Russian/Soviet anthems?

[David E. Crawford]

I have a compact disk <Гинмы Совесткого Союза и Союзных Республик>
(Мелодия, 1996 re-release); it has the USSR national and 14 SSR anthems,
but none for the RSFSR.  I would conclude therefore that there wasn't
one.  It's a great CD, available cheaply at Moscow open-air markets of
varying levels of repute, and less so via Sovietski Collection and other
stateside capitalist ventures.

I sort of liked the short-lived RF anthem;  it made a good 0600 wakeup
alarm (via Radio Rossii) while I was over there....  After the
rehabilitation of the red anthem, the 1600 EST (0000 MSK) rendition, via
Radio Rossii webcast, was always good for torturing my fellow office
workers here, but that too seems to have gone away for good, sadly...
:-(
