One of the very few things that was worth saving from the Soviet Union was( thankfully) the magnificent National Anthem.Even if it was rendered here by the eunuch section the Red Army choir.

Oh yeah. the Rata is brilliant as well

heavily armed for its day--scared the sh1t out of the Japs in the 30s--did not do too well against the more sophisticated Luftwaffe in the 40s--great to see these things preserved and actually flying.
