What song is played during Russian or Soviet military funerals?
OBVIOUSLY some sort of military or patriotic anthem or march. I would not be surprised if the Marcia Reale (Royal March) is still used, particularily for the Navy, who still fly the Triple Crown ensign on their ships ( despite the fact Italy has been Republican since l946) it is arguable the Marcia Reale- jazzed up quite a bit, formed the basis for the instrumental Rock song- Telstar. It was the De Facto National anthem of Italy in the monarchy period.
