On 25 February 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to National Anthem of the Soviet Union. The result of the discussion was not moved.

missing text in translations

English translations and IPA transliteration of the stalinist version are missing the variation in the chorus. In one translation the word friendship (where the variation occurs) is italicized but with no explanation.--80.187.85.91 (talk) 12:45, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great Russia vs Great Rossiya

In the anthem it mentions the Great Rus[sia] which is used in ambiguous way. The Great Rus could be interprested as the Ancient Russia with center in Kiev or the Great Russia as the modern Rossiya centered in Saint Petersburg which was established by the Peter the Great in the 18th century. In English the historical term Rus could be either the Ancient Russia or Ruthenia, yet unlike in Russian it is phonetically more similar to Rossiya, in English the Latin in origin Ruthenia is not.

State Anthem of the Soviet Union → National Anthem of the Soviet Union – Per translation from Russian to English, while "Госуда́рственный гимн" in original Russian literally means "state anthem" or "state hymn", it actually means the "national anthem", even in Russian Wikipedia article about the national anthem in general. So the article needs to be moved in order to be consistent with other article titles regardless whether the word "Anthem" should be lowercase as "anthem" or not. I'm neutral about the page move as it seems unclear whether it should be referred as "state anthem" or "national anthem". 180.243.208.77 (talk) 11:18, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

oppose The soviet union was ostensibly a bunch of nations not one. Maybe move it to just "Anthem of the Soviet Union"?—blindlynx (talk) 21:21, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: for me, a nation is people united by common descent, history, culture, language or etc. The Soviet Union was a state/country made up of several nations. For me, this move does not make sense. I would personally move it to just Anthem of the Soviet Union. Paul Vaurie (talk) 03:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
