National Anthems of the USSR and Union Republics

The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and its constituent republics each had a national anthem. The Russian SFSR's national anthem was the same as that of the union itself.

The Soviet Anthem was the Internationale from 1917-1944 and the Hymn of the Soviet Union from 1944-1991.
