Communist Marseillaise

[Simon Beattie]

Dear list,

 

Does anyone know the official status (or otherwise) of Demyan Bedny's
"Kommunisticheskaia Marsel'eza", which he apparently wrote in 1918?  Looking
online, it seems that the "Internationale" was adopted as the national
anthem in Russia that year, too.  Was there a competition for a new national
anthem, or is it just chance they both date from 1918?

 

Many thanks.

 

Simon
