There is another important 78 set that I have.  During Stalin's reign 
they replaced the melody of "God Save the Czar" in several of 
Tschaikovsky's works where he had interpolated it.  The replacement is 
Glinka's "Glory To" from the final act of the opera that was given a new 
libretto as "Ivan Sussman"...   

Make that "Ivan Susanin," aka "A Life for the Tsar."
