I found this great web site and searched the forums if it was mentioned before. I couldn't find anything so I started this thread.

Here is where you can find hundreds of Soviet songs/marches.

SovMusic.ru - Soviet Music
or go directly to the military marches page,
SovMusic.ru - Military marches and songs

You can download files by clicking the mp3 link and than right clicking the link shown there (large or small file on your choice) and then click "save link as."

Thank you Kerem. These are also nice while watching small video clips or Soviet WWII propaganda fims.

Great find, Oh Grand Turk.

I'm sure our good American Allies will especially like this surprise. Put your speakers on LOUD and stand up!

Here's a hint

You know, with the story of my divorce I ought to be a troubled, depressed, etc. guy, but in fact I walk on the streets freely whistling the Gimn Sovetskogo Soyuza. I am ecletic enough to make concessions so I also whistle the Halls of Montezuma, Anchors Aweigh, Horst Wessel (yes! pretty music, spoilt by rascals), Preussens Gloria, Preobraczensky March, Tipperary, etc, etc, whatever comes to my lips.

From the corner of my eye I see heads turning but I don't give a sheet, and when The Red Rabbi stares back people sudenly look the other way!

__________________

The Red Rabbi singing the Horst Wessel Lied, that's got to be something! Everytime I hear it it reminds me of the game"Doom". When I hear the Soviet anthem, it reminds me of the Olymlpic games of the cold war period. Funny isn't it?

__________________

No, no, no, no, no, you misunderstand me. "I" whistle the Horst Wessel Lied at times, The Red Rabbi just shrugs, pretends he doesn't know me, and makes some notes on a little black pocket book he carries with him.

__________________

I whistle those and Men of Harlach, too. Glad the Red Rabbi isn't close at hand.

oops za I'm getting confused with all these double personalities .
I hope you are not whistling two tunes at the same time.

Za, have you ever thought of getting professional help after your divorce? I started to worry about you comrade.

But I AM getting professional help! And my shrink told me he has his office schock full of female divorcees and if he had guy like Za for each one he would lose half his clientele! (I'm entirely serious this time)

As usual, The Red Rabbi sits quietly in a corner and scribbles notes in his damned little black book!

Skip, what bloody double personalities? I'm not a schizo! Actually TRR is more provincial and he sings old revolutionary songs from his time with the 1st Cavalry Army in Tsaritsyn, with his buddies Stalin, Buddienny, Voroshilov...

But there's worse. The proper Soviet command structure is composed of a Troika:

1 - Commander
2 - Chief of Staff
3 - Political Officer

Slots 1 and 3 are filled, as you know. Trouble is I'm having a terrible difficulty in finding a suitable guy for slot 2.

For instance, in the photo below you have the Military Council of the Stalingrad Front:



Standing, from left to right: Bob Hoskins (oops, Political Off. N. Khruschev), Gen. A. Kirichenko, C.o.Staff, and Col. Gen. A. Yerememko). Sitting is the local Party secretary.
