Ithought it was The Internationale up to the break-up of the Soviet Union, followed by a new Russian anthem, which only survived a few years before being replaced by the current Russian anthem.

Re: Do you stand up?
Now I'm confused. So, there was another USSR anthem between The Internationale and the break-up of the Soviet Union?

1. Internationale replaces God Save the Tsar after Bolshevik take over.
2. Soviet anthem introduced in the forties with nice things said about Stalin.
3. Fifties or so, same tune, Stalin references removed.
4. Breakup of Soviet Union, new anthem tune, with no words, introduced for Russia in early nineties. Could never come up with suitable words, so after a few years . . .
5. Back to the stirring Soviet anthem tune, but with language updated!

Re: Do you stand up?
I've always stood up as a mark of respect but it is also laid out in the US code of law that all present should stand facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
The United States Flag Code establishes advisory rules for display and care of the flag of the United States. It is Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq). This is a U.S. federal law, but there is no penalty for failure to comply with it. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that punitive enforcement would conflict with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
