Happy Revolution Day everyone! In the Crimson Dawn universe, the National Anthem of the New USSR still retains the same tune as that of the New USSR's predecessor, though the lyrics are slightly different, taking elements from both the 1944 and 1977 versions, and it was written by Premier Latyeskov near the end of the 2nd Russian Civil War. This is a short instrumental version of the Anthem, but the full lyrics for both the Russian and Robeson-inspired English lyrics are below the synopsis for the fictional nation:
The New Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a secular, Democratic Socialist nation led by Premier Rik Latyeskov. The New USSR was formed from the aftermath of the 2nd Russian Civil War when General Secretary Rik Latyeskov and the 15 Governors of the Provisional Soviet Republics signed the Treaty of Reunification on Christmas Day of 2024, which officially reunified all former Soviet Republics. Their main ideology, Latyeskovism, is very widely supported throughout the nation, and although there are other parties in the government, the New CPSU has been the majority ever since the New USSR's formation. Thanks to Latyeskov's more lenient approach to Socialism, the New USSR has seen an astounding level of economic and military growth, thus becoming the only remaining superpower in the wake of the 2nd Great Depression that struck back in 2016.

Russian Lyrics:
Союз нерушимый республик свободных,
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь!
Да здравствует созданный волей народов,
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Знамя Советское, знамя народное,
Пусть от победы к победе ведёт!
Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы
И Ленин великий нам путь озарил!
На правое дело он поднял народы,
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Знамя Советское, знамя народное,
Пусть от победы к победе ведёт!
В торжесве бессмертных идей Социализма,
Мы видим грядущее нашей страны!
И Красному знамени славной Отчизны,
Мы будем всегда беззаветно верны!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Знамя Советское, знамя народное,
Пусть от победы к победе ведёт!
Robeson-inspired English Lyrics:
United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty Republics will ever endure!
The New Soviet Union will live through the ages,
The dream of a people, their fortress secure!
Long live our Soviet Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand,
Long live her people, united and free!
Strong is our nation tried by fire, long may her crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all those to see!
Through days dark and stormy where great Lenin led us,
Our eyes saw the bright Sun of freedom above!
In his Revolution, with faith in the people,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love!
Long live our Soviet Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand,
Long live her people, united and free!
Strong is our nation tried by fire, long may her crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all those to see!
In triumph and glory, Socialism guides us,
Our Motherland’s future is clear as the sky!
And to our Union’s fluttering red banner,
Those brave enough to bear it shall always stand high!
Long live our Soviet Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand,
Long live her people, united and free!
Strong is our nation tried by fire, long may her crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all those to see!
