It's is a communist anthem. So it is meant to be sung by a group, ussually with instruments too. It is therefore always more impressive than others like the american which are mostly performed as solos.

There was a canadian opera singer who did anthems for hockey games. He would sing three notes then turn the mic to the crowd. That is how national anthems should be done.

There is also a great vid of a game where the american soloist had a mic fail. The canadian crowd finished the american anthem for her.

The song was made originally as Bolsheviks' Party anthem with completely different lyrics (and author of them).
