Quote:I don't remember ever hearing that one.

 

In 1992 Russia did not even have a national anthem. I felt bad for the gold medalists who had to hear an unfamiliar song that year.

 

Let's keep politics out of this thread. Four provinces seceded, so it was not all good for the former Soviet Union.

 

This isn't politics.  It's history.   Most people would agree with me that if you want to judge the Soviet Union, 90% of it would be negative,and justifiably so.  But you have to give those people credit for the way they fought the Nazis.   The biggest battles of WWII were fought on Soviet soil, and most of the casualties were Soviet soldiers and citizens.
