Each one of us is required to know the anthem and to comply with the rules of conduct in minutes, when the words and music sacred to all Soviet people can be heard. \r\n\r\nBy all means of ideological work it is necessary to cultivate deep respect for the National Anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and to inculcate the feeling of sacred duty for the defense of the socialist Fatherland. \r\n\r\nLL: 11
