we shall be all.

'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place.
The International Soviet shall be the human race.
'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place,
The International Soviet
Shall be the human race!

We want no condescending saviors
To rule us from their judgement hall.
We workers ask not for their favors,
Let us consult for all:
To make the thief disgorge his booty,
To free the spirit from its cell,
We must ourselves decide our duty,
We must decide and do it well!

'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place.
The International Soviet shall be the human race.
'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place.
The International Soviet shall be the human race!
