The first version of the Anthem existed between 1944 and 1956.
The Anthem was first published on November 7th 1943. It was performed for the public for the first time on Soviet radio at midnight on January 1st 1944, and officially adopted on March 15th the same year.
The lyrics had three refrains following three different stanzas. In each refrain, the second line was modified to refer to friendship, then happiness, then glory.
Iosif Stalin and the Soviet Union’s struggle against Nazi Germany were originally invoked in the second and third verses, respectively.
Reportedly, Stalin was opposed to including his name in the lyrics but relented after some Politburo members insisted.
After Stalin’s death in 1953, the Anthem became one of the many victims of Hrushev’s «destalinisation» and was performed without vocals all the way until 1977.
At that point, Sergey Mihalkov, the author of the authentic lyrics, wrote updated lyrics, that "cancelled" Stalin.
Below, the authentic lyrics of the Anthem, the official English version and a verbatim translation.
In the next post, the updated version.
The Official CPSU translation from 1944
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics
Great Russia has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by will of the Peoples,
United and Mighty our Soviet Land!
Chorus:
Sing to our Motherland, Free, and Undying,
Friendship of people is a reliable stronghold!
Flag of the Soviets, Flag of the people,
From Victory to Victory lead us on!
Through tempests, the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead,
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspired us to labor and Valorous Deed!
Chorus
Our army grew up in the heat of grim battle,
Barbarian invaders, we'll swiftly strike down.
In combat the fate of the future we'll settle,
Our country we'll lead to eternal renown!
Chorus
Verbatim translation
An unbreakable union of free republics,
The Great Rus’ sealed forever.
Long live, the creation by the people's will,
The united, mighty Soviet Union!
Chorus:
Be glorified, our free motherland,
Reliable stronghold of the people's friendship!
Banner of the Soviets, the banner of the people,
May it lead from victory to victory!
Through storms, the sun of freedom shone on us,
And Great Lenin illuminated our path.
Stalin taught us to be faithful to the people,
To labour and achievements, he inspired us!
Chorus.
We raised our Army in battles,
And swept the vile invaders from the path!
In battles, we determine the fate of generations,
We bring glory to our Fatherland!
Chorus.

An honest bit of graffiti in Hull, England.
The emblem on Netanyahu's forehead is very similar to the one on the cover of our pamphlet that got our comrades arrested. I wonder if the artist has read it?
Everyone should. It's vital information about how Zionism was created. That's why our comrades were arrested. Not for the picture, the words inside.

We Communist Party members temper ourselves ideologically in struggles of all kinds inside and outside the Party, constantly sum up and learn from experience gained in revolutionary practice, and examine our own ideas to see whether they fully conform to Marxism-Leninism and the interests of the struggle for the emancipation of the proletariat. It is through such study, reflection and self-examination that we eliminate all remnants of incorrect ideas and nip in the bud any ideas inconsistent with the interests of communism.

"Take care of the book! Love the book - the source of knowledge. A. Gorky", soviet poster, 1954
Consumer goods have indeed been produced in smaller quantities than necessary, and this creates certain difficulties. But then we must know and realize what such a policy of pushing industrialization tasks into the background would lead us to. Of course, we could have set aside half of the one and a half billion rubles of currency spent during this period on equipment for our heavy industry for importing cotton, leather, wool, rubber, etc. We would then have had more calico, footwear, and clothing. But we would then have had neither a tractor nor an automobile industry, we would have had no serious ferrous metallurgy, we would have had no metal for the production of machines, and we would have been defenseless in the face of a capitalist encirclement armed with new technology.

Israeli soldiers admitted to Haaretz that they shot and killed 8-months-pregnant Sundus Shalabi in Nour Shams camp because she "got out of the vehicle and looked at the ground suspiciously."
Haaretz cited accounts from the soldiers involved, who stated that Shalabi exited a vehicle and looked at the ground in a manner they deemed unusual before opening fire.

Theory is absolutely vital to the growth of anyone who calls themselves a communist, a socialist, or is just fighting for the class struggle. Without this we are weakened and the working class is weakened too!
The working class leaders must be able to understand the directions in which the revolution may travel and move with it. Without theory, without Marxism you are going into the fight unarmed.

Engels Anti-Dühring. Part 1b: Natural Philosophy, Cosmogony, Physics, Chemistry & the Organic World https://youtu.be/FdoaAatfMfU?si=VxKKtmCg5CWpnKc6
Ranjeet introduces Part 1 of Frederick Engels work Anti Dühring: Part 1b: Philosophy / Natural Philosophy, Cosmogony Physics, Chemistry & the Organic World.
This presentation discusses the ideas of dialectics and materialism as seen in the natural world in the spheres of Physics, mechanics, chemistry, biological evolution and the origin of species. Charles Darwin's powerful work on the evolutionary process is but one of the many scientific fields of work and disciovery that provide most powerful material proof of the ideas of dialectical materialism, as encountered in the natural world.
This is precisely because all phenomena are manifestations, more or less complex, on macroscopic or microscopic scale, of matter in motion. This powerful philosophy, that coincides with but goes beyond the scientific method is a great tool of understanding, learning and scientific investigation. It is not widely known and taught because of its implications in Historical materialism.
Harpal's observation, quoting Lenin, that "If geometrical axioms affected human interests, attempts would certainly be made to refute them" is now more than ever self-evidently true, in the Trump era, when with the decline of Anglo-American imperialism, we are daily told that black is white and white black - if that serves some material interest of the ruling billionaire capitalist elite.

The production relations of capitalist society approach more and more the production relations of socialist society. But on the other hand, its political and juridical relations established between capitalist society and socialist society a steadily rising wall. This wall is not overthrown, but is on the contrary strengthened and consolidated by the development of social reforms and the course of democracy. Only the hammer blow of revolution, that is to day, the conquest of political power by the proletariat can break down this wall.

Unity is a great thing and a great slogan. But what the workers’ cause needs is the unity of Marxists, not unity between Marxists, and opponents and distorters of Marxism.
