Of course, if your Soviet team is air-assaulting a position, it has to be the 1812 Overture. And of course the Zampolit explains:

Indeed. No self-respecting Marxist-Leninist would be caught dead playing Wagner to inspire the troops. It would probably be grounds for arrest by the KGB!
So, apart from the 1812 Overture, what other things would the Reds play to inspire the troops? The Soviet National Anthem? The Communist International? It's not like the Russians are lacking in classical composers to call on for inspiration. Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimksy-Korsakov, Borodin, Stravinsky, Prokofiev. Any suggestions?
