The Chanson Internationale (‘International Song’) was originally written in 1871 by Eugène Pottier, a French public transportation worker, member of the International Workingmen’s Association (The First International), and activist of the Paris Commune.

The song became the official anthem of The Second International, of the Comintem, and between 1921 and 1944 also of the Soviet Union.
