Is it normal that i prefer the ussr's national anthem to my own?

I'm as American and as pro-capitalist as they come, but I fucking love the Soviet National Anthem. I keep catching myself humming it everywhere I go and people keep giving me dirty looks (I'm in a very conservative part of the country). My own national anthem is so boring compared to the USSR's. IIN?

    Like anybody in the US would recognize the anthem of the USSR.
    If you are getting 'dirty looks', it's got to be for some other reason. Taken a bath lately?

    Are you in fact singing the anthem of the USSR? Because the State Anthem of the Russian Federation is different than the anthem when the Soviets were in power in Russia. After the Soviet government collapsed, Putin eventually reinstated the original anthem music with different lyrics.

    • Yes, it's actually the Soviet National Anthem. I looked it up, mentions Lenin, workers, communism, and all in the lyrics.

    Yes it's normal, some of my friends prefer it too here in the Netherlands, it's simply a work of art.

    I think it's normal. At the end of the day' it's just a song. Yes, it stood for something much different 20+ years ago but I don't think any rational person would get offended after hearing it.

    yep, it's a catchy tune, just like korobeiniki (at least, the Tetris version)
