Popular in Stalinist circles in the 1930's , '40's , early '50's?
Pure curiousity.
I have also heard that the tune might be the National Anthem of the USSR , during the 1940's.
I wouldn't knock it ,plenty of Eastern Slavic people fought and died resisting Nazi slavery & extermination during the period . Including many
( likely most ) who despised Stalin.

It was the soviet anthem until 1944. And I had no idea its origins were French! Things you learn on Wiki!
