Russian/Soviet anthems?

[Alina Israeli]

>I believe (but I won't swear) that the RSFSR anthem before 1991 was the
>Glinka piece that became the short-lived Russian national anthem until 2001.
>The Glinka piece was also the theme music for Vremya during the early 1980s.
>It was replaced by the current Vremya signature tune, I believe, in 1986
>(maybe 1987 - whenever they introduced the zastavka with the graphic of the
>red star coming out of the Kremlin).

I believe, "Vremya"'s tune was from Sviridov's suite to the film
"Vremja, vpered!" Please correct me if I am wrong.
