Russian/Soviet anthems?

[Rebecca Matveyev]

I've checked out various websites, but haven't been able to find answers
to these specific questions about the Soviet anthem.

Would anyone be able to tell me whether there was a separate musical
anthem for the RSFSR, apart from the Soviet national anthem, prior to
the breakup of the USSR in 1991?

Also, would anyone know on what occasions the separate musical anthems
for the other (now former) republics would have been played?  When would
they have been performed, rather than the Soviet anthem being performed?
 And were they always sung in Russian, or were they sometimes sung in
the native language of the republics?

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca
