When the revolutions after the First World War came to a close, communists managed to gain power in only three countries: the Soviet Union, Tuva and Mongolia. After the Soviet Union was formed, it adopted The Internationale as its anthem. In honour of this, composers in Tuva and Mongolia created the Tuvan Internationale and Mongol Internationale.

With a different melody and different lyrics, the only similarity between the Internationale and Tuvan Internationale songs is the fact that they are about a Workers' International. The Internationale is about the First International whereas the Tuvan Internationale is about the Third International.[Wikipedia]



If you listen you can make out the word 'Internacional' amongst the Tuvan.
This song hit me right in the chest, so be careful with it. It is one the great human songs.
