I just found this video on YouTube, and it is a fascinating sample of Soviet propaganda and communist culture. It is a (color!) recording of the Red Square parade immediately after World War II. The Soviet anthem is sung in English, which is also cool because I loved hearing the words in the context of the music – I always wondered what they meant. In any case, enjoy!
Yes, the Soviets were bad, the communist were bad, but, boy could they put on a show.

Haha, I love the fact that the controls bar is red. Nice touch.

Man, I had no idea the damned thing was so repetitive.
