Patriotic Russian Music

[grimzag]

 So yeah, Russians have the best marches.  Ever.  Especially Soviet ones, furthering my theory that the more oppressive the government, the more awesome the music is.

So here are some Soviet era marches, for your listening pleasure.  Some of these are folksongs as well.
